Configuration
# A plugin that can transmit logs to mongodb
[[outputs.mongodb]]
# connection string examples for mongodb
dsn = "mongodb://localhost:27017"
# dsn = "mongodb://mongod1:27017,mongod2:27017,mongod3:27017/admin&replicaSet=myReplSet&w=1"
# overrides serverSelectionTimeoutMS in dsn if set
# timeout = "30s"
# default authentication, optional
# authentication = "NONE"
# for SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication
# authentication = "SCRAM"
# username = "root"
# password = "***"
## for PLAIN authentication (e.g., LDAP)
## IMPORTANT: PLAIN authentication sends credentials in plaintext during the
## authentication handshake. Always use TLS to encrypt credentials in transit.
# authentication = "PLAIN"
# username = "myuser"
# password = "***"
# for x509 certificate authentication
# authentication = "X509"
# tls_ca = "ca.pem"
# tls_key = "client.pem"
# # tls_key_pwd = "changeme" # required for encrypted tls_key
# insecure_skip_verify = false
# database to store measurements and time series collections
# database = "telegraf"
# granularity can be seconds, minutes, or hours.
# configuring this value will be based on your input collection frequency.
# see https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/timeseries-collections/#create-a-time-series-collection
# granularity = "seconds"
# optionally set a TTL to automatically expire documents from the measurement collections.
# ttl = "360h"Was this page helpful?
