MongoDB Metrics

To get started first follow the steps below:

• Install metricbeat
• Root access
• Verify the required port is open

Older versions can be found here metricbeat 7, metricbeat 6, metricbeat 5

The configuration file below is pre-configured to send data to your Logit.io Stack via Logstash.

Copy the configuration file below and overwrite the contents of metricbeat.yml.

###################### Logit.io Metricbeat Configuration #######################
# =========================== Modules configuration ============================

metricbeat.config.modules:
  # Glob pattern for configuration loading
  path: ${path.config}/modules.d/*.yml

  # Set to true to enable config reloading
  reload.enabled: false

  # Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
  #reload.period: 10s
# ======================= Elasticsearch template setting =======================
setup.template.settings:
  index.number_of_shards: 1
  index.codec: best_compression

There are several built in metricbeat modules you can use. To enable the MongoDB module, run the following:

deb/rpm

metricbeat modules list
metricbeat modules enable mongodb

macOS

./metricbeat modules list
./metricbeat modules enable mongodb

Windows

PS > .\metricbeat.exe modules enable mongodb

Each module has its own configuration file where different metricsets can be enabled / disabled. Locate the configuration file for the MongoDB module.

deb/rpm /etc/metricbeat/modules.d/mongodb.yml

mac/win ~/<EXTRACTED_ARCHIVE>/modules.d/mongodb.yml

By default the following metricsets are disabled. To enable or disable a metric simply comment or uncomment the line out.

- module: mongodb
  #metricsets:
  #  - dbstats
  #  - status
  #  - collstats
  #  - metrics
  #  - replstatus
  period: 10s

Start or restart metricbeat to apply the configuration changes.

Data should now have been sent to your Stack.

If you don't see logs take a look at How to diagnose no data in Stack below for how to diagnose common issues.

If you don't see data appearing in your Stack after following the steps, visit the Help Centre guide for steps to diagnose no data appearing in your Stack or Chat to support now.

The MongoDB metricsets were tested with MongoDB 3.4 and 3.0 and are expected to work with all versions >= 2.8.

The MongoDB module comes with predefined Kibana dashboards. To view your dashboards for any of your Logit.io stacks, launch Logs and choose Dashboards.

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database system renowned for its flexibility, scalability, and efficiency in managing and storing vast volumes of data, making it a prime choice for handling shipping logs effectively. This overview provides a concise understanding of MongoDB's relevance in the context of shipping log management.

MongoDB is a document-oriented database that organizes data into JSON-like BSON (Binary JSON) documents, allowing for easy storage and retrieval of unstructured or semi-structured data, a common format for shipping logs.

Its dynamic schema design accommodates changes in data structure without necessitating a predefined schema, enabling smooth adaptation to evolving shipping log requirements.

MongoDB's horizontal scalability, achieved through sharding, makes it well-suited for handling high-volume shipping logs, distributing data across multiple servers for improved performance and fault tolerance. This ensures that as your shipping log data grows, MongoDB can seamlessly accommodate the increasing workload.

Additionally, MongoDB's powerful querying capabilities and indexing support allow for efficient retrieval and analysis of shipping log data to an external service such as Logit.io, facilitating real-time monitoring, trend analysis, and reporting. Its robust security features and access controls ensure that sensitive shipping information remains protected.
