In this section, we provide guides and references to use the MongoDB connector.

Configure and schedule MongoDB metadata workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

- [Requirements](#requirements)
- [Metadata Ingestion](#metadata-ingestion)
- [Data Profiler](#data-profiler)

{% partial file="/v1.5/connectors/ingestion-modes-tiles.md" variables={yamlPath: "/connectors/database/mongodb/yaml"} /%}

## Requirements

To fetch the metadata from MongoDB to OpenMetadata, the MongoDB user must have access to perform `find` operation on collection and `listCollection` operations on database available in MongoDB.

## Metadata Ingestion

{% partial 
  file="/v1.5/connectors/metadata-ingestion-ui.md" 
  variables={
    connector: "MongoDB", 
    selectServicePath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/mongodb/select-service.png",
    addNewServicePath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/mongodb/add-new-service.png",
    serviceConnectionPath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/mongodb/service-connection.png",

#### Connection Details

- **Username**: Username to connect to Mongodb. This user must have access to perform `find` operation on collection and `listCollection` operations on database available in MongoDB.
- **Password**: Password to connect to MongoDB.
- **Host Port**: The hostPort parameter specifies the host and port of the MongoDB. This should be specified as a string in the format `hostname:port`. E.g., `localhost:27017`.
- **databaseName**: Optional name to give to the database in OpenMetadata. If left blank, we will use default as the database name.

### Limitations

The MongodDB data profiler current supports only the following features:

1. **Row count**: The number of rows in the collection. Sampling or custom query is not supported.
2. **Sample data:** If a custom query is defined it will be used for sample data.
