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

Configure and schedule MongoDB metadata workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements
• Metadata Ingestion
• Data Profiler
• Troubleshooting

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="/v1.8/connectors/metadata-ingestion-ui.md" variables={ connector: "MongoDB", selectServicePath: "/images/v1.8/connectors/mongodb/select-service.png", addNewServicePath: "/images/v1.8/connectors/mongodb/add-new-service.png", serviceConnectionPath: "/images/v1.8/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: When using the mongodb connecion schema, 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. When using the mongodb+srv connection schema, the hostPort parameter specifies the host and port of the MongoDB. This should be specified as a string in the format hostname. E.g., cluster0-abcde.mongodb.net.
• databaseName: Optional name to give to the database in OpenMetadata. If left blank, we will use default as the database name.

Using Atlas? Follow this guide to get the connection string.

Profiler deployment

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.
