MongoDB
Instantly visualize MongoDB data in Grafana and correlate it with other data
With the Grafana data source plugin for MongoDB, you can interact in real time with your existing MongoDB data and unify data sets across your company into one diagnostic workspace.
Why use MongoDB and Grafana?
Visualize MongoDB data without moving or duplicating it
Query, visualize, and alert on MongoDB data in real time without having to migrate or ingest your data. With the power of Grafana, you can translate and transform your existing application and business metrics into flexible and versatile dashboards.
Connect tools and teams to improve business visibility
Bring together your MongoDB data with other data sources on the same time range and provides a single pane of glass into your business. For example, you can get a real-time look into the business impact of an application slowdown by combining business transaction volume alongside system health metrics.
Correlate your MongoDB data in Grafana with anything
Get instant access to 80+ data sources, including Enterprise plugins for Elasticsearch, Jira, Datadog, Splunk, AppDynamics, Oracle, Snowflake, ServiceNow, and more. You can combine business data from MongoDB, logs from Splunk, infrastructure health metrics from Datadog, and software development insights from Jira in a single view in Grafana and identify root causes more quickly.
How to configure MongoDB with Grafana Cloud
It only takes a few clicks to set up MongoDB in Grafana Cloud. Then, in minutes, you can easily write MongoDB queries and create a Grafana dashboard with your MongoDB data.
For full implementation details and best practices, see the MongoDB configuration guide.
There’s supposed to be a video here, but for some reason there isn’t. Either we entered the id wrong (oops!), or Vimeo is down. If it’s the latter, we’d expect they’ll be back up and running soon. In the meantime, check out our blog!

Installing on a local Grafana:
For local instances, plugins are installed and updated via a simple CLI command. Plugins are not updated automatically, however you will be notified when updates are available right within your Grafana.
1. Install the Data Source
Use the grafana-cli tool to install MongoDB from the commandline:
grafana-cli plugins install The plugin will be installed into your grafana plugins directory; the default is /var/lib/grafana/plugins. More information on the cli tool.
Alternatively, you can manually download the .zip file for your architecture below and unpack it into your grafana plugins directory.

Next, click the Add data source button in the upper right. The data source will be available for selection in the Type select box.
To see a list of installed data sources, click the Plugins item in the main menu. Both core data sources and installed data sources will appear.
