The write_mongodb plugin will send values to MongoDB, a schema-less NoSQL database.

Synopsis:

<Plugin "write_mongodb">
  <Node "default">
    Host "localhost"
    Port "27017"
    Timeout 1000
    StoreRates true
  </Node>
</Plugin>

The plugin can send values to multiple instances of MongoDB by specifying one Node block for each instance. Within the Node blocks, the following options are available:

Host Address
Hostname or address to connect to. Defaults to localhost.
Port Service
Service name or port number to connect to. Defaults to 27017.
Timeout Milliseconds
Set the timeout for each operation on MongoDB to Timeout milliseconds. Setting this option to zero means no timeout, which is the default.
StoreRates false|true
If set to true (the default), convert counter values to rates. If set to false counter values are stored as is, i.e. as an increasing integer number.
Database Database
User User
Password Password
Sets the information used when authenticating to a MongoDB database. The fields are optional (in which case no authentication is attempted), but if you want to use authentication all three fields must be set.
