Description

Integration component to interact with MongoDB databases.

Note: The component works with the MongoDB versions 2.6 and above.

Credentials

1. URL - URL used to connect with Mongo DB. Example: mongodb://example.com:2017, mongodb+srv://server.example.com:2017.
2. User - user for connection to Mongo DB.
3. Password - password for user to connect with Mongo DB.
4. Authentication Database - database that used for authentication user. Default: admin. If you connect to your database via the mongo shell with a command of the form mongo mongodb://example.com/myDatabase -u myUser -p myPassword then you should place myDatabase in this field. If you connect to your database via the mongo shell with a command of the form mongo mongodb://example.com/ -u myUser -p myPassword then you should leave this field blank.
5. MongoDB version - version of the MongoDB. One of options:
   • 4.4 and lower (Default) - Node.JS MongoDB driver version 3.5.9 will be used
   • 5.0 and higher - Node.JS MongoDB driver version 6.2.0 will be used

Environment Variables

The component has no required variables, however in some cases it would be beneficiary to use them. Here are the available variables:

1. MONGO_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT - timeout in ms for connection to MongoDB. Default is 10000.
2. EIO_REQUIRED_RAM_MB - Number of RAM megabytes provided to container. Additional memory may be needed in cases when incoming message is big (up to 10MB)

Triggers

This component has no trigger functions. This means it will not be accessible to select as a first component during the integration flow design.

Limitations

• Not supported authentication mechanisms: LDAP, Kerberos (GSSAPI) and X.509
