NoSQL Custom Connection Profile & Host List

The NoSQL Data Collector requires a custom connection profile and host list.

Connection Profile​

The credential used for MongoDB Server auditing can be either an Active Directory account or a SQL account. Create a Connection Profile and set the following information on the User Credentials window.

Active Directory

For an Active Directory account, set the following on the User Credentials window:

  • Select Account Type – Active Directory Account

  • Domain – Drop-down menu with available trusted domains will appear. Either type the short domain name in the textbox or select a domain from the menu.

  • User name – Type the user name

  • Password Storage – Choose the option for credential password storage:

    • Application – Uses the configured Profile Security setting as selected at the Settings > Application node. See the Application topic for additional information.
    • CyberArk – Uses the CyberArk Enterprise Password Vault. See the CyberArk Integration topic for additional information. The password fields do not apply for CyberArk password storage.

  • Password – Type the password

  • Confirm – Re-type the password

SQL

For a SQL account, set the following on the User Credentials window:

  • Select Account Type – SQL Authentication
  • User name – Enter user name
  • Password Storage – Application (Uses the configured Profile Security setting as selected at the Settings > Application node. See the Application topic for additional information.)
  • Password – Type the password
  • Confirm – Re-type the password

See the Connection and Application topics for additional information.

Host List​

Jobs using the NoSQL Data Collector must create a host list with the servers containing the target databases. Setup the list of MongoDB hosts that needs to be monitored. Be sure to use a specific host name (if forcing the connection to a secondary host) or just the cluster name if connecting to the cluster. See the Host Management topic for additional information.

Additionally, the database clusters / instances must be added to the Filter page in the query configuration. See the NoSQL: Filter topic for additional information.
