Next, re-install Netdata +from the source, which detects that the required library is now available. + +## Configuration + +To enable data exporting to a MongoDB database, run `./edit-config exporting.conf` in the Netdata configuration +directory and set the following options: + +```conf +[mongodb:my_instance] + enabled = yes + destination = mongodb://<hostname> + database = your_database_name + collection = your_collection_name +``` + +You can find more information about the `destination` string URI format in the MongoDB +[documentation](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/) + +The default socket timeout depends on the exporting connector update interval. The timeout is 500 ms shorter than the +interval (but not less than 1000 ms). You can alter the timeout using the `sockettimeoutms` MongoDB URI option. + +[](<>) |
