How does eG Enterprise monitor MongoDB Cluster?

eG Enterprise uses a single eG external agent to monitor the target MongoDB Cluster. The external agent can be deployed on any remote host in the environment.

The eG agent connects to a database on the MongoDB cluster and runs built-in MongoDB API commands to pull the metrics of interest from across databases. To enable this connection, each test that the eG agent runs on the MongoDB cluster server should be configured with the name of a MongoDB database. To collect the required metrics from the target MongoDB cluster, certain pre-requisites should be fulfilled.
