Overview

This section lists parameters supported in the MongoDB Zabbix agent 2 plugin configuration file (mongo.conf).

The MongoDB plugin is a loadable plugin and is available and fully described in the MongoDB plugin repository.

Pre-compiled plugin binaries for Windows are available since Zabbix 6.4.4 and are compatible with previous 6.4 versions.

Note that:

  • The default values reflect process defaults, not the values in the shipped configuration files;

  • Comments starting with "#" are only supported at the beginning of the line.
