MongoDB Resource
The MongoDB Resource makes it easy to pull data out of a MongoDB instance and display or process it within Dynaboard.
Configuration Steps
- Find the connection parameters or the connection string for your database.
- Connection strings follow the format protocol://username:password@hostname:port/databaseName?[options]
 
- Connection strings follow the format 
- Fill in the required connection information in the resource properties panel.
- Secret fields (e.g. passwords or certificates) require clicking the ✓ to the right of the field to save the input.
 
- It's recommended to always enable SSL.
- If your database is behind a firewall (very common), you'll need to allow Dynaboard's outbound IP address (opens in a new tab).
- Click "Test Connection" at the bottom of the panel to verify everything works!
Common Configuration Errors
- If the connection errors after a while, you may not have configured the firewall rules properly.
- A secret may be unsaved (e.g. passwords or certificates). Click the ✓ to the right of the field to save it. The text will disappear after a successful save.
- We don't currently support X.509 certificates for authentication.
- We don't currently support CA certificates during authentication.
