MongoDB BI Connector

Connection Steps

To connect to MongoDB, the server must have the MongoDB BI Connector installed. For more details, refer to the MongoDB BI Connector Guide.

After installation, follow the steps below to add a MongoDB BI Connector connection.

1. On the Data Connections page, click "New Data Connection" in the upper right corner.

2. Select MongoDB BI Connector from the data source types.

3. Fill in the required parameters for the data source connection.

   Connection Configuration Information

   Field	Description
   Name	The name of the connection. Required and unique per user
   Host Address	The address of the database. If the URL field is filled, the URL takes precedence
   Port	The port of the database. If the URL field is filled, the URL takes precedence
   Username	The username for the database
   Password	The password for the database
   Database	The name of the database
   Max Connections	Maximum number of connections in the connection pool
   Authentication Database	The database where the user was created
   Prefer using database comment as dataset title	Prefer to display the table name or the table comment

   Query Timeout (seconds)	Default is 600. For large data volumes, you can increase the timeout
   Show only tables under specified database/schema	If selected and the database field is not empty, only tables under that DB are shown

4. After filling in the parameters, click the Validate button to get the validation result (this checks the connectivity between HENGSHI SENSE and the configured data connection; you cannot add the connection if validation fails).

5. After validation passes, click Execute Preset Code to bring up the preset code for this data source, then click the execute button.

6. Click the Add button to add the MongoDB BI Connector connection.

Please Note

1. Parameters marked with * are required; others are optional.
2. When connecting to a data source, you must execute the preset code. Failure to do so may result in certain functions being unavailable during data analysis. Additionally, when upgrading from a version prior to 4.4 to 4.4, you need to execute the preset code for existing data connections in the system.
