Hi Patrick,
Thanks for the Information.
In the link we didn't notice prerequisites for Mongo DB. As per your comments do we need READ ONLY permissions on the Server?
Can you please be specific on conf, I mean cong file name?
Regards,
Vinil.

the conf file is mongod.conf from the link I sent. Read should be fine. But if you already have access to server via SSH you should be fine.

Hello Hussain,
Many of those technologies will discover the instance out of the box but to get a list of the databases running on them you will need to do some customization. For example the Oracle one I did for a client a few years back but it's going to require some technical resources from your organizations to figure out which commands and scripts to run (I also did one for DB2). Often they will have a script already that can be run to return the data and then it's just a matter of you writing the probes/sensors needed to run the script and parse it.
