On this Page
This account is used by the Snaps in the MongoDB Snap Pack.
Account Configuration
In SnapLogic, you can create accounts either for projects or in shared folders.
To create a MongoDB account:
Click on the project or shared folder for which you want to create the account. This displays a page that displays all the resources associated with the project or folder.
Click Create > MongoDB, and then choose the MongoDB Account you want to create.
Select MongoDB Account to connect to a single node.
Select Replica Set Account to connect to replica sets for operations. For more information on replication in MongoDB, see the Replication page in MongoDB documentation.
Supply a Label for the account.
Supply the necessary information for the appropriate account type:
MongoDB Account
Replica Set Account
MongoDB Dynamic Account
Replica Set Dynamic Account
For detailed guidance on setting up each of these accounts, see the Account Types section below.
Supply additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab.
Account Types
MongoDB Account
Label
| Required. User provided label for the account instance. Default value: [None] | |
|---|---|---|
Use SRV hostname | Select this checkbox to enable SRV connection via the hostname.
| |
Hostname | Required. Specify the MongoDB hostname. Default value: [None] | |
Port | Required. Specify the MongoDB port. Port number is optional if you select the Use SRV hostname checkbox.
| |
MongoDB JARs | Use this field to configure the MongoDB JARs. | |
MongoDB JARs | Specify or upload the MongoDB JAR file.
| |
Database name
| The database that the MongoDB account is defined in. This is also the default database used for queries. Ensure to provide the database name when selecting the TLS/SSL option in the Encryption type property. Default value: [None] | |
Username
| Required. The MongoDB Username. Default value: [None] | |
Password
| Required. The password associated with the MongoDB Username. Default value: [None] | |
Authentication type
| Required. The authentication type that you want to use with this account. The options available are:
| |
Encryption type
| Required. The encryption type for connecting Mongo instance. The options available are None, TLS/SSL and SSL certs If None is selected, data is not encrypted. If TLS/SSL is selected, data is encrypted without certificate validation. Ensure to provide the database name in the Database name property to validate the user against that particular database name. If SSL certs is Selected, the data is encrypted ensuring the certificate validation. Default value: None | |
SSL certs properties | Conditional. Configure the keystore and truststore properties only when the encryption type is selected as "SSL certs". This ensures the validation of the certificate. | |
Truststore filepath | The location of the trust store file in PKCS#12 format, can be in SLDB or any other unauthenticated endpoint such as https://...
| |
Truststore password | Truststorepassword to access the truststore file of the server. | |
Keystore filepath | The location of the key store file in PKCS#12 format, can be in SLDB or any other unauthenticated endpoint such as https://...
| |
Keystore file password | Keystore password to access the keystore file of the client. | |
Connection properties | Configure the connection properties to specify connection and server selection timeouts. | |
Connection timeout (seconds) | The number of seconds the Mongo driver waits before aborting a new connection attempt. A value of 0 seconds specifies an infinite timeout. Default value: 10 | |
Server Selection timeout (seconds) | The number of seconds the Mongo driver waits to select a server for an operation before aborting the selection. For example, if you set the Server Selection timeout to 30 seconds, and the Snap fails to find a server until 30 seconds, the pipeline logs an error and aborts execution. A value of 0 seconds specifies an infinite timeout. Default value: 30 | |
MongoDB cursor properties | Use this field set to configure the MongoDB cursor timeout properties. | |
Use Cursor Timeout | Select this checkbox to set a timeout for idle cursors, which means, it enables the server to close a cursor automatically after a period of inactivity. This option allows you to connect to Atlas Free Tier database and Shared Clusters using the MongoDB accounts. Refer to Atlas Free Tier limitations for more information. For all the existing Mongo DB accounts, the Use Cursor Timeout check box is deselected by default. Default value: Not Selected | |
