This page provides instructions for configuring log and metric collection for the Sumo Logic App for MongoDB.

Collection Process Overview

Configuring log and metric collection for the MongoDB App includes the following tasks:

Step 1: Configure Fields in Sumo Logic

Create the following Fields in Sumo Logic prior to configuring collection. This ensures that your logs and metrics are tagged with relevant metadata, which is required by the app dashboards. For information on setting up fields, see the Fields help page.

If you are using MongoDB in a non-Kubernetes environment create the fields:

  • component
  • environment
  • db_system
  • db_cluster

If you are using MongoDB in a Kubernetes environment create the fields:

  • pod_labels_component
  • pod_labels_environment
  • pod_labels_db_system
  • pod_labels_db_cluster
