MongoDB

Document database — query collections with arcodash's editor.

Connection fields

Field	Required	Description
`host`	Yes	Hostname or IP address of the MongoDB server.
`port`	No	Defaults to 27017.
`user`	No	Username, if the server requires auth.
`password`	No	Password for user.
`db`	Yes	Database name to connect to.
`auth_source`	No	Database to authenticate against. Defaults to "admin".
`replica_set`	No	Replica set name, if connecting to a replica set.

MongoDB isn't SQL — the query editor expects a JSON document like {"collection": "orders", "filter": {}, "limit": 100}, or {"collection": "orders", "aggregate": [ ... pipeline stages ... ]} for an aggregation.

Example configuration

{
  "host": "mongo.internal.example.com",
  "port": 27017,
  "user": "arcodash_reader",
  "password": "••••••••",
  "db": "analytics",
  "auth_source": "admin"
}

Caveats

Query text must be valid JSON in the collection/filter (or collection/aggregate) shape above — plain MongoDB shell syntax (db.orders.find(...)) is not accepted.
Schema introspection samples one random document per collection (via $sample) to infer column names — a collection with inconsistent document shapes will only show the fields present in that one sampled document.
