Good fellows. I have configured the monitoring to mondodb ( [MongoDB monitoring with Netdata | Learn Netdata](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/python.d.plugin/mongodb) )  
But it doesn’t work, I get this error:

My configuration file is this: ( default).  
local:  
name : ‘local’  
authdb: ‘admin’  
host : '127.0.0.1  
port : 27017  
user : 'netdata  
pass : ‘netdata’

Do you think it is because I don’t have the python-pymongo package v2.4+ installed? If I have it dockerized, how do I activate the python-pymongo package v2.4+?

Thank you very much!!!

Hello @Juanjotravelc

Could you please focus your efforts on the go.d.plugin’s MongoDB module? [MongoDB monitoring with Netdata | Learn Netdata](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/go.d.plugin/modules/mongodb)

This is supposed to work smoothly in a container. Make sure you first have disabled the MongoDB module in the `python.d.conf`

Please follow the section in our docs that I mentioned above and let us know!

Tasos.

Thanks, it actually worked for me with the procedure [MongoDB monitoring with Netdata | Learn Netdata](https://learn.netdata.cloud/docs/agent/collectors/go.d.plugin/modules/mongodb)

I did not need to enable mongodb in the python.d.conf module  
Thanks again!
