Connect MongoDB

Edit online

Connect your MongoDB account to Cloudability to ingest your cost and usage data.

Note:

After you connect to MongoDB, it takes 4 to 24 hours for your initial cost and usage data to appear in Cloudability. During this time, a message indicates that the process is not yet complete.

Note:

If you are purchasing MongoDB via a cloud provider marketplace and adding cost and usage data for MongoDB with this integration, you will see costs displayed twice in Cloudability reporting. As an example, if you purchased MongoDB via the AWS Marketplace, you will see:

  • The high-level line item for AWS
  • The line items with detailed MongoDB costs, with "AWS Marketplace" listed as Seller.

If you want to hid your marketplace costs, set up a filter. Marketplace costs are excluded from billing.

Before you start

  • You are a Cloudability administrator.
  • You have admin permissions in the MongoDB console.
