The MongoDB collector harvests metadata from the MongoDB instance (cluster), databases, collections, indexes, search indexes, and document fields. It also supports harvesting of nested fields for the Document/Object field types.
The collector captures relationship information between instances (clusters), databases, collections, document fields, search indexes, and indexes.
