The Azure MongoDB integration collects platform metrics and diagnostic logs from your vCore-based Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB clusters. Once enabled, the SigNoz agent discovers MongoDB cluster resources in your monitored resource groups and configures telemetry collection.
This integration collects platform metrics for the Microsoft.DocumentDB/mongoClusters resource type — the vCore-based Azure DocumentDB offering with MongoDB compatibility. For RU-based Cosmos DB accounts (including the MongoDB RU API), use the separate Azure Cosmos DB integration.
Getting started
Connect your Azure subscription first. See Azure One-Click Integrations for setup instructions.
Once connected:
- In SigNoz, navigate to Integrations > Microsoft Azure.
- Select MongoDB (DocumentDB) from the left panel.
- Toggle Log Collection and Metric Collection on.
The agent deploys the necessary Event Hubs and diagnostic settings in the background. Data starts flowing within a few minutes. Navigate to Dashboards and open the Azure MongoDB (DocumentDB) Overview dashboard to confirm metrics are appearing.

Dashboards
The integration includes a pre-built Azure MongoDB (DocumentDB) dashboard. Pre-built dashboards are locked and cannot be edited. To customize, use Export JSON from the dashboard menu and import it as a new dashboard.
Key panels include:
- CPU percentage and memory percentage (including committed memory)
- Storage percentage and storage used
- Autoscale utilization percentage
- IOPS
- Network bytes ingress and egress
- Mongo request duration
Next steps
- Create alerts to get notified on CPU/memory saturation, storage exhaustion, or slow request durations
- Build custom dashboards to correlate database metrics with application performance
