Hi! Mykola :

Can I ask you one more question ?

It is about the “pmm-admin add mongodb” command !!  
You know the default port of MongoDB is 27017, what if I am using other ports like 37017 …

Can pmm-admin monitor the port ? I did see the option of “–service-port” on the online help page, but I can NOT sure of the usage, I had tried to use it, but fail … it says uint16 for the service port … what does it mean by that ?

Never mind …

I found out the correct command …  
​​​​​​​  
It should be : sudo pmm-admin add mongodb --uri :

yes, you are right, is right option

pmm-admin starts [prometheus](https://prometheus.io) exporters like [node\_exporter](https://github.com/prometheus/node_exporter) or [mongodb\_exporter](https://github.com/dcu/mongodb_exporter) on 42000-42010 ports  
sometimes it is needed to specify exact port for exporter, in this case it is possible to use option.
