Hello,

I’m trying to monitor a mongoDB using the MongoDB Monitoring Template for Cacti but I don’t know where to enter the username and password for mongo. I’m already using the openvz template and everything works. I couldnt find anything in the install notes. In ss\_get\_by\_ssh.php there is nothing for mongo.

Any advices ?
