MongoDB Charts
MongoDB Charts is a tool to generate visualizations from MongoDB data. It enables non-technical people to query a MongoDB database using a GUI and share the results with colleagues.
MongoDB Charts can create a series of charts, including the following:
- A column and bar chart reference
- A line and area chart reference
- Grid charts, such as the following:
- A heatmap reference
- A scatter chart reference
- A donut chart reference
- Text charts: Number chart reference
As with Ops Manager, it’s a standalone executable utilizing Docker that needs to be installed and managed on-premises.
Note
Use replica set secondaries for chart queries. Ideally, use a secondary, hidden, non-electable node as an analytics node in replica sets.
MongoDB Charts is a simple and powerful tool from MongoDB. MongoDB Compass is another tool used for querying and data analysis that we will discuss in the next section.
