MongoDB

The MongoDB resource allows tasks and runbooks to connect to a MongoDB database. For a high-level introduction to resources, see the resources page.

To create a new MongoDB resource, visit resources for your team, click the "New" button, and select the MongoDB resource type. Enter your connection details in the form:

Name should be a human-readable name for your resource. You'll use this name to later reference this resource in tasks.

Connection string should be the full connection string for your MongoDB database. This typically looks something like:

Copied
1
mongodb+srv://username@password:yourhost/yourDatabase

Be sure to include your username and password. The connection string is stored encrypted at rest and won't be displayed back to users.

If your database has restrictions on incoming network connections, you'll need to ensure the Airplane IP addresses are whitelisted:

You can use MongoDB resources with runbooks by adding a MongoDB block. You can run commands like find and insertMany directly from the runbook. See Integration blocks for details.

To connect to a database inside a private VPC, you can self-host the agent and run the agent within your own VPC. Since tasks and MongoDB commands run on agents, these tasks will run from within your network and be able to connect.
