Analyzing MongoDB data in Spotfire®

Connect to MongoDB using Spotfire's MySQL connector

Your MongoDB Enterprise, 3.2 or later, license includes the MongoDB Connector for BI.

This connector allows you to define a relational table on top of your MongoDB data and expose it as a MySQL-compatible data source.

To get started with the MongoDB Connector for BI please see its web page here.

Running the MongoDB Connector for BI as a service

The MongoDB Connector for BI runs as an application process. To allow it to run as a service process and thus serve multiple users and allow it to, for example, restart automatically on failure, you can wrap it in a service manager like NSSM (Non-Sucking Service Manager).

Using Spotfire's MySQL connector

Once you have configured the MongoDB Connector for BI, see Spotfire's documentation on how to use the Oracle MySQL connector here.
