I am trying to index mongodb data into splunk,

The Hunk App for MongoDB seems to be an obsolete. Is there a best way to import mongodb data into splunk? similar to the input function of db_connect? Because I don't just import it once, when mongodb has new data, I hope it can be automatically indexed to splunk

I refer to the following documentation, but when I connect to the mongodb database that requires authentication, it prompts an error.not authorized for query on xunfeng._schema. I am sure I have created an identity XunfengMongodb.

splunk version: 7.2.3
db connect version 3.1.3

thank you for your reply

I have download mongodb_unityjdbc_full.jar and copy the jar in the directory$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers and add following data in the db_connection_types.conf file

[mongodb]
displayName = MongoDB
serviceClass = com.splunk.dbx2.DefaultDBX2JDBC
jdbcDriverClass = mongodb.jdbc.MongoDriver
jdbcUrlFormat = jdbc:mongo://host:port/database
port = 27017
ui_default_catalog = $database$

but is not working.

Customizing the API seems to be a complicated thing, and I don't want to spend too much time.

I believe DB connect 3 can connect to mongodb, and I suspect my JDBC URI configuration is error
