How to access to Mongo KV Store from Mongo client?

[dsmc_adv]

Hi all,

I'm using icinga to monitor my servers and I would like to use the mongo plugin to monitor the kv store. The problem is that it is password protected and I cannot query with admin privileges. Is the password known?

Disclaimer: This is VERY VERY VERY unsupported.

I know this is old but it popped up and, in case other people want to know, I thought I'd share. The mongodb instance used by Splunk for kvstore requires client SSL to authenticate. If you have the mongodb client installed on the syste, you can authenticate as such:

mongo --sslAllowInvalidCertificates --ssl localhost:8191/local --username __system --password $(cat $SPLUNK_HOME/var/lib/splunk/kvstore/mongo/splunk.key)
