To begin using the MongoDB Monitoring Service:

• install the MMS Agent for UNIX/Linux, or install the MMS Agent for Windows, and
• deploy MMS in Production

Once you have set up the MongoDB Monitoring Service, you can:

• start monitoring hosts with MMS

Install the MMS Agent on UNIX/Linux

Requirements and Prerequisites

MMS has a series of prerequisite requirements. The following sections will guide you through the requirements and provide basic instructions for fulfilling them.

Basic MMS Requirements

• Your MongoDB instances (i.e. mongod and mongos) must be

• version 1.6 or newer.

• You must have Python 2.4 or greater.

  Note The MMS Agent does not provide support the PyPy implementation of Python.
  The MMS Agent does not support the Python 3.x series of Python.

• You’ll need Python’s setuptools.

  Most operating systems (i.e. distributions) package setuptools. For example, Debian and Ubuntu users can use the following command to install the package:

  sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
  

  For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) CentOS, or Fedora users, the the following command will install the package:

  sudo yum install python-setuptools
  

• If your system is running Python 2.4, you will need to install the

  following Python modules:

  • hmac
  • hashlib

  Issue the following command:

  Modules/shamodule.c:18:20: error: Python.h: No such file or directory

  sudo yum install python-devel sudo easy_install hmac hashlib

  Note The latest version of the agent includes no other Python module dependencies. If you’re installing version 1.4 of the agent (legacy) you will also need to install the simplejson module.

  sudo easy_install simplejson==2.1.0
  

  For users of Python 2.4, you will need to install simplejson version 2.1.0. Install this module with the following command:

  sudo easy_install simplejson
  

  Do not use pip to install modules when using Python 2.4 or 2.5, as there are some compatibility issues. Some users have reported problems installing hmac, if easy_install produces an error or you suspect a problem with these libraries see instructions for installing hmac manually.

• All users must install PyMongo, the Python driver for MongoDB.

  Use the latest possible version of PyMongo for the best possible speed and stability. The agent is not compatible with versions of PyMongo before 1.9. For instructions for installing PyMongo, see Installing PyMongo.

• If your datacenter requires that you proxy outbound connections through a gateway, you must use a version of Python greater than 2.6.1. Additionally, you will need export the "https_proxy" environment variable (or “HTTPS_PROXY” on Windows). For more information, see "Working with Proxies".

Install PyMongo

While the C extensions are not required for MMS, they significantly improve performance. To install these extensions, make sure you have a C compiler (e.g. gcc) and Python header files installed on your system. Debian and Ubuntu users should issue the following command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev

Red Hat, CentOS, and Fedora Users should issue the following command:

sudo yum install gcc python-devel

If you have not installed pymongo issue the following command to install the latest version:

sudo easy_install pymongo

To upgrade to the latest version of the driver, use the following command:

sudo easy_install -U pymongo

For more information concerning PyMongo installation, see the PyMongo documentation.
