Database installation and management

Database installation

MongoDB is a document-oriented NoSQL database used for high volume data storage and used by OROS Monitoring. OROS Monitoring solution is compatible with MongoDB 6.0.x only. MongoDB can be installed on different platform, and following instructions explain how to install it on Windows or Linux system.

Installation on Windows system

a. Pre-requisites MongoDB support these Windows versions :

• Windows 10 et 11 64 bits
• Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2021 64bits

Download installation files:

• MongoDB: https://fastdl.mongodb.org/windows/mongodb-windows-x86_64-6.0.5-signed.msi
• Mongosh: https://github.com/mongodb-js/mongosh/releases/download/v1.8.0/mongosh-1.8.0-x64.msi

b. MongoDB installation

Execute mongodb-windows-x86_64-6.0.5-signed.msi and click on “Complete”:

Let default parameters filled:

Install

c. Configure MongoDB

Copy file Windows\mongod.cfg to MongoDB directory "C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\6.0\bin\mongod.cfg". It enables compression which is needed for Monitoring. If you want to secure the connection to MongoDB, allowing specific IP address or change port etc., you can edit this file. Documentation is available on official website: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/configuration-options/

d. MongoDB Shell installation

Run mongosh-1.8.0-x64.msi, uncheck “Install just for you” and continue installation.

Run mongosh.exe from "C:\Program Files\mongosh". A command window will popup asking MongoDB information, do not write anything and press Enter, connection should be done:

e. Create an admin user

In the shell windows type: use admin

Then the following command will create an administrator user for MongoDB, which is mandatory. You will be able to create standard ReadOnly or Write access user using Monitoring dedicated M-DBTools.

In this example the admin user created is named “oros” and his password is “oros”, please use a strong password for the admin user:

db.createUser({ user: "oros" , pwd: "oros", roles: ["userAdminAnyDatabase", "dbAdminAnyDatabase", "readWriteAnyDatabase"]})

Restart the computer, and now MongoDB is configured and ready to be used.

Installation on Linux system

Database management

MongoDB is the database engine, and at least one database needs to be created to be used by OROS Monitoring solution.

Run M-DBTools.exe, which is installed in M-Logger or M-View folder, and login:

• Server address: Your server address, localhost if database is installed on running PC
• Server port: 27017 (by default, other if you changed it in your MongoDB configuration file)
• User name: Defined in “Create an admin user” chapter
• Password: Defined in “Create an admin user” chapter

Please note that only administrators are allowed to run this tool, otherwise it will not connect to MongoDB.

Server information and databases list will be displayed once connected.

PC and Windows configuration

In order to guarantee a full autonomy, the computer must be configured to reboot in case of any power failure. The following PC parameters are advised:

PC automatic restart due to power failure:

To account for any potential power failure at the analyzers location the following settings should be programmed on the PC to automatically switch on the PC once the power is restored.

Access the PC's BIOS:

• Restart PC, press F12 (on most PC's) to access the PC's Bios.
• Check the Bios parameters.
• On power management check the option "power on AC".

Specific settings should be chosen in the computer

• PC

Contact you IT manager to properly configure the computer : disable low-power sleep mode, no password to automatically restart windows, no low-energy or powering-off option …). In addition, installation of Teamviewer is recommended in order to monitor from a remote access.

If you plan to monitor your application for more than a couple of hours, it is advised to power both the computer and the OROS analyzer by mains (not on battery).

Consider installing a remote access software.

It could be useful to control the computer when an alert is trigged for example.
