Timeout to MLab

[SumNeuron]

I am trying to use MLab as a cloud solution for MongoObserver.

I created a free account and named my project sacred

I am now trying to add my MongoObserve but it always gives me a timeout.

From MLab:

mongodb://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<host-shard-0>:<port>,<host-shard-1>:<port>/test? ssl=true&replicaSet=<host-shard-0>&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true

so I have this:

db_url = 'mongodb://{user}:{password}@{server_specs}/{db}{extra}'.format(
    user="me",
    password=urllib.parse.quote('myFancyP@sswrd'),
    server_specs= (
        '<shard-0>.net:<port>,'
        '<shard-1>.net:<port>,'
        '<shard-2>.net:<port>'
    ), # mlab gives me a bunch of shards...
    db="test",
    extra = '' # '?ssl=true&replicaSet=<shard-0>&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true'
)

mo = MongoObserver.create(
    url=db_url,
    ssl=True,
    # replicaSet='<shard-0>',
    # authSource='admin',
    # retryWrites=True
)

ex.observers.append(mo)

but I always get timeout...

No idea about this shards thing. Maybe you can try MongoDB Atlas instead as they acquired Mlab anyway https://cloud.mongodb.com/.

@JarnoRFB I click that link and I am directed to the same place / project instance.

Then I click connect and get:

Copy the URI connection string:

mongodb://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<host-shard-0>:<port>,<host-shard-1>:<port>/test? ssl=true&replicaSet=<host-shard-0>&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true

or

mongodb+srv://<user>:<PASSWORD>@<host>/test?retryWrites=true

Have you tried: ex.observers.append(MongoObserver.create(url=mongourl, db_name='test')) You have to set the db_name in MongoObserver.create too, i guess. Works for me.

@Mastercorp

I've added db_name, I still get timeout

db_name = '<DB_NAME>'
mongourl = 'mongodb://{user}:{password}@{server_specs}/{db}{extra}'.format(
    user = "<USER>",
    password = urllib.parse.quote('<PASSWORD>'),
    server_specs= (
        '<HOST-SHARD-0>:<PORT>,'
        '<HOST-SHARD-1>:<PORT>,'
        '<HOST-SHARD-2>:<PORT>'
    ),
    db=db_name,
    extra = '?ssl=true&replicaSet=<HOST-SHARD-0>&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true'
)

mo = MongoObserver.create(
    url=mongourl,
    ssl=True,
    db_name=db_name,
    # replicaSet=<HOST-SHARD-0>,
    # authSource='admin',
    # retryWrites=True
)

ex.observers.append(mo)

@SumNeuron Maybe its a problem with your region? What region did you choose for your Cloud Provider? I am running on aws with Frankfurt ( eu-central-1, Free Tier ) Cluster Tier M0.

my setup looks like this: ( i named the db and HOST the same. )

mongourl = ("mongodb://USER:PASSWORD@sacred-shard-00-00-3fwam.mongodb.net:27017,"
            "sacred-shard-00-01-3fwam.mongodb.net:27017,sacred-shard-00-02-3fwam.mongodb.net:27017/sacred"
            "?ssl=true&replicaSet=sacred-shard-0&authSource=admin&retryWrites=true")
ex.observers.append(MongoObserver.create(url=mongourl,
                                         db_name='sacred'))

@SumNeuron
must be a problem with mlab. Your code works on my setup without any problems. Mabye try to change to AWS and Frankfurt.
