ActiveGate to monitor MongoDB on Kubernetes

[tsagredo]

Hello everyone, I need help with the following case.

I have a Mongo DB in Kubernetes that I want to integrate with the MongoDB extension (local or remote monitoring). In order to monitor these components I must do it through the activegate.

The question is where should I install the activegate, will it be within Kubernetes or just in the environment.

Hi @tsagredo , 
The ActiveGate will need to be an environment ActiveGate that has the Extensions 2.0 module enabled, meaning it cannot be containerized. This also means that the MongoDB will be to be externally available from the K8s cluster.

You can deploy ActiveGate and remote to your MongoDB in K8S cluster
