How do I connect Knowi to DocumentDB?

To connect to DocumentDB, you will need to configure an SSH tunnel and use our Mongo Datasource option.

First, follow these instructions to get your SSH tunnel set up: https://www.knowi.com/docs/ssh-tunnel.html

Next, navigate to Knowi and create a new datasource.

1. Select MongoDB as your datasource (not MongoDB Atlas).

2. Enter in your host connection string, port (usually 27017), database name, username, and password.

3. Enter the following string for your database properties:

ssl=true&sslTrustAll=true&readPreference=secondaryPreferred&retryWrites=false

4. Check off the SSH Tunnel checkbox, and enter your SSH tunnel server information in the following format:

cloud9@<SSH Tunnel Host>[:<SSH Tunnel Port>]

5. Test your connection to ensure we have a valid connection, and save your datasource.
