Hi,

I am using MongoDB with a replica set. When I am trying to create a metricbeat MongoDB module am not sure How to give a URL. I don't understand how to solve it. when uncommenting the ssl.verification\_mode: 'none' then getting "no reachable servers error". if you comment the ssl.verification\_mode: 'none' then getting saslcontinue.mechanism error.

metricbeat version: 7.11.1  
mongodb: 5.0

#ssl.verification\_mode: 'none'  
mongodb/mongodb.go:98 Error establishing direct connection to mongo node at [ip:27017]. Error output: server returned error on SASL authentication step: BSON field 'saslContinue.mechanism' is an unknown field.  
module/wrapper.go:259 Error fetching data for metricset mongodb.status: error creating new Session: server returned error on SASL authentication step: BSON field 'saslContinue.mechanism' is an unknown field.

ssl.verification\_mode: 'none':

"error": {  
"message": "error creating new Session: no reachable servers"  
},

Can you post your config file, please?

Also, can you try with a previous version of Mongodb? I don´t discard that Beats doesn´t support 5.0 yet.
