Hey @Maksym_Postument, what version of Metricbeat are you using?

I was looking to the code and found that there may be a regression in 8.3 for these cases where multiple hosts are configured. I have opened an issue for investigation: [MongoDB metricsets incorrectly handling multiple hosts · Issue #32188 · elastic/beats · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/32188)

Were you upgrading from a previous version of Metricbeat? Did it work for you then?

Ok, this would confirm that this is a regression in 8.3. Thanks!
