I want to use metricbeat to monitor a mongodb(4.0) server with SCRAM-SHA-256

But the metricbeat service shows:  
Jul 31 09:45:55 Perf-7151 metricbeat[19520]: 2019-07-31T09:45:55.724+0800 ERROR mongodb/mongodb.go:98 Error establishing direct connection to mongo node at [localhost:27019]. Error output: server returned error on SASL authentication step: Authentication failed.  
Jul 31 09:45:55 Perf-7151 metricbeat[19520]: 2019-07-31T09:45:55.724+0800 INFO module/wrapper.go:244 Error fetching data for metricset mongodb.dbstats: error creating new Session: server returned error on SASL authentication step: Authentication failed.

Tried as fllowing:

1. hosts: ["localhost:27019"]  
username: admin  
password: admin
2. hosts: ["mongodb://admin:admin@localhost:27019/admin?authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-256"]
3. hosts: ["mongodb://admin:admin@localhost:27019/?authSource=admin?authMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-256"]
4. [https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/12867](https://github.com/elastic/beats/pull/12867)  
hosts: ["localhost:27019"]  
username: admin  
password: admin  
mechanism: SCRAM-SHA-256

None of them worked!

If there is an answer that what is the correct way to access mongodb server with SCRAM-SHA-256?  
Or does it supported?

# metricbeat version

Thanx,
