Metricbeat version: 8.3.1  
MongoDB version: 6.0.4

My metricbeat config is as follows:

```auto

I am getting following errors in metricbeat logs:

```auto

@Usama_Tariq - Have you tried setting the user privileges mentioned [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/metricbeat/current/metricbeat-module-mongodb.html#_mongodb_privileges)?

@Usama_Tariq Can you try something like this in the host config

```auto
  hosts:
  - localhost:8810/?authSource=admin

```
