Hi,

I am trying to configure my netcoreapp3.1 version mvc application which uses mongodb as the database with elastic APM instrumentation with zero code changes .  
I am able to view the transactions but there are no stack traces available for the same. Not able to view the mongodb queries.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/c/dc677981cebbcb3cd3feb5d9ed31ecc5b5c0cac9.png)

I am using package reference AspNetCore.Identity.MongoDbCore as package reference in the application for mongodb.

Are there any specific configurations to capture mongodb queries.

Thanks in advance,  
Namita

Hi @Namita_Jaokar

the MongoDB instrumentation needs an additional manual step before it starts capturing calls. [Here is the documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/dotnet/current/setup-mongo-db.html#setup-mongo-db) which walks you through the steps needed.

Hi @GregKalapos ,

The documentation provided requires me to add the configuration for instrumenting mongodb in the code of the application.

Is there any way I can instrument mongodb without changes in the application as I am configuring my application using the zero code changes method of instrumentation with Elastic APM.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance,  
Namita

Unfortunately that's not supported at this point.
