Know the basics of installing and configuring the Database

Database Setup for Supported Platforms

Hygieia uses MongoDB (version 3.0 and above) as the database for storage and retrieval of data. It is recommended to download any MongoDB GUI client (for example, Robo 3T) to create the database dashboard and successfully connect to it.

Download and Install Instructions

If you do not already have MongoDB installed, download the Installation Package from MongoDB download page and follow the installation instructions in the MongoDB manual.

Configuration Steps

Follow the configuration steps to run Hygieia in your MongoDB installation.

  • Step 1: Create Data Directory

    • Create a data directory on the drive from which you start MongoDB to store your data files.

    For example, create the data directory in the following path:

    C:\Users\[usernname]\dev\data\db
  • Step 2: Change Directory

    • Change the current working directory to the bin directory of your MongoDB installation.

    In the command prompt, run th following command:

    cd C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin
  • Step 3: Start MongoDB

    • Specify the path to use as data directory:

    mongod --dbpath [path to the data directory]

    Execute the following commands to start MongoDB, switch to db dashbaord, and then add dashboard user:

    #Start mongo

Command: > mongo
Output:  MongoDB shell version: 3.2
		 connecting to: test
			
#Switch to db dashboard

Command: > use dashboarddb
Output:  switched to db dashboard

#Create db user

Command: > db.createUser(
			{
			  user: "dashboarduser",
			  pwd: "dbpassword",
			  roles: [
			  {role: "readWrite", db: "dashboarddb"}
			  ]
			})
			
Output:  Successfully added user: {
         "user" : "dashboarduser",
         "roles" : [
		  {
			"role" : "readWrite",
			"db" : "dashboarddb"
		  }
