MongoDB lets you persist information between workflows and Gateway instances. The MongoDB settings let Gateway administrators and other users update email recipients without having to be a workflow developer

BlueCat Gateway supports Python Flask-PyMongo for use in custom workflows. MongoDB lets you persist information between workflows and Gateway instances. The MongoDB configuration page lets Gateway administrators and other users update MongoDB settings without having to be a workflow developer.

Note: By default, no built-in Gateway workflows make use of MongoDB settings. The only MongoDB actions that take place are those within a custom workflow.

To enter MongoDB configuration settings:

  1. Open the MongoDB configuration window. (Click Settings at the bottom of the navigator on the left, expand Configurations, then click MongoDB configuration.)

  2. Configure the MongoDB settings as desired.

    For more details, see MongoDB configuration settings list below

  3. When you're done, click Save changes.

    To cancel your changes, click Cancel instead.
