Charts

MongoDB Charts is the best way to create visualizations of MongoDB data. Connect to any MongoDB instance as a data source, create charts and graphs, embed them into your applications or build live dashboards for sharing and collaboration.

  1. Chart Import should appear when there are no dashboards

    Currently, if there are no dashboards on the /dashboards page (e.g. https://charts.mongodb.com/charts-xxxxxxx/dashboards), the only option is to add a new dashboard. See 1addDash.png attached.

    If there is an existing dashboard, there is the same "Add Dashboard" button, and there's also a pull-down menu to import a chart. See 3importdashboard.png

    My use case for importing is for folks new to MongoDB and/or Charts. I'd like to be able to import a dashboard without having an existing dashboard.

    (My current workaround is a tutorial showing how to make a dashboard, exit, then import).

    Thanks for the suggestion - we've actually already started work on this. We'll also move the "create sample dashboard" to the same place, and allow you to invoke it whether or not you have existing dashboards.

  2. Interactive Graph Visualization in Charts

    MongoDB advertises that it can be used as a graph database. Sample article https://www.mongodb.com/databases/mongodb-graph-database

    The power of a graph database is in it's interactivity and visualization. There are many visualization tools from native graph database software such as Neo4j Browser or Neo4j Bloom. While MongoDB may be able to store graph database content, the missing link is the ability to visualize and interact with graph data. Requesting for Charts to add Graph chart types that can be used by developers and for end users to consume.

  3. Suggestions on indexes

    I would to be able to see the queries targeting different data sources and even better would be to get suggestions based on data source of indexes that could improve the performance of charts. Since the people managing the data itself in our case won't create the graphs this would help.

  4. data source collection not shown if name is long

    If there are multiple collections with identical prefixes longer than 20 or so characters, it's not possible to tell them apart, making it impossible to see the data source collection

  5. Moving Bubble charts

    I'd like to see the ability within MongoDB charts to have moving bubble charts as my data is updated. Similar to https://flowingdata.com/2019/03/26/relationship-stages/

  6. Ability to customize label data

    When hovering over a data marker, I can see a box showing the X, Y values as well as the series. It would be quite useful to be able to include additional fields from the data source in that popup. In our case, we're plotting performance data for different commits, and while we do have the commit sha and can manually lookup information about the commit, it would be great to just have the commit message, author, and date at a glance in the charts.

  7. Hide the Help Bubble Icon

    Option to hide or minimize help bubble icon.

    It is too big and blocks view when editing charts. Really annoying.

    Especially the case when trying to resize charts. The Bubble blocks the resize selector

  8. Import single charts in existing dashboards

    As we can now export dashboards as code, it could be great and very usefull to have the option of import a single chart (or some) into an existing dashboard.

  10. Allow to process totals

    Allow the charts to do calculations on the totals, say we fields: [currentAmount, renewedAmount]
    And the chart shows as totals [1000, 800]

    Then it should allow to show it as .80 (or 80% with formatting), at least in a Text, Number Chart.

    Keep in mind, since so far what I've researched we can only do calculations on each field then it would not be possible to add ratios per document.

  11. Data processing in the same cluster region

    Currently any data visible through the Charts UI is routed through AWS US East.

    For customers inside the European Union it could be problematic to transfer the data to the US due to GDPR and data protection laws. Especially when dealing with sensitive user data.

    Data processing in the same cluster region would be a huge improvement to Charts.

  13. Re-zero bar chart after clicking legend item on stacked bar chart

    Being able to highlight an individual series by clicking on its name in the legend great! Having an option to allow it to display as an ordinary bar chart so the relative heights within that series can be compared would be even better.

  14. Expose MongoDB Logs as a Data Source to Charts

    I'd like to be able to chart some of the metrics from the logs into Charts. This will allow me to have one central place to see all the relevant data I want to chart.

  15. Locale formatting

    In the tab 'Customize' you can (de-)activate the thousands separators,
    The visual representation is in english locale, e.g. 1,000.00

    I would like to be able to change this to another locale. For german locale the number formatting should be 1.000,00

  17. On Heatmaps can we have a logarithmic option on the Intensity 'axis' please?

    On Heatmaps can we have a logarithmic option on the Intensity 'axis' please? I have heatmaps with a few very large counts that effectively cause the variation in the majority of smaller numbers to be obscured in the intensity representation. A logarithmic option would allow the smaller numbers to show more clearly. (It is hard to do this in the data source, as the count is being performed at chart level.)

  18. Anonymous link with password

    Hi, It would be super nice to be able to create a shareable, anonymous link to any dashboard (like what is possible now), but with the added security of a password. Simply so that you can share dashboards with others by sending a link and password separately for some basic security, but without creating actual users.

  19. Number Formatting

    When we use a chart type column - grouped option, in Y-Axis we are showing different data types (amounts and numbers). We cannot use the custom number formatting because it applies in both of data types. We would like to have the ability to apply custom number formatting to each columns.

  20. Filter view issue

    When adding more than 1 filter, the filters overlap. Viewing and using them becomes impossible. It should be a simple fix on your side (maybe just css)
