What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

Currently, in MongoDB Charts, it’s not possible to automatically generate and export charts for each day’s data. We have to manually run the chart for each day, which is time-consuming. Additionally, due to data volume and performance constraints, we can’t load all daily run data into a single collection and then convert it into a PDF.

This makes it difficult to automate daily reporting and share summarized visual reports efficiently.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

I would like MongoDB Charts to support automated or scheduled generation of daily reports, allowing charts to refresh and export data for each day without manual execution.

Additionally, it would be very useful to have a built-in export option that can directly convert chart data or dashboards into PDF or other report formats, making it easier to share and archive daily summaries.

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

Our team relies on MongoDB Charts for daily operational and performance reporting. Since the reports need to be generated for each day, running charts manually and exporting data individually is time-consuming and inefficient.

Automating this process would save significant time, reduce manual errors, and ensure consistent daily reporting. It would also help us easily share visual summaries with management and stakeholders, improving overall productivity and decision-making.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

Our team currently retrieves data based on specific input parameters, then manually formats the data to make it suitable for display. After that, we convert the formatted output into a PDF file, which is used for our daily reporting purposes.

While this process works, it involves multiple manual steps and could be greatly improved through automation and direct export capabilities in MongoDB Charts.
