Deploying the collector on a VM

1. Get Authentication information from the MongoDB Atlas portal

   • Generate Programmatic API Keys with Project owner permissions using the instructions in the Atlas docs. Copy the Public Key and Private Key. These serve the same function as a username and API Key respectively. Note: If you want to use the AWS Lambda function for collection, do not Select Add Whitelist Entry.

   • Go to your project and then click on settings. Copy the project ID as shown below:

   • Go to your organization by using context drop down at the top. Then click on settings and copy the organization ID.

2. Add a Hosted Collector and one HTTP Logs and Metrics Source

   • To create a new Sumo Logic Hosted Collector, perform the steps in Configure a Hosted Collector.
   • Add an HTTP Logs and Metrics Source. Under Advanced you'll see options regarding timestamps and time zones and when you select Timestamp parsing specify the custom time stamp format as shown below:
     • Format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'
     • Timestamp locator: \"created\": (.*),.
   • Add another HTTP Source this time for metric
