How to connect MongoDB hosted on EC2 to Tableau










0















I have a EC2 instance setup, containing the manually installed mongodb free edition.



  1. A user has been added with username and password with readWrite access


  2. Changes made to /etc/mongod.conf



    a. Added bindIp: 0.0.0.0



    b. Added security:
    authorization: 'enabled'

    Currently, it's running on port: 27017



Now, I'm able to access mongodb the usual way but not through the Tableau software. I get this error message



An error occurred while communicating with MongoDB BI Connector.



The connection to the data source might have been lost.
[MySQL][ODBC 5.3(w) Driver]Lost connection to MySQL server at 'waiting for initial communication packet', system error: 10060
Unable to connect to the MongoDB BI Connector server "EC2 public IP". Check that the server is running and that you have access privileges to the requested database.


In the MongoDb BI Connector, I'm adding the following details to connect to my EC2 mongodb



Server: EC2 public IP



Port: 27017



User/pass: The one added in mongodb shell, username/password



Am I missing something? Why am I not able to connect?



My tableau is hosted on a different EC2 instance, not sure if that's the problem
