#### Permissions:
If your MongoDB instance has access control enabled you will need to connect
as a user with sufficient rights.
With MongoDB 3.4 and higher, the `clusterMonitor` role can be used. In
version 3.2 you may also need these additional permissions:
```
> db.grantRolesToUser("user", [{role: "read", actions: "find", db: "local"}])
```
If the user is missing required privileges you may see an error in the
Telegraf logs similar to:
```
Error in input [mongodb]: not authorized on admin to execute command { serverStatus: 1, recordStats: 0 }
```
