An "exporter" doesn't really make sense here, because an exporter only returns the value at the current instance in time.
Your options would be: 1. Use the remote read <https://prometheus.io/docs/prometheus/latest/storage/#remote-storage-integrations> protocol to access data which is stored in MongoDB. However, I don't see any existing MongoDB integration <https://prometheus.io/docs/operating/integrations/#remote-endpoints-and-storage>. In any case it would need to understand your Mongo schema to know how timeseries are stored. 2. Scrape the data into prometheus at the same time as you write it into MongoDB (that is, expose the current value in an exporter, and let prometheus scrape it) 3. Use the remote write protocol to write into Prometheus at the same time as you write into MongoDB, perhaps using something like vector.dev The problem with (2) and (3) is that you're not actually querying the data which is stored in MongoDB at all; you're storing a *copy* of it in Prometheus. It sounds to me like Prometheus is the wrong tool for the job here. Either you should be using a grafana datasource which queries MongoDB directly <https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/grafana-mongodb-datasource/> (which I think is perfectly feasible), or you should use a different dashboard tool (e.g. redash <https://redash.io/>).
