Thank you so much I have considered the grafana data source option but I found a plugin for mongoDb which is available only in enterprise grafana
So do you suggest me to create a data source for mongoDB in grafana ? And regarding 2 and 3 - since we use python - Is prometheus-python client API useful to directly write to prometheus ?
