The MongoDB Plugin is intentionally conservative by default. Most performance comes from MongoDB Database Tools and from the Bacula Storage Daemon path.

Tuning parameters

Option	Required	Default	Values	Example	Description
stream_telemetry	No	no	yes or no	yes	Emit stream diagnostics such as bytes, duration, and throughput in job logs.

Operational Tuning Guidance

• Start with one Bacula job per MongoDB deployment.

• Avoid overlapping MongoDB backup jobs against the same source.

• Verify Storage Daemon throughput before assuming MongoDB is the bottleneck.

• Enable stream_telemetry=yes during performance investigations, then disable it for normal jobs if the extra log volume is not needed.

• For sharded clusters, schedule backups during a window where the balancer can remain stopped for the full operation.
