Hi all, following this post [Migrate configuration or Upgrade?](https://community.graylog.org/t/migrate-configuration-or-upgrade/7781/3)
i got a clear installation of Graylog 2.4
In order to migrate configuration from Graylog 2.0 to Graylog 2.4 i got stuck on migrate mongo Database.
**root@graylog:~# sudo mongodump -h 127.0.0.1 -d graylog -o /home/ubuntu**
**connected to: 127.0.0.1**
**Wed Dec 12 13:03:24.023 DATABASE: graylog to /home/ubuntu/graylog**
**root@graylog:~# ls /home/ubuntu/**
/home/ubuntu/ is empty (note that i try also using root user)
Also check mongodb vs mongodump version
Any ideas? thanks!

Hi again, in old graylog (v2.0 OVA)
I run this commands:
(WARNING: Insecure configuration, access control is not enabled .)
I don’t understand why i can’t see tables.
Same commands on the new graylog 2.4, mongodb v3.6.9 :
Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

I see that you connected without authenticating.
@jan, does the Graylog OVA not use an application account for Graylog in MongoDB?

Thanks for reply @Totally_Not_A_Robot, i think that too, but i get this message when i connect to mongodb:
“\*\* WARNING: Insecure configuration, access control is not enabled and no --bind\_ip has been specified.
Read and write access to data and configuration is unrestricted,
and the server listens on all available network interfaces.”
Still get no file with mongodump.
Thanks!

I’m not sure about that old version. Might be not implemented at that point.
@monchito sorry I’m not able to investigate in this, but I guess someone else is able to help you.

Of course 🙂 I don’t use `mongodump` in our environment, I use `mongoexport`…

Hi again, first: thanks so much for helping.
I exported content pack and mongodb (with mongoexport/mongoimport) it have to make 1 command per collection, here are the commands, maybe it is usefull for someone with the similar issues.
Collection from v2.4 (i can’t see on v2.0.3)
Collections:
alarmcallbackconfigurations
alarmcallbackhistory
alerts
cluster\_config
cluster\_events
collectors
content\_packs
grok\_patterns
index\_failures
index\_ranges
index\_sets
lut\_caches
lut\_data\_adapters
lut\_tables
nodes
notifications
pipeline\_processor\_pipelines
pipeline\_processor\_pipelines\_streams
pipeline\_processor\_rules
roles
sessions
streamrules
streams
system\_messages
traffic
users
Graylog Server 2.0.3:
mongoexport -d graylog -c **collectionName** -o /home/ubuntu/mongoExport/ **collectionName**.json
scp -r user@x.x.x.x:/home/ubuntu/mongoExport/ /home/user/mongoExport
Graylog Server 2.4:
mongoimport --drop -d graylog -c **collectionName** --file **collectionName**.json
Rapidly i found Alerts in the new server is empty, maybe is handler diferent i gonna check more granularity.
Thanks!
