Now to connect to mongo I initially thought that I needed to set include the username and password in the username above inside the GRAYLOG_DATANODE_MONGODB_URI and GRAYLOG_MONGODB_URI, and I did it like so:

Not too sure where to go from here, so any direction would be amazing.

Thanks

Hello @mromeo,

What if you try using the hostname of mongo container for the options GRAYLOG_MONGODB_URI and GRAYLOG_DATANODE_MONGODB_URI?

mongodb://test:test@mongodb:27017/graylog"
