Hello everybody, We are using Prefect Server 2.11.0, the open sourced version and not the cloud service. We would like to connect our local instance of Prefect to an external database like MongoDB service on Azure. However, from the documentation we could not find support for MongoDB, hence testing with PostGreSQL now. Please let us know if there are plans to support integration of Prefect with external databases like Mongo. T

You can run flows that store data in MongoDB or any other database. However, supporting a new data store for Prefect server’s metadata is a significant undertaking and we do not have current plans to support MongoDB for that purpose.

Hi jawnsy, Thanks for a quick response. Yes, we are referring to MongoDB support for Prefect Server metadata and not our custom metadata. We are already using MongoDB for our other custom services, so just to store Prefect Server metadata, we did not want to go via PostGreSQL route.
Further, can you please point me to the official product link that lists the databases supported?

Thanks jawnsy. Does Prefect metadata store record the below audit information for the activities done against flows and deployments? (1) the time and date of the event, (2) the application associated with the event, (3) the user or process initiating the event and, if applicable, the subject acted upon, (4) the remote IP address of the initiating user or process, (5) success or failure indication, (6) a detailed description of the event.
