# Mongodb Reader Lite

This page covers the configuration steps for the Mongo DB Reader.All component configurations are classified broadly into the following sections:

* ​[Basic ](https://docs.bdb.ai/7.6/data-pipeline/components/component-base-configuration)​
* Metadata
* ​[Resource Configuration](https://docs.bdb.ai/7.6/data-pipeline/components/resource-configuration)​
* ​[Connection Validation](https://docs.bdb.ai/7.6/data-pipeline/components/connection-validation)​

MongoDB Reader reads data from the specified database’s Collection. It also has an option to filter the data using Mongo Query Language(MQL), Which will run the MQL directly on the MongoDB Server, and push the data to the out event.
