AlteryxService MongoDB Schema

The AlteryxService MongoDB is the service-layer database for your Server instance. This article covers the AlteryxService MongoDB schema version 61, which corresponds to Server versions 2024.1. Servers using either embedded MongoDB or user-managed MongoDB use this schema.

As a Server admin, you might need to access the MongoDB schema for your Server instance for reporting and analysis. You can access the MongoDB schema using any compatible client. mongo Shell is a good tool for command-line access. MongoDB Compass is a good tool for GUI access. If you use MongoDB Atlas you can access the database documents via the Atlas web console.
