Command line execution works normally, but systemd service execution reports "no such host" error
bugcommunitytriage
**Description**
When running `mongodb_exporter` directly via the command line, it connects to MongoDB successfully and exposes metrics (verifiable via `curl`). However, when starting the exporter as a `systemd` service with the same connection URI, it fails with a "no such host" error (the exporter incorrectly parses the host as `mongodb` instead of `127.0.0.1:27018`).
**Version Information**
- MongoDB version: 3.6.12
- mongodb_exporter version: v0.44.0 (linux-amd64)
- OS: Linux (RHEL/CentOS 7, systemd-based)
**Steps to Reproduce**
**1. Command line execution (WORKS):**
Execute the exporter directly in the terminal – it runs successfully and metrics are accessible via `curl http://localhost:9216/metrics`:
> [root@mongos1 mongodb_exporter-0.44.0.linux-amd64]# ./mongodb_exporter --mongodb.uri=mongodb://dbs_admin:mypwd@127.0.0.1:27018/admin?authSource=admin --collector.dbstats
**2. Systemd service configuration (FAIL):**
Create `/etc/systemd/system/mongodb_exporter.service`:
> [Unit]
Description=Prometheus MongoDB Exporter
Wants=network-online.target
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=mongodb_exporter
Group=mongodb_exporter
Type=simple
Restart=on-failure
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mongodb_exporter--collector.dbstats \

[Install]

**3. Start systemd service:**
> systemctl daemon-reload
> systemctl start mongodb_exporter.service
**Logs**
Full error log from `journalctl -u mongodb_exporter.service`:
> mongodb exporter: time="2025-12-03T16:47:30+08:00" level=error msg="Cannot connect to MongoDB: cannot connect to MongoDB: server selection error: server selection timeout, current topology: { Type: Single, Servers: [{ Addr: \"mongodb, Type: Unknown, Last error: dial tcp: lookup \"mongodb: no such host }, ] }"
