How can we read from a mongoDB table?

Can we read from a mongoDB table? We need to do it from within Splunk - is it possible? Preferably it should end up in a lookup.

@ddrillic have you tried the driver from the following post for DB Connect 3?

Documentation for unsupported JDBC Drivers: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/latest/DeployDBX/Installdatabasedrivers#Add_the_custom_dat...

Other option would be to use your own custom REST TA as called out in the following answer: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/616324/ways-to-index-mongodb-data-in-splunk.html
