Cannot import name Connection

[Alex85651]

Hi guys,
I had an error while trying to make this module work
Cannot import name Connection

This was caused by this import
try:
from pymongo.connection import Connection
except ImportError:
Connection = None

It appears that since the version 3.0 of pymongo, the module Connection does no longer exist and can now be found in the MongoClient package. So I decided to change the part of the code that no longer work.
try:
from pymongo import MongoClient as Connection
except ImportError:
Connection = None

It would be great to update this :)

Hey,
I got the same error. seems this packages is very outdated.

when making the change suggested above i get the following error:

Isn't this a duplicate of #8 ?

I think so. Could you try with master version of this module if you got an issue ?

master works for me, following these steps:

• shinken install retention-mongodb
• cloned this repo to /tmp
• copied /tmp/mod-retention-mongodb/module/* to /var/lib/shinken/modules/retention-mongodb/
• restarted shinken
