I have a mongodb server running in a linux machine. I can connect to it using robomongo for instance. IN dreamfactory I configured a new service, but in the tab “Data” the service is not showing! After adding the service is it needed to configure something else?

What error is being logged in your DSP’s logs when the connection fails?
