Description
## Feature Request
Opening a feature request kicks off a discussion.
### Proposal:
For collecting user specific metrics it's very usfull call user defined function in MondoDb
### Current behavior:
For Now, MongoDb plugin can not call user function;
### Desired behavior:
For example, like in redis plugin realized it:
```
## Optional. Specify redis commands to retrieve values
# [[inputs.redis.commands]]
# # The command to run where each argument is a separate element
# command = ["get", "sample-key"]
# # The field to store the result in
# field = "sample-key-value"
# # The type of the result
# # Can be "string", "integer", or "float"
# type = "string"
```
### Use case:
1. To get different metrics (which not realized in base mongodb plugin ) based on rs.status()
2. To get business metrics based on user's collection data.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the existing MongoDB plugin and the Redis plugin's command support, which the issue uses as its example. Clarify the configuration and metric behavior needed for user-defined MongoDB functions, including rs.status() and collection-based business metrics; done means the requested metrics can be collected through the plugin.
