Here is the content of /home/linux/jsreportapp/node_modules/jsreport-contrib-mongodb/lib/mongo.js

module.exports = function (reporter, definition) {
    if (reporter['scripts'].allowedModules !== '*') {
        reporter['scripts'].allowedModules.push({
            id : 'mongodb',
            path: require.resolve('mongodb')
        });
    }
};

Hi, the jsreport-contrib-mongodb is now deprecated.

Instead just install mongo client using

npm install mongodb --save

And allow using external modules in jsreport. This handy shortcut will allow all modules and also access to the file system.

{
  "httpPort": 5488,
  ...
  "allowLocalFileAcess": true
  ...
}

Thanks @jan_blaha I have removed jsreport-contrib-mongodb package and followed the guide you provided and I'm able to retrieve data from MongodDB.
