If you have a mongodb database that you wish to document, a good
starting point might be to install mongodoc and use the mongodoc
command::

    % mongodoc test

After answering a few questions, you will get an output file that
will look something like this::

The document in the people collection has a sub-document for
the value of the address field, so it appears as a box within
the people diagram. You will get one of these diagrams for each
collection in the db.  MongoDoc found that there is a probable
link between the _id of occupations and the occupation field
of the people doc.  If the find links feature is not working
for you, you can disable it with the --find-links option

The mongodoc command has a few options for connecting to the db::

    % mongodoc -h
    usage: mongodoc [-h] [--port PORT] [--host HOST] [--username USERNAME]
                  [--password PASSWORD] [--file FILE]
                  name

    Document a mongo db

    positional arguments:
      name                 The name of the mongo db to document

    optional arguments:
      -h, --help           show this help message and exit
      --port PORT          The db port number
      --host HOST          The db host
      --username USERNAME  The username for authenticating to the db
      --password PASSWORD  The password for authenticating to the db
      --file FILE          The name of the output file
      --find-links         Enter no if you don't want to find links.
