How can I use mongoimport on a python container to upload a file to a mongodb on another container

I am looking into how to use mongoimport on my container running a python program to send a file on that python container over to another container on the same docker network.Currently I am using the following command to try to do this:

mongoimport --host mongo --port 27017 --db vulns --collection qualys-kb --file kb.json --jsonArray

In the above command, I am trying to connect to the container called mongo, which is on the same docker network as the container that is running this command. mongo is currently running mongodb and is accessible through the standard 27017 port. Yet when I try to run the above command I get the following error:

2023-09-21T12:39:09.184+0000    error connecting to host: failed to connect to mongodb://mongo:27017/: server selection error: server selection timeout, current topology: { Type: Single, Servers: [{ Addr: mongo:27017, Type: Unknown, Last error: connection() error occurred during connection handshake: dial tcp: lookup mongo on 192.168.1.1:53: no such host }, ] }

Can anyone offer any advice on how to get this working so that I can reference the mongo container by name in the mongoimport command. If there is a different approach to do the same thing I would be open to that too.
