I'm new to MongoDB and I'm having some problems with MongoDB recently.
I'm not sure about Connect with the MongoDB Shell, Connect your application, Connect using MongoDB Compass, what's the difference?
The current demand is. I want to directly allow connection from anywhere and create a user account password to log into this database, which option should I choose?

In Connect your application tab, you get a link that you need to copy
and paste in your application you are building to connect it to the
database. Remember to replace your password and databse name.
In Connect using MongoDB Compass tab, you get a link that you need
to paste in your compass application(A desktop application that
makes your mongodb data handling so much easier). And again remember to replace
your credentials.
I'm not very fond of Mongodb shell. It's actually an extensible
command-line interface.

I have an existing database for a discord bot in MongoDB Compass v1.28.1 I want to transfer all the data in the database to mongodb atlas because of its more extensive functionality and to not have to wait for compass to take ages to load each time I open it. However when I follow the steps to connect that are provided in Atlas, the pop-up that's supposed to appear when I copy a path to the clipboard doesn't appear, and nothing happens. I tried to connect through my app in VSCode, the same way I did for Compass, using mongoose. Still no collections are loading or any data being stored. I have made my schemas etc. which work perfectly fine in Compass...
Migration to Atlas is documented at https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/import/
To save you some reads, you have to options - export/import and mongodump/mongorestore.
I would recommend to try export/import first. It's built into Compass https://docs.mongodb.com/compass/current/import-export/ and must be simpler to use considering limited experience with mongo. It's UI oriented so just follow the click-through guide in the documentation.
Unfortunately it has some limitations related to data type conversion from BSON to JSON and may be a bit tedious if you have large number of collections.
In this case you will need to follow CLI mongodump/mongorestore way #barrypicker suggested in the comments. Both commands are available in cmd and PowerShell consoles.
First you backup your local database https://docs.mongodb.com/v4.2/reference/program/mongodump/:
mongodump --uri="mongodb://username:password#localhost:27017/discordbot"
username and password are the ones you use in compass to connect to the source database.
It will create dump directory with all collections you have.
Then you have to upload the backup to Atlas:
mongorestore --uri="mongodb+srv://username:password#cluster.tenant.mongodb.net/database" dump/
username and password are the ones you use to connect to atlas cluster, listed in the "Security/Database Access" section.
You can get the exact subdomains for the --uri part from Atlas. In the dashboard click "Connect" button for the cluster you want to connect to, then choose "shell" as the connection method in the connection pop-up:
I'm developing a Java Spring boot application with MongoDb database (MongoDB Atlas) and trying to generate reports from backend with Jasper reporting services. I have followed several tutorials to do that. But all of them show how to connect to a local database. Since I'm using MongoDB Atlas I'm wondering how to give Mongo URI while setting up the Data Adapter (See image)
If anyone knows a better approach to generate reports without using Japer reporting, please mention that as well. Thanks in advance!
You need to have mongodb atlas properly setup before you can connect to it.
First click on Database Access under Security in mongo atlas dashboard and create a new user
Then click on Network Access again under Security and whitelist your IP. The following image allows anyone to connect to the db
Finally, go to your cluster and click connect and you will be presented the following dialog. Copy the connection string from it and paste it into your jaspersoft connected interface.
Make sure you replace the <password> with the password of the user created above
That should work!
UPDATE: here is a screenshot of successful connection to jasperreport studio
Via shell, I can directly connect to mongo database with this string
mongo --ssl host1,host2:port/MyDataBase...
And I land directly on the MyDataBase.
Is there a similar way to do it in Compass? I get connected to whole server and I can see all the other databases. I just want to connect to MyDataBase.
I am using the lattest version of Compass, so it may differ from your current version.
It is important the you are in the network of the server, or use a VPN connection, otherwise, it does not work.
Step 1
Step 2
Please,let me know if that works!
I have an app deployed on digital ocean and am trying to perform a meteor reset to reset the DB etc. Where is meteor located when deployed via mup? I keep getting a command not recognized with meteor commands.
As far as I know you can't run meteor reset on deployed apps like that as it's already been built by MUP. The way you could mimic a meteor reset is to run the mongo shell on your digital ocean server:
mongo
You can check what the databases are by using:
show dbs
and then access the one meteor is running by doing:
use [db name]
and then manually drop the databases by using:
db.[collection name].drop()
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.collection.drop/
Meteor already has the user collection defined so you'd probably want to drop that collection too if you want a clean start
I've been running my application with a readOnly=false admin user for 6 months in development on MongoDB 2.2.2. We're getting closer to launch and I wanted to switch over the user that my application runs under to a user in the application's database only with readOnly=false.
I ran the following script from the robomongo as the admin user.
use MyDB
db.addUser("api", "MyPassword", {"readOnly": false});
I also updated the MongoDB connection string to the following.
<add key="DataServer" value="mongodb://api:MyPassword#localhost:27017/MyDB" />
It created my user correctly and I validated that it is in MyDB and is readOnly=false. However, when I use the MongoDB c# driver 1.8.1 it fails on any writes with a WriteConcernException unauthorized. I am able to read records just fine from the database. Looking at the MongoDB logs it is correctly logging into my DB from my c# application but failing on the write calls.
Using the robomongo shell I was able to successfully auth with the api user and write records into one of the collections in the application's DB. So it's leading me to believe that it's something to do with the c# driver. I've also debugged my application code and validated that the MongoClient's GetServer method is returning a MongoServer that has the correct credentials.
Here's the robomongo shell script I ran to validate the user is able to write to the DB.
use MyDB
db.auth("api","MyPassword");
db.Person.insert({"first_name":"Test","last_name":"User"});
db.Person.find({"first_name":"Test"});
Any help as to why the MongoDB c# 1.8.1 driver connecting to MongoDB 2.2.2 and not being able to write records in a user DB with a readOnly=false user would be greatly appreciated.
I can't really see much wrong with your code. I'd suggest trying the following:
Make sure you're reading the DataServer app setting correctly in your C# code (including the DB name)
Create the user in the admin database and see if that helps:
use admin
db.addUser("api", "MyPassword"); // readonly defaults to false
