mongodb version 3.0.0 client robomongo mongovue - mongodb

We are using mongo client tools such as Robomongo and MongoVUE from our windows/mac machines. On the mongodb server side, we decided to try out the new MongoDB 3.0.0rc8 with wiredtiger storage. However, we find that we are not able to list any collections from our client tools and mongo shell. If we login to the server box running mongodb, and then start a mongo shell, then we are able to view the collections.
Is this a known problem - that the existing tools like Robomongo and MongoVUE which have been supporting up to 2.6.X are not yet supporting mongodb 3.0.0?
Is there any mongo client that supports version 3.0.0?
Thanks and Regards,

We encountered the same issue today and started evaluating MongoChef http://3t.io/mongochef which looks promising, both seen to UI, features and support for WiredTiger.

Here is the answer to this question i got on google forums from Will Berkeley-
Yes, those tools need to be updated to support 3.0 on WiredTiger. Many
tools enumerate namespaces by querying system collections that do not
exist when MongoDB is running WiredTiger. The mongo shell function
db.getCollectionNames() and the show command pre-3.0 does this, too -
the reason you can list collections on the 3.0 mongod box is that you
have the 3.0 mongo shell installed there.

I use NoSQL Manager for MongoDB with Mongo 3.0/WiredTiger

This is fixed as of February 1, 2016 with Robomongo.

Using the right version that is robomongo-0.9.0-rc8 fixed my problem.

Why does MongoDB advise on upgrading MongoDB incrementally, version-by-version?

Apologies if this question is too open-ended.
I have inherited an aging tech stack and am required to upgrade our 200GB MongoDB Community Edition v3.4 installation (hosted on Ubuntu 20) to MongoDB v5 in order to support some new features.
MongoDB advises that to install v5.0, one must be already on MongoDB v4.4:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/5.0-upgrade-standalone/
They say that if you are on a version older than 4.4, then you need to incrementally upgrade to v4.4 before upgrading to v5.
However, if you follow the links in that official upgrade tutorial, you will find that in order to upgrade to any version of MongoDB, they insist on you upgrading version-by-version, successively.
So for me on v3.4 the upgrade path will look like this:
v3.4 -> v3.6 -> v4.0 -> v4.2 -> v4.4 -> v5.0.13
Following these tutorials:
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/3.6-upgrade-standalone/
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/4.0-upgrade-standalone/
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/4.2-upgrade-standalone/
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/4.4-upgrade-standalone/
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/5.0-upgrade-standalone/
I'm not entirely sure why this is necessary, as the tutorials themselves seem to mostly involve copying over newer binaries and then setting a feature compatibility version in the database config.
To test whether this was necessary I did a mongodump of our entire v3.4 database and then installed a standalone MongoDB v5.0.13 on the same server and then mongorestore to the new v5.0.13 database. Everything seems to work fine, mongorestore spent two hours recreating all the indexes as its last step (something various articles told me would not happen using the mongodump/mongorestore method).
I am able to connect Mongo clients to this new v5.0.13 Community instance without issue. All the data is there and I am able to query it just fine.
So my question is, why does MongoDB strongly advise doing the upgrade incrementally, one version at a time when dumping the database and restoring it to a new version of MongoDB seems to work just fine?
The only issues I have currently is having to rewrite some client code which is using an older Mongo Java driver. This is something I am going to have to do regardless of the upgrade method I used.
Our MongoDB instance is Community Edition and is a single, standalone instance (not a replica set) so I don't know if this matters. Perhaps the upgrade process described by MongoDB is for Mongo Cloud or for Enterprise?
I'm just looking for clarification on whether the simpler method I tried is going to cause me issues. Maybe I've missed something I hadn't considered.

Which Desktop Client can be connect to MongoDB 2

Current version Mongo DB GUI tools cannot be connect to MongoDB 2.x in 2021 years.
Dose have some tools can connected? (Windows And Linux).
Or can be installed at server and use web to connecting.
Not working screenshoot List
Studio 3T 2021.10.1
Compass 1.29.6
With MongoDB Compass, sometimes shortened to Compass, you can access most of the features the MongoDB database engine offers through an intuitive visual display. You can glance through databases, collections and individual documents, interactively create queries, manipulate existing documents, and design aggregation pipelines through a dedicated interface.Download here
Finally, I found the "rock mongo" based on PHP 5.
Available to connect mongo 2 last version is 1.1.7
Github source is #iwind/rockmongo
I make that installers cache at: rockmongo-v1.1.7.zip

migrating parse-server / mlab deployment to MongoDB Atlas

I originally posted this question on ServerFault, but it didn't get any traction, so I thought that stack might be a better forum for this question. My apologies if this out of line.
We are currently running parse-server (v2.7.2) on Heroku (node.js 7.10.1), connected to an mLab mongodb database. I recently received a notification
from mLab that they have been acquired by MongoDB and will be eventually migrating all customers to MongoDB Atlas.
The migration instructions from mLab to Atlas seem fairly self explanatory. My question concerns parse-server itself:
Does our version of parse-server (2.7.2) and node.js (7.10.1) have drivers that will support Atlas MongoDB?
MongoDB feature compatibility will depend on the underlying driver version which you can find by running npm list mongodb in the directory where you installed parse-server.
You can also check the mongodb driver version requested in parse-server's package.json, but a newer driver version may be installed depending on the semver notation used.
It looks like parse-server 2.7.2 uses the mongodb 3.0.1 driver, which is fully compatible with MongoDB 3.4 and 3.6 features according to the MongoDB Driver Compatibility documentation.
The MongoDB Node 3.0.x driver won't support newer features of MongoDB 4.0 (for example, transactions), but you should otherwise be fine with an Atlas deployment using MongoDB 3.4 or newer.

collections are not shown in database in Robomongo 0.8.5

In my mongodb one database contains thee collections, but when i run Robomongo 0.8.5 collections of my database are not shown(left side of the Robomongo 0.8.5(file explorer).
If i run following query in Robomongo 0.8.5, it shows all the collection.
db.stats()
another query to show collection
db.collectionName.find()//it shows all documents in collection
please suggest solution for this problem.
Robomongo 0.8.x is not compatible with MongoDB 3.x. Try MongoChef.
You if you like to stick to Robomongo: the most current versions (0.9.x) now supports MongoDB 3.x
Update your Robomongo with current version, It will solve your problem.

MongoDB WiredTiger issue

I have work a lot with MongoDB 2.6, then I decide to start using MongoDB 3.0.2.
1) When I create an Database using the shell command, the command return true but
the database is not created.
use NewDatabaseName
2) When i try to create some collections, sometime is created and sometime no
I'm using Debian 64Bit, latest version.
Anybody is having this issue?
MongoDB 3.0 is not compatible with all GUI.
For example today MongoVUE do not work at all.
But MongoDB Management Studio sounds like the only one that really work.
Also here some other post related.
mongodb version 3.0.0 client robomongo mongovue
Yes your problem is GUI-related. You can check out different tools on this page:
http://mongodb-tools.com/
I will most probably be using MongoChef from now on.
