MongoDB

Locate connection information

MongoDB CLI

1. Connect to your MongoDB node using the MongoDB CLI as an admin.

2. Execute the following query:

   1
   db.adminCommand( { replSetGetStatus : 1 } ).members

3. Make a note of the host identifiers.

MongoDB Atlas

1. Log in to your Atlas dashboard, click into the Database tab and click Connect.
2. Under Connect your application, click into the Drivers option.
3. In the following screen, make a note of the host identifier within your connection string. It can be found within the string that starts with mongodb+srv and the identifier is the URI after the @. E.g., some-cluster.some-characters.mongodb.net.

Allow database access

See CLI or Atlas instructions below depending on your MongoDB deployment type.

MongoDB CLI

1. Connect to your MongoDB node using the MongoDB CLI as an admin.

2. Execute the following script (with a username and password) to create a new user. Replace database with the name of the database you’d like to load data into.

   1
   use admin
   2
   3
   db.createUser({
   4
     user: "<username>",
   5
     pwd: "<password>",
   6
     roles: [ {role: "readWrite", db: "<database>"} ]
   7
   })

MongoDB Atlas

1. Log in to your Atlas dashboard, click into the Database Access section of the Security options.
2. Select Add New Database User. Choose the Password authentication method, and enter a username and password for the new user.
3. In the Database User Privileges menu, select Grant Specific User Privileges. Within Specific Privileges, add the following: readWrite@<database> (with the name of the database you’d like to load data into). You can leave the Collection field blank (*).
4. Click Add User to create the new user.

Set up network access

If your MongoDB instance enforces IP Access restrictions, you’ll need to allow access to a static IP.

MongoDB Atlas CLI

If you manage your Atlas project with the Atlas CLI, execute the following command to add the static IP to your project’s IP access list. You may need to append /32 to the IP address to specify it in CIDR notation.

$
atlas accessLists create "<static_ip_address>/32" --comment "data sharing service static IP"

MongoDB Atlas

1. Log in to your Atlas dashboard, click into the Network Access section of the Security options.
2. Select Add IP Address. In Access List Entry enter the static IP of the service.
3. Add an optional comment (e.g., “data sharing service”) and click Confirm.

Add your destination

Use the host name, port (unless using Atlas, in which case is not needed), and database name (as noted in Step 1) and the username and password (as configured in Step 2) to complete the connection.
