Considerations
A high index count generates significant load on the base cluster and might disrupt your
workload. The hard limit for search indexes on a single cluster is 2,500. However, the
number of indexes your cluster can support depends on your cluster tier and workload.
Smaller cluster tiers like M10 might experience performance degradation or
out-of-memory errors with far fewer indexes. Start with a small number of indexes and
monitor your cluster's resource usage as you scale.

Procedure
View a MongoDB Vector Search Index
Required Access
You need the Project Search Index Editor or higher role to view
MongoDB Vector Search indexes.
Procedure
Edit a MongoDB Vector Search Index
After you edit an index, MongoDB Vector Search rebuilds it. While the index rebuilds, you can continue to run MongoDB Vector Search queries by using the old index definition. When the index finishes rebuilding, the old index is automatically replaced. This process is similar to MongoDB Search indexes. To learn more, see Creating and Updating a MongoDB Search Index.
