You install the MongoDB Agent on each host that runs a MongoDB process you want Cloud Manager to work with. The workflow you follow depends on whether you want Automation to manage those deployments.
Before you install the MongoDB Agent, review the MongoDB Agent Prerequisites.
Installation Workflows
Choose the workflow that matches what you want Cloud Manager to do:
Workflow | When to Use |
|---|---|
You want Automation to manage your MongoDB deployments. You can also monitor and back up those deployments with this workflow. | |
You want to monitor your MongoDB deployments without placing them under Automation management. | |
You want to verify PGP signatures for Cloud Manager packages to certify that they are valid and unaltered MongoDB releases. |
Note
Installation Instructions in Cloud Manager Interface
Cloud Manager displays the MongoDB Agent install instructions after you choose your MongoDB Agent download. You can copy all the necessary commands from the Cloud Manager.
