The Data Explorer provides the ability to:

  • View databases, collections, and indexes in your cluster.

  • Create and drop databases, collections, and indexes.

  • Insert/edit/delete documents.

  • Create and run aggregation pipelines to process your data.

Data Explorer reads from the primary unless the primary is unavailable. If the primary is unavailable, Data Explorer reads from a non-hidden, non-delayed secondary member.

Data Explorer uses the Automation to retrieve all data. No Ops Manager configuration changes are required to access the Data Explorer.
