  • Configure MongoDB Agents to Use Remote, Hybrid, or Local Downloads

By default, Ops Manager, MongoDB Agent, and Backup Daemon hosts download MongoDB installation binaries over the public internet from MongoDB, Inc.

If your environment restricts which hosts can access the public internet, Ops Manager, MongoDB Agent, and Backup Daemon hosts can download MongoDB installation binaries from other locations. You can configure the following download modes:

This is the default configuration when you deploy Ops Manager. If your Ops Manager, MongoDB deployment, and Backup Daemon hosts can access the public internet, no additional configuration is necessary.

Choose Remote Mode when the Ops Manager, MongoDB deployment, and Backup Daemon hosts can access the public internet or can access an internal or external HTTP or HTTPS endpoint that hosts the MongoDB installation binaries.

Note

If your MongoDB deployments run FCV 4.2 or later, your MongoDB deployments require access to the public internet or an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint that hosts the MongoDB installation binaries to run Ops Manager in Remote Mode.

If you want your Ops Manager, MongoDB Agent, and Backup Daemon hosts to download the MongoDB installation binaries from an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint, specify the endpoint using the Base URL Ops Manager configuration setting. To learn more, see the Remote Mode instructions in Configure MongoDB Agent to Use Remote Downloads.

Choose Hybrid Mode when only the Ops Manager hosts in your deployment can access the public internet. Ops Manager hosts download MongoDB installer binaries from the internet. MongoDB hosts with MongoDB Agents download these installers from the Ops Manager hosts and then install or upgrade MongoDB deployments.

To manage MongoDB hosts without internet access, you must specify that the Source for agents to download MongoDB binaries is hybrid. To learn more, see the Hybrid Mode instructions in Configure MongoDB Agent to Use Hybrid Downloads.

Choose Local Mode when none of the hosts in your deployment can access the public internet or an internal or external HTTP or HTTPS endpoint that hosts the MongoDB installation binaries. Instead, the required MongoDB binaries must be loaded onto each Ops Manager host and then downloaded using MongoDB Backup Daemons and MongoDB Agents.

To manage MongoDB hosts and run Ops Manager without internet access, you must specify that the Source for agents to download MongoDB binaries is local. To learn more, see the Local Mode instructions in Configure MongoDB Agent to Use Local Downloads.

Ops Manager supports MongoDB Community Edition for Microsoft Windows with TLS in the following versions:

  • MongoDB versions 3.2.12 or later

  • MongoDB versions 3.4.1 or later

  • MongoDB release series 3.6, 4.0, and 4.2

To use earlier versions, you must download them from MongoDB.

If you configure an HTTP proxy for Ops Manager, the Backup Daemon, and the MongoDB Agents:

If you plan on running MongoDB Enterprise on Linux hosts, then you must manually install a set of dependencies to each host before installing MongoDB. The MongoDB manual provides the appropriate command to install the dependencies. To install the dependencies, see the instructions for the appropriate host platform:

To configure internet access for Ops Manager and MongoDB Agents, you must have Global Owner access to Ops Manager.
