Settings

The “Settings” section of the On-Prem MongoDB Management Service (MMS) console enables users to personalize their console and activate or activate a variety of features. The following sections correspond to a tab on the Settings page.

My Settings

These settings are specific to the logged in user, and will only affect their MMS experience.

Profile

The Profile page allows users to update their personal information.

Note

The username, email address, and password are also used for jira.mongodb.org. Changing your email address or password in MMS will also change the email address and password you use to log into Jira.

  • User Name: displays the user’s name. You cannot change your username.

  • Email Address: displays the email address MMS associates with your account. You can change your email address by clicking on the “pencil” icon.

  • Mobile Phone Number: displays the mobile phone number MMS uses for Two-Factor Authentication. You can change the number by clicking on the “pencil” icon.

    If you are outside of the United States or Canada, you will need to include ‘011’ and your country code. For instance, for New Zealand (country code 64), you would need to enter ‘01164’, followed by your phone number. Alternately, you can sign up for a Google Voice number, and use that number for your authentication.

    Note

    Two-Factor Authentication via SMS text message does not currently support Indian mobile phone numbers (country code 91).

  • Password: allows you to change your MMS password. Passwords must fulfill MMS’s password requirements.

Personalization

The Personalization page allows users to configure the console to suit their needs and preferences.

  • Chart Refresh: sets the rate at which the data displayed in the charts on your dashboards or on the “Hosts Statistics” page refreshes.
  • Default Dashboard: sets the default dashboard on the “Dashboard” page. You can select from a list of all of your dashboards.
  • Homepage: sets which page of the MMS console you will see when you log into MMS. You can choose from the “Hosts” page, or the “Dashboard” page.
  • Page Shown When Switching Groups sets which page of the MMS console you will see when you select a different group. You can select the “Hosts” page or the “Dashboard” page. Alternatively, select “Current” and MMS will not change pages when you select a different group.
  • Separate Opcounter Charts: allows you to control the presentation of Opcounter Charts. If enabled, MMS charts each opcounter type separately. Otherwise, each opcounter type is overlaid together in a single chart.
  • Display Chart Annotations: toggles the presence of chart annotations. Chart annotations overlay information about significant system events on the charts. For example, with chart annotations MMS will draw a red vertical line over the charts.
  • User Time Zone: sets your local time zone.
  • User Language: allows you to select the language the MMS Console will display in.
  • User Date Format: allows you to select your preferred date format.
  • Email Notifications: allows you to opt-in to, or opt-out of receiving e-mail newsletters about MMS.

Group Settings

These settings are general settings that apply to all users in the current group.

General Settings

  • Log Data Collection For All Hosts: activates or deactivates the collection of log data for all hosts. This overwrites the statuses set on the individual hosts. On Prem MMS Monitoring displays log data in the “Logs” tab of the “Host Statistics” page.
  • Group Time Zone: sets your group’s time zone.
  • Exposed DB Host Check: when active, On Prem MMS Monitoring will periodically try to connect to your MongoDB instances. If your configuration is secure, this should fail. If the attempt is successful, On Prem MMS Monitoring sends you an alert.
  • DB Stats: allows you to enable or disable the collection of database statistics. For more information, see “How does MMS gather database statistics?”.

Preferred Hostnames

Preferred Hostnames allows you to specify the hostname to use for servers with multiple aliases. This prevents servers from appearing multiple times under different names.

Duplicate Hostnames

Duplicate Hostnames allows you to reset and remove all detected duplicate hosts. This is useful if your server environment has drastically changed and you believe a host is incorrectly marked as a duplicate.

API Key

API Key displays the On Prem MMS Monitoring API Key for your MMS group. Keep this key private. Use the API key to support automated agent installation.

Secret Key

Secret Key displays the On Prem MMS Monitoring Secret Key for your group. Keep this key private. Use the Secret key to support automated agent installation.

Monitoring Agent

Monitoring Agent provides links for downloading the pre-configured Monitoring agent in both .zip and .tar.gz formats. It also provides links to download a generic agent for automated agent installation.
