Monitoring AgentΒΆ

The MMS Monitoring Agent is a lightweight component that runs within your infrastructure, connects to your MongoDB processes, collects data about the state of your deployment, and then sends the data to the On Prem MMS Monitoring service which processes and renders this data. The agent initiates all connections to the On Prem MMS Monitoring service, and communications between the agent and the On Prem MMS Monitoring service are encrypted. A single agent can collect data from multiple MongoDB processes.

Consider the following diagram of an example deployment:

One Monitoring Agent can pull from multiple data centers and instances then push data to MMS.

This tutorial will guide you through the steps necessary to install or update On Prem MMS Monitoring on your system. You must install the On Prem Monitoring server itself before installing the Monitoring Agent.
