Administering with the MongoDB Ops Manager

If you created a MongoDB database deployment in your IBM® Cloud Pak for Data cluster, you can access the MongoDB Ops Manager to complete common tasks such as managing the users that have access to the database or configuring your MongoDB nodes.

Accessing the MongoDB Ops Manager

When you create the database deployment, a default MongoDB user is created. You can use this user name and password to access the MongoDB Ops Manager.

To obtain the default user credentials for MongoDB Ops Manager:
  1. From the Cloud Pak for Data navigation menu, select Data > Databases.
  2. Open the actions menu for the database that you want to connect to and select Details.

    The credentials are in the MongoDB Ops Manager section of the Database details page. The default user is named admin.

To open the MongoDB Ops Manager:
  1. Use the route that was created during database deployment to open Ops Manager.
  2. On the Database details page, use the First Ops Manager user credentials to log in.

Working with the MongoDB Ops Manager

For more information about Ops Manager, see the MongoDB documentation.

By default, only the user who created the database deployment can access MongoDB Ops Manager. To give other users access to the database, see Ops Manager Users and Teams in the MongoDB documentation. Unless Cloud Pak for Data and MongoDB use the same LDAP server, the user names for the database are not tied to their Cloud Pak for Data user name.
