If you use a local instance of MongoDB, you might be a great fan of Robo3T. However, if you are using Mongo Atlas, the Atlas web interface provides everything you need to manage the database.
If you want to continue your love with Robo3T, below are the detailed steps you need to follow:
- From the Atlas web dashboard, go to the Clusters tab. Click on the cluster and get the primary and secondary node address Ex: <<>>. mongodb.net:27017
- From the Clusters tab, click connect, select connect with mongo shell. Select the option “I don’t have mongo shell installed” and select version 3.4. From the connection set, find a replica set. <<>>net:27017/myFirstDatabase?replicaSet=atlas-vdequy-shard-0
- Create a new connection. Type -> Replica set
- Name -> name of your choice
- Members -> cluster address from step #1
- Set Name -> replica set from step #2
- Authentication tab, add user name and password.
- Go to the TLS tab and select the option “Self Signed Certificate.”
- Test your connection and save.
