#USING ROBO 3T TRIAL#
For new ScaleGrid users, create a free 30-day trial account and set up your first MongoDB cluster (Robo 3T supported on all plans). You can either create a new instance or pick an existing instance which has access to the ScaleGrid MongoDB cluster you’d like to connect to.
#USING ROBO 3T INSTALL#
The first thing we need to do is identify a machine to install Robo 3T.
#USING ROBO 3T HOW TO#
This open source tool has cross-platform support and actually embeds the mongo shell within its interface to provide both shell and GUI-based interaction.Īs a highly-popular GUI leveraged by our MongoDB hosting customers, we’re providing this tutorial on how to quickly connect your ScaleGrid deployment with Robo 3T. Another important note, all user need to be created in the Atlas security interface, you cannot create users through the shell.Robo 3T (formerly Robomongo) is a popular desktop graphical user interface (GUI) for your MongoDB hosting deployments that allows you to interact with your data through visual indicators instead of a text-based interface. If you were using a basic user account, you will still authenticate with the admin database since all users authenticate with the admin db in Atlas.
#USING ROBO 3T PASSWORD#
For the User credentials enter your Atlas admin account and the password and select SCRAM-SHA-1 for the Auth Mechanism. On the Authentication tab, click the checkbox Perform Authentication. Our Atlas admin account is automatically added to the admin database when we stand up our first cluster, so you shouldn't have to add.
Now we are ready to click on the Authentication tab up top. Find your replica set members and enter them like you see in the images above. If you look at the connection string on this page and then look at the example in the images above, you can see what parts we parse out for the individual replica set members. Scroll down the the section titled "Connect with the Mongo Shell". You can find the node details in Atlas by clicking on Clusters and then clicking on the Data button. All other steps in this guide are the same for either connection type. See the second image that follows for reference. If you want to connect as a basic user, maybe a user that has only read access to a specific database, you would change the connection type to Direct Connection and and use the primary member to connect. IMPORTANT - As of writing this you can only connect with the Replica Set connection type if you are connecting as an Atlas admin, which we are doing in the first image below. Give it a friendly name and then enter the members of your replica set in Atlas. For the Type, we are going to select Replica Set. Click the create button at the top of this window to create a new connection. Open Robo 3T and click the file option, then click connect. When you went through the configuration the first time you should have been asked to setup your Atlas admin account, we will use this to connect to the MongoDB instance.
We are going to assume you have already setup your cluster in Atlas. Here is a quick guide on using Robo3T to connect to your MongoDB 3.4 replica set in Atlas. With their first release, Robo 3T v1.1, we now have support for MongoDB 3.4 and some new features around working with your clusters in Atlas. If you use Robomongo you probably already know that Robomongo was acquired by 3T Software.
