MongoDB Agent
This version of the documentation is archived and no longer supported. View the current documentation to learn how to upgrade your version of the MongoDB Ops Manager.
Before the introduction of the MongoDB Agent, each function -- Automation, Backup, and Monitoring -- ran as a separate agent binary in your project.
The MongoDB Agent runs as a single binary that can perform any -- or all -- of the three functions depending upon what you need.
Activate the monitoring and/or backup functions using Ops Manager UI.
Activate automation when you create a new cluster or import an existing one.
