In this guide we will go over Creating a Credential for MongoDB in vROPS for the True Visibility Management pack. The original documentation was posted here however it hasn’t yet been updated to vROPS 8.6 and the new vROPS cloud.

Procedure

  1. From the Left navigation bar, select Data Sources -> Integrations -> Credentials

Selecting ‘Integrations’ from the navigation bar leads to a page with options to add accounts and view credentials.

Click the Add button on the top left. In the Manage Credential window that appears, select whether or not authentication is required for your MongoDB environment, then enter the information indicated below:

Manage Credential window shows MongoDB setup, with “Authentication Not Required” set to True.

If authentication is required we would just select Authentication required under Credential Kind

Manage Credential wizard step shows MongoDB adapter, Authentication Required, and fields for username, password, and authentication type.
