Connect MongoDB Atlas
Argus scans a MongoDB Atlas organization read-only with an API key pair. Nothing is installed, and Argus only ever reads.
Before you start
- Permission to create an organization API key in Atlas.
- An available account slot: Free connects one account, Pro connects an unlimited number. See Billing & plans.
Provider-side setup
- In Atlas, create an organization API key with a read-only role. Argus only reads.
- Copy the key's public and private halves, and the Organization ID.
Required permissions
The API key needs the Organization Read Only role. Auditing the organization's auditing configuration additionally requires the Organization Owner role.
Connect in Argus
Go to Accounts and click Connect account. Pick MongoDB Atlas, then the Key pair method. Enter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Organization ID | the Atlas organization id |
| Public key | the API key's public half |
| Private key | the API key's private half |
Connection test
Finish the wizard. Argus stores the credential server-side and runs an asynchronous connection test before the first scan. The account card reports Connected, Checking…, or Failed. On a failure, re-check the key pair and use Test connection on the account card to retry.
