![]() ![]() You can do that using the "Database Access" link on the left-hand side of the Atlas site, and clicking the "Add New Database User" button. There will usually be placeholders for your username and password, surrounded by angle-brackets, like this: need to find the username and password for your database user, or create a new database user to obtain these credentials. You can find more information about MongoDB Atlas connection strings in the MongoDB documentation.īe aware that if you choose the MongoDB Shell option, you'll be provided with the whole command-line for starting mongosh, and not just the connection string! ![]() There's a small “copy-paste” button next to the connection string to make your life even easier! In the next screen, select the method you're using to connect to MongoDB, and you'll be provided with a suitable connection string for your cluster. In the MongoDB Atlas web interface, find the cluster to connect to, and click on the "Connect" button next to its name. Finally, we identified and defined the components of a connection string.How to get your MongoDB Atlas connection string Next, we located our connection string in Atlas. ![]() Then you learned that there's two formats to the connection string in MongoDB: the standard format and the DNS seed list format. First, you learned what the MongoDB connection string is. To summarize, here's what you learned in this video. MongoDB has options for just about anything that you need when it comes to connecting to a database. This tells MongoDB drivers to automatically retry when certain types of write operations fail. In this connection string, retry writes are set to true. The final piece of the connection string contains any options that we want to include, such as the connection timeout, TLS and SSL, connection pooling, and read and write concerns. If the port number is not specified, MongoDB will default to port 27017. Next is the host and the optional port number to our database. Following the MongoDB prefix, there's the username and password that we created for our database in the Atlas Dashboard. The srv addition automatically sets the TLS security option to true and tells MongoDB to use the DNS seed list. The connection string from the Atlas Dashboard uses a DNS seed list entry which has a list of host behind it that we can connect to. It begins with a required prefixed mongodb that identifies it as a MongoDB connection string. At first glance, the connection string appears to be a very long string of characters but we can actually break it down into separate components. In the bottom portion of the modal, you'll find the connection string which we'll use to connect to MongoDB. In the modal box that comes up, you'll find step by step instructions for connecting to your MongoDB instance. Let's go ahead and click on Connect your application. For all three of these options, you'll get similar connection strings. This will bring up a modal box, which gives us options for connecting to this database through the MongoDB Shell, our application, or through MongoDB Compass. To see our connection string, we'll click on the Connect button for our cluster zero. Remember that if you're not on this page already, you can always click on the Database button in the left-hand menu to return to this page. First, we'll return to our database deployments page. Again, our goal here is to connect to our Atlas cluster. Before we go into the components that make up the connection string, let's first locate the connection string in our Atlas Dashboard. This gives us a lot more flexibility with our deployment and the ability to change servers in our rotation without reconfiguring any of our clients. It allows us to provide a DNS server list to our connection string. The DNS seed list format was released in MongoDB 3.6. To obtain the connection string for an Atlas cluster: Navigate to your Atlas Clusters view. The standard format is used to connect to standalone clusters, replica sets, or sharded clusters. You can use either the Standard Connection String Format or the DNS Seedlist Connection Format. MongoDB provides two formats for the connection string: a standard format, and a DNS seed list format. For example, the connection string can be used to connect from the Mongo Shell, MongoDB Compass or any other application. ![]() It describes the host that we'll be using and the options for connecting to a MongoDB database. The MongoDB connection string allows us to connect to our cluster and work with our data. We just have to provide our database information in our application. In this video, you'll learn how to use the MongoDB connection string, where to locate the connection string for an Atlas cluster and what the string consists of. Connection String Formats You can specify the MongoDB connection string using either: the Standard Connection String Format or. Our first example is the most common way of configuring connections. ![]()
