Cloud Manager can analyze the data on query patterns collected by the database profiler and suggest a set of indexes that could improve query performance. Cloud Manager scores each suggested index on its expected benefit.
Prerequisites
For Cloud Manager to suggest indexes, the following must be true:
Enable database profiling for the MongoDB process.
Ensure that the profiler has data. If profiling is enabled, but no profiling data has yet been collected, Cloud Manager cannot suggest indexes.

In MongoDB Cloud Manager, go to the Deployment page for your project.

(Optional) For sharded clusters, filter which process type is listed.
The four buttons are listed in the following order, left to right: Shards, Configs, Mongos, and BIs.
Process | Displays |
|---|---|
Shards | mongod processes that host your data. |
Configs | mongod processes that run as config
servers to store a sharded cluster's metadata. |
Mongos | mongos processes that route data in a sharded
cluster. |
BIs | BI processes that access data
in a sharded cluster. |
