MongoDB Compatibility Matrix
This page describes compatibility between Ops Manager features and MongoDB.
MongoDB Versions Compatible with Ops Manager
Ops Manager can manage databases that run specific versions of MongoDB. The following table displays the version compatibility. The MongoDB edition can be either Community or Enterprise.
MongoDB Version | Ops Manager 6.0 | Ops Manager 5.0 |
|---|---|---|
MongoDB 6.0 | Supported | |
MongoDB 5.0 | Supported | Supported |
MongoDB 4.4 | Supported | Supported |
MongoDB 4.2 | Supported | Supported |
MongoDB 4.0 | Deprecated | Supported |
MongoDB 3.6 | Supported |
Note
A deprecated version still works with the corresponding Ops Manager release, but we will remove the support for this version in the next release. MongoDB Support recommends migrating to a supported version to avoid potential incompatibility issues.
To learn more, see MongoDB Legacy Support Policy and MongoDB Software Lifecycle Schedules for Ops Manager.
Version support covers the full release series from the first to the last release.
Example
Ops Manager 5.0 supports the entire MongoDB release series from 4.0.0 to 4.0.20.
LDAP Authorization Compatibility
LDAP authorization was added to MongoDB Enterprise with version 3.4. This feature allows you to assign roles to users using LDAP. This feature was later changed to provide additional security with MongoDB 3.4.11. Ops Manager 3.4.13 or later, 3.6.3 or later, and 4.0.0 or later are compatible with MongoDB versions 3.4.11 or later.
BI Connector Compatibility
To use the MongoDB Connector for BI on Ops Manager 6.0.0 or later, you must use MongoDB 4.0 or later.
If your BI Connector runs MongoDB 3.6, you must disable the BI Connector, or update MongoDB to 4.0 before you upgrade Ops Manager to 6.0.0 or later.
Backup Considerations for MongoDB Versions
To learn more about backup considerations specific to MongoDB 4.4 and later and 4.2 and earlier, see Backup Considerations.
To learn more about MongoDB versioning, see MongoDB Versioning in the MongoDB Manual.
Agent Compatibility
The following table lists the Ops Manager versions that are compatible with the associated MongoDB Agent release series.
Monitoring Compatibility
To monitor a deployment running MongoDB 3.6 or later release series, you must use Monitoring Agent version 2.7.0 or later.
Automation PowerPC Compatibility
To manage PowerPC Linux-based hosts, you must use Automation Agent 3.2.7.1927 or later.
Backup Compatibility
To back up MongoDB deployments running the 3.6 or later release series, upgrade to Backup Agent 6.0.3.689 or later.
MongoDB Deployment Types
Using Ops Manager, you can configure all MongoDB deployment types: sharded clusters, replica sets, and standalones.
The shards in a sharded cluster must be replica sets. That is, a shard cannot be a standalone mongod. If you must run a shard as a single mongod (which provides no redundancy or failover), run the shard as a single-member replica set.
Note
You may not upgrade a sharded MongoDB deployment to version 3.4 if the deployment uses mirrored mongod instances as config servers. To allow the sharded deployment to be upgraded, see Convert Config Servers to a Replica Set. The conversion requires that the sharded deployment run MongoDB version 3.2.4 or later. Deployments running previous versions must upgrade to version 3.2.4 before an upgrade to version 3.4.
