MongoDB Package Components
Core Processes
The core components in the MongoDB package are:
the core database process | |
the controller and query router for sharded clusters | |
the interactive shell |
Windows Services
The exe and exe describe the
options available for configuring MongoDB when running as a Windows
Service. The exe and exe binaries
provide a superset of the mongod and mongos
options.
Security Tools
mongoldap and mongokerberos provide a
method for validating a system's LDAP or Kerberos configuration
respectively, and for testing that the authentication process for each
succeeds for a given username.
MongoDB Compass
MongoDB is packaged with an install_compass script, which
is a platform-specific installer for
MongoDB Compass Community Edition.
