By default, Ops Manager, MongoDB Agent, and Backup Daemon hosts download MongoDB installation binaries over the public internet from MongoDB, Inc.
If your environment restricts which hosts can access the public internet, Ops Manager, MongoDB Agent, and Backup Daemon hosts can download MongoDB installation binaries from other locations. You can configure the following download modes:
Remote Mode
Remote Mode is the default configuration when you deploy Ops Manager. If your Ops Manager, MongoDB deployment, and Backup Daemon hosts can access the public internet, no other configuration is necessary.
Select Remote Mode when your Ops Manager, MongoDB deployment, and Backup Daemon hosts can access the public internet. You can also select Remote Mode when these hosts can access an internal or external HTTP or HTTPS endpoint that hosts the MongoDB installation binaries.
Note
MongoDB deployments that run FCV 4.2 or later require access to the public internet to run Ops Manager in Remote Mode. An HTTP or HTTPS endpoint hosting MongoDB installation binaries can meet this requirement.
To download MongoDB installation binaries from an HTTP or HTTPS
endpoint, specify the endpoint using the Base URL Ops Manager
configuration setting. To learn more, see the Remote Mode
instructions in Configure MongoDB Agent to Use Remote Downloads.
Hybrid Mode
Select Hybrid Mode when only the Ops Manager hosts in your deployment can access the public internet. Ops Manager hosts download MongoDB installer binaries from the internet. MongoDB hosts with MongoDB Agents download these installers from the Ops Manager hosts and then install or upgrade MongoDB deployments.
To manage MongoDB hosts without internet access, you must specify that the Source for agents to download MongoDB binaries is hybrid. To learn more, see the Hybrid Mode instructions in Configure MongoDB Agent to Use Hybrid Downloads.
Local Mode
Select Local Mode when no hosts in your deployment can access the public internet or an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint hosting MongoDB installation binaries. The required MongoDB binaries must be loaded onto each Ops Manager host and downloaded using MongoDB Backup Daemons and MongoDB Agents.
To run Ops Manager and manage MongoDB hosts without internet access, set the Source for agents to download MongoDB binaries to local. To learn more, see the Local Mode instructions in Configure MongoDB Agent to Use Local Downloads.
Considerations
MongoDB Community for Windows with TLS Incompatibility
Ops Manager supports MongoDB Community Edition for Microsoft Windows with TLS in the following versions:
MongoDB versions 3.2.12 or later
MongoDB versions 3.4.1 or later
MongoDB release series 3.6, 4.0, and 4.2
To use earlier versions, you must download them from MongoDB.
Prerequisites
If you configure an HTTP proxy for Ops Manager, the Backup Daemon, and the MongoDB Agents:
Install MongoDB Enterprise Dependencies
If you plan to run MongoDB Enterprise on Linux hosts, install the required dependencies on each host before installing MongoDB. The MongoDB manual provides the appropriate command to install the dependencies. To install the dependencies, see the instructions for the appropriate host platform:
Required User Role to Change Mode
To configure internet access for Ops Manager and MongoDB Agents, you must have Global Owner access to Ops Manager.
Configure MongoDB Agents to Use Remote, Hybrid, or Local Downloads
Select your download mode and, for Local Mode, your MongoDB Server edition.
