MongoDB Package Components

The core components in the MongoDB package are:

mongod

the core database process

the controller and query router for sharded clusters

mongosh

the interactive shell

The mongod.exe and mongos.exe binaries configure MongoDB as a Windows Service. They provide a superset of the mongod and mongos options.

  • mongod.exe

  • mongos.exe

mongoldap validates a system's LDAP configuration, and mongokerberos validates a system's Kerberos configuration. Both tools test that authentication succeeds for a specified username.

MongoDB is packaged with an install_compass script, which is a platform-specific installer for MongoDB Compass Community Edition.
