Skip to content Show This is a complimentary post following the installation of MongoDB, as you probably now, MongoDB comes with a web interface, easy to visualize what is going on with your MongoDB databases. http://localhost:28017 However, this is not enabled by default. In case you do not have started MongoDB with the web interface enabled you may need to restart the service adding the parameter –httpinterface. With MongoDB running, open a terminal window and start the MongoDB Shell, just by typing: $ mongo Then, use the following commands to shutdown the server. $ use admin $ db.shutdownServer() You are going to see a message similar to this. Now, that the server is down you just need to start using the –httpinterface parameter. $ mongod --httpinterface If everything goes right, you should be able to access the http://localhost:28017 and see something like this. Thank you for visiting. 🙂 Definition of MongoDB Web InterfaceMongoDB web interface is a tool used to administrate our database server via the web browser, there are multiple web interface tools available in MongoDB. There is multiple features of the web interface in MongoDB like we can create database and collection by using the web interface. We can also use the web interface GUI tool to monitor the MongoDB database server, there are multiple MongoDB web interface GUI tools available like Studio 3T, Robo 3T, NoSQL booster, DB Schema, MongoDB monitoring tools, and NoSQL manager. This tool is used to improve the productivity of DBA and development tasks. Syntax Below is the syntax of web interface in MongoDB. 1) Connect to the database cluster using MongoDB compass –
2) Connect to the database cluster using MongoDB shell –
Parameters: 1) Mongodb – This parameter is used to connect the MongoDB database cluster using the MongoDB compass. We can connect MongoDB compass by using the mongodb command, we can
also pass the username, hostname, and password at the time of connecting to the database server. How does the web interface work in MongoDB?
Code:
Figure – we need to encode password before using this into the connection string using MongoDB compass.
ExamplesThe below example shows the web interface in MongoDB. 1) MongoDB web interface connects the MongoDB atlas cluster via MongoDB shell
Code:
Figure – Example of MongoDB web interface connect to the MongoDB atlas cluster via MongoDB shell. In the above example, we have connected to the database cluster after connecting to the cluster we have to use a local database and display the collections from a local database. 2) MongoDB web interface connects to the database cluster via MongoDB compassThe below example shows that MongoDB web interface connects to the database cluster via MongoDB compass. We have connected to the “cluster0.xttyr.mongodb.net” host by using the user as dbuser and the password as “Mongodb@123”. We have encoded the given password before use into the MongoDB compass. We can see that encode format of “Mongodb@123” password is “Mongodb%40123”. Code:
Figure – Example of MongoDB web interface connect to the database cluster via MongoDB compass. 3) Create the database in MongoDB web interface by using MongoDB compassThe below example shows that create the database and collection in MongoDB web interface by using MongoDB compass.
Code:
Figure – Example of creating the database and collection in MongoDB web interface by using MongoDB compass. ConclusionMongoDB compass is the real-time web interface tool used in MongoDB to monitor the database and application. We can create the database and collection by using MongoDB compass. We can connect the MongoDB atlas cluster by using the MongoDB shell and mongo command. Recommended ArticlesThis is a guide to MongoDB Web Interface.
