Audit case study

In this section, we will put everything together and present an audit project using MongoDB Atlas and the MongoDB CLI.

MongoDB CLI

The MongoDB CLI allows us to configure Atlas, Cloud Manager, Ops Manager, and IAM operations. In this section, we will use the MongoDB Atlas interface to connect to our Atlas instance.

We can install the MongoDB Atlas tool by following the instructions in the documentation page: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongocli/stable/install/ or using the GitHub repo https://github.com/mongodb/mongodb-atlas-cli

We can use the general purpose mongocli or the Atlas specific atlascli.

The next step is to initiate and configure mongocli to authenticate to our cluster:
