Data Explorer¶
The Data Explorer provides the ability to:
- View databases, collections, and indexes in your cluster.
- Create and drop databases, collections, and indexes.
- Insert/edit/delete documents.
- Create and run aggregation pipelines to process your data.
Data Explorer reads from the primary unless the primary is unavailable. If the primary is unavailable, Data Explorer reads from a non-hidden, non-delayed secondary member.
Data Explorer uses the Automation to retrieve all data. No Cloud Manager configuration changes are required to access the Data Explorer.
