Data Management (DMS) is an integrated and visualized database solution that offers data management, structure management, user authorization, security auditing, data trend analysis, data tracking, business intelligence (BI) charts, performance optimization, and server management. You can use DMS to connect to ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances for remote access and online management.

Preparations

Add the IP addresses of the DMS server to a whitelist of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance based on the network type. For more information, see Configure a whitelist for an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

Note Skip this step if you have added the IP addresses of the DMS server to a whitelist of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.
