Data Management (DMS) is an integrated database solution that offers data management, structure management, user authorization, security auditing, data trend analysis, data tracking, BI charts, performance optimization, and server management. You can use DMS to connect to a standalone ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance for easy management.

Preparations

Add the IP address of the DMS server (100.104.0.0/16) to the whitelist of the ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance. For more information, see Configure a whitelist for a standalone ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance.

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