Last Updated:Feb 21, 2025

Data Management (DMS) is an integrated and visualized database solution that manages data, structures, user authorization, security auditing, data trend analysis, data tracking, BI charts, performance optimization, and servers. DMS can be used to connect to ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances for remote access and online management.

Preparations

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

Procedure

  1. Log on to the ApsaraDB for MongoDB console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Replica Set Instances.

  3. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the resource group and region to which the instance belongs.

  4. Click the ID of the instance that you want to manage or click Manage in the Actions column.

  5. In the upper-right corner of the page that appears, click Log On and select the node to which you want to log on.

  6. In the Log on to Database Instance dialog box, configure the parameters described in the following table.
