Update from all legacy Agents
You have a project with automated MongoDB deployments with Monitoring, Backup, or both and want to update to the MongoDB Agent.
Note
Review the Prerequisites First
If you want to start or continue using Automation to manage your MongoDB deployments, please review the MongoDB Agent Prerequisites before updating to the MongoDB Agent.
Procedure
Update automated hosts to MongoDB Agent.
If your project has hosts that use Automation, you can update the Agents on those hosts to the MongoDB Agent.
Click Update All.
Wait until all hosts show Updated.
Click Next.
Important
All authentication SCRAM, LDAP, and Kerberos credentials from
legacy Agents are retained after the update. All .pem

The legacy Backup Agent credentials can be modified from Continuous Backup Overview <Deployment to Backup> under Options column Edit Credentials.
