If your project has hosts that use Automation, you can update the Agents on those hosts to the MongoDB Agent.

  1. Click Update All.

  2. Wait until all hosts show Updated.

  3. Click Next.

Important

All authentication SCRAM, LDAP, and Kerberos credentials from legacy Agents are retained after the update. All .pem key files are retained as well.

All credentials for the legacy Agents are migrated to the MongoDB Agent.

  • The legacy Automation Agent credentials become the MongoDB Agent credentials used for Automation. These credentials should not need modification. However, if you need to modify them, navigate to Deployment Security Settings Edit Settings.

  • The legacy Monitoring Agent credentials can be modified from Deployment Processes Monitoring Settings Credentials.

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