  1. mongosh should be its own tab at the top with output options

    I hate how mongosh is at the bottom. It makes it rather hard to see the results as it involves lots of scrolling, I end up having to write a js file and using mongosh in the terminal.
    It would be good if it was it's own tab at the top and give options to view the output differently.
    The best example I can give is how the robo3t does it. When the data can't be viewed as a tree or table, it just outputs it in text mode.

    Something like this is super handy for developers and makes it…

  2. Don't search for entire document set of a collection on a new tab by default

    When I want to search for documents of a collection I select the collection on the left pane and then a new tab is opened, that shows information as seen in picture big-collection.png.

    However, the problem with this default configuration is that is searches for the entire document set to display the information Displaying documents 1-20 of 1183373. The executed query is:

    {code}
    {
    "appName": "MongoDB Compass",
    "command": {
    "aggregate": "progress",
    "pipeline": [
    {
    "$match": {}
    },

    }
    }

  3. New Pipeline From Text tool should be more flexible

    In Compass' "Aggregations" tab users can select the option "New Pipeline From Text"

    This accepts pasting in a pipeline like:

    [
    ....
    ]

    However, it doesn't accept pasting in a pipeline with the original variable definition, like:

    var mypipeline = [
    ....
    ];

    This is an annoying paper-cut when people are pasting in a pipeline they've previously been editing/using somewhere else. For an example, see the 'var pipeline = [..];' copyable code snippet in the Practical MongoDB Aggregations book at: https://www.practical-mongodb-aggregations.com/examples/foundational/filtered-top-subset.html#aggregation-pipeline

    The tool should allow a variable definition to precede [...], where the variable can have any name and may…

  4. Display Documents within a Frame

    When clicking on a large collection (or running a long-running filter), the Documents are loaded within the main window and prevents the users from performing any other operation. By displaying data within a subframe (like for the aggregation pipeline builder), users can continue to work without waiting for the documents to load.

  5. Cancel a Preview Operation in the Aggregation Builder

    Currently, to cancel a preview operation in the aggregation builder, we have to close the tab and open a new tab, losing any changes to the aggregation pipeline if it hasn't been saved. Making a Cancel Operation feature to stop the Preview would allow the user to continue within the same tab.

  6. Add OpenSSH config and auth agent support

    I have to use a vpn which forwards into a proxy to connect to my mongo cluster.

    My PC => VPN => Bastion Host => Mongo Cluster

    This is very easy to do using OpenSSH configs in other tools but compass does not support this option.

  7. real time connectivity metrics

    Hello,

    in order to perform more accurate analysis, it would be helpful if the "RealTime" section is filled with more information.

    For example, the possibility to track from where which connection originates, at time X ( preferably in the past).

    Best regards

  9. Entity Relationship Diagram

    I would appreciate a feature that enables the designer to map entity relationships in similar fashion to SQL entity relationship diagrams (ERD). At present I’m using Datensen’s Meteor Modeler for this purpose. It would be nice to have this capability rolled into Compass.

  10. Filter the collection list in the collection screen by the "Filter your data" term

    The "Filter your data" search box on top of the list of dbs/collections allows to filter databases and collections. In databases with a large number of collections this is very useful to have quick access to the colletion(s) of interest without the need to scroll through the whole collection list in the collections screen.

    Unfortunately this filter has no effect on the collections list which ist provided in the collections screen. It would be very useful if this list would also be filtered by the filter term to have the collections of interest side by side with their metrics (Documents,…

  11. Remember its zoom size on startup

    Everytime we open compass it starts with default zoom size 100%.

    Is really annoing to have to adjust zoom using crtl + +/- everytime we open it.

  13. Filter By Hexadecimal

    When filtering by number, it would be nice to be able to filter by Hex (Base16) and Binary (Base2) values (ie. { field: 0x12345678 } or { field: 0b10101010 }.

  14. Ability to drill-down and easily export deeply nested arrays

    Provide the ability to drill-down and export any MongoDB array from Compass to a csv file, no matter how deeply it is stored within a document. So, one should be able to drill-down to the given array (no matter how many levels deep) in Compass, and then click "export to csv" to export only that nested array's contents to a CSV file.

  15. expand text areas

    text areas in documents have a limited size, I would like the possibility to expand them to be able to view the complete text, wrapped between the window width, using vertical scroll bars for the height.

  16. The JSON Schema export should be producing a jsonschema file that can be used immediately with schema validation

    It currently dumps a bunch of analysis information even though the menu item is "Share Schema as JSON". This file is useless for trying to harden or define a schema, even in non-mongodb tools (like validating documents match schema in our programs).

  17. i just want to refresh the current database to see the collections that may have changed

    ....but I can only refresh all the db's, and that loses the selection and I have to go find it again. There are sometimes hundreds of db's in a cluster and the list of databases is not ordered alphabetically (or otherwise that I can tell) and has no db search so its a constant exercise in scrolling to refresh the collections in a db

  18. Improve Compass experience for working with lots of Atlas Clusters

    Currently it's quite a lot of work to onboard Atlas Clusters especially if you have a lot. We have 80+. It would be a great if there was an easier way to create Cluster connections within Compass, whether that be an export/import process or you just connect it to Atlas and it works it all out via an API.

    To further support this it would also be great to set username/password details and preferences like secondary at root or group level so that clusters under root or group can inherit those credentials rather than filling in for each connection

  19. Edit facet stages

    Right now, if we add a facet stage into the aggregation pipeline, we have to write the rest of the aggregation query manually. Users should be able to edit the sub-pipelines within a facet stage.

  20. Add an option to visualize raw json query plans

    It should be possible to import a raw execution plan generated with .explain(), and have it visualized in Compass!

    Why - so we as developers don't need to read the JSON manually.

    This would be very usefull when debugging slow queries using the aggregation framework.
