What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

We are using collections with name following syntax "system_emails_YYMM". However we cannot see them using MongoDB Compass.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

The General settings would be extended by collection name patterns. Collections matching these patterns would be also listed.

However, if MongoDB Compass can distinguish between system collections and others then the best approach would be to show automatically non-system collections with name containing "system".

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

We cannot see important collections in MongoDB Compass.

Are system collections defined just by their name? I would expect that an application like MongoDB Compass can detect real system collections.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

We can see "hidden" data by either using manually created query (one must remember a collection name) or using Studio 3T (is very slow when listing larger number of collections).
