Allow Ops Manager to only download specific MongoDB binary packages

We would like to have an option in the Ops Manager UI to select certain MongoDB versions to be automatically downloaded by Automation in order to avoid downloading all major binaries. It is not good to have several MongoDB binaries using disk space and not being used.

    This is already possible!

    You can control which binaries Ops Manager downloads by creating a custom version manifest.

    https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/update-om-with-latest-version-manifest-with-api/

    The only thing not mentioned there is that you'll need to set the updated field in the version manifest to a future date.

    Typically updating the version manifest is automatic unless you're using local or remote mode - so setting a future date prevents overwriting the manifest in the scenario where you're not using either and still want OM to get the binaries from MongoDB over the internet.
