FAQ¶

What is the Compass Isolated Edition?什么是Compass隔离版？¶

Compass Isolated Edition restricts network requests to only the MongoDB server chosen on the Connect screen. Compass隔离版将网络请求仅限于在Connect屏幕上选择的MongoDB服务器。All other outbound connections are not permitted in this edition, meaning no additional firewall configuration is required when running Compass Isolated Edition.此版本中不允许所有其他出站连接，这意味着运行Compass隔离版时不需要额外的防火墙配置。

What is the performance impact of running this tool?运行此工具对性能有什么影响？¶

Testing has shown that MongoDB Compass has minimal impact in prototype deployments, though additional performance testing and monitoring is in progress.测试表明，MongoDB Compass对原型部署的影响最小，尽管正在进行额外的性能测试和监控。

You should only execute queries that are indexed appropriately in the database to avoid scanning the entire collection.您应该只执行在数据库中适当索引的查询，以避免扫描整个集合。

How does Compass handle confidential data?Compass如何处理机密数据？¶

MongoDB Compass stores and retrieves sensitive data such as passwords using a credentials API specific to the operating system running Compass. MongoDB Compass使用特定于运行Compass的操作系统的凭据API存储和检索敏感数据，如密码。The credentials API securely handles sensitive information by encrypting and protecting access to your data.凭据API通过加密和保护对数据的访问来安全地处理敏感信息。

MongoDB Compass stores the following data using the credentials API:MongoDB Compass使用凭据API存储以下数据：

• MongoDB server passwords,MongoDB服务器密码，
• SSH passwords for tunneling,隧道的SSH密码，
• TLS/SSL passphrases

MongoDB Compass utilizes a node.js native add-on, Keytar, to communicate with and store data in the operating system's credentials API. For more information on how Keytar operates and the specific APIs it accesses, refer to the Keytar Github documentation.

Why am I seeing a warning about a non-genuine MongoDB server?为什么我看到关于非正版MongoDB服务器的警告？¶

Starting in MongoDB Compass 1.19, Compass displays a warning message when connected to non-genuine MongoDB instances as these instances may behave differently from the official MongoDB instances; e.g. missing or incomplete features, different feature behaviors, etc.从MongoDB Compass 1.19开始，Compass在连接到非正版MongoDB实例时会显示警告消息，因为这些实例的行为可能与官方MongoDB实例不同；e、 g.缺少或不完整的特征、不同的特征行为等。

What happens to long running queries?长时间运行的查询会发生什么情况？¶

As a precaution, Compass aborts long running queries to prevent excessive querying on your database.作为预防措施，Compass将中止长时间运行的查询，以防止对数据库进行过度查询。

Why are some features of MongoDB Compass not working?¶

If you can connect to your MongoDB instance using MongoDB Compass but some features do not work as expected, your system firewall may be blocking network requests required by MongoDB Compass. MongoDB Compass features which require incoming connections from external sources include:

• Third party mapping services
• Intercom
• Bugsnag for error reporting

To fix this issue, configure your system firewall to allow incoming connections for MongoDB Compass. Ensure ports 80 and 443 are open between MongoDB Compass and the host for the MongoDB Instance to which Compass connects.

Compass Isolated Edition restricts network requests to only the MongoDB server chosen on the Connect screen. All other outbound connections are not permitted in this edition, meaning no additional firewall configuration is required when running Compass Isolated Edition.
