MongoDB Configuration File Templates

The configuration templates include basic recommended settings for MongoDB configuration files for mongod instances, mongos instances (sharded clusters only), and config servers (sharded clusters only) for the initial setup of the Event Repository. Refer to the reference material MongoDB Configuration File Options in your MongoDB product documentation for descriptions of these options and other MongoDB configuration file options.

mongod.conf File

This section shows a mongod instance MongoDB configuration file (mongod.conf) template that includes basic recommended settings for the initial setup of the Event Repository. You can use this template for mongod instances for a non-sharded deployment and for mongod instances of your shard replica sets.
