Import and Export Dump Files to MongoDB

MongoDB dump files can be imported and exported in two ways: through a MongoDB desktop client or through the RockMongo administration GUI.

In this article
Public IP requirement: to use a MongoDB desktop client for remote access, the Public IP feature must be enabled for the MongoDB node.

MongoDB Client (Database Master)

Dump Import to MongoDB

  1. Establish a remote connection to MongoDB. In the desktop client, click Import and select the required file type. The source guide uses Database Master 4 as its example.
  2. Browse for the XML or CSV file that should be imported, and then select a log file.
  3. Map or merge the source tables with the required target tables and complete the import.
  4. Return to the platform dashboard, open MongoDB in a browser, and verify the imported data in the test directory.

Dump Export from MongoDB

  1. In the MongoDB desktop client, select Export > Data Export.
  2. Choose the destination folder and select the tables that should be exported.
  3. Configure the required data-export options and click Finish.
  4. When the export completes successfully, open the selected target folder and verify the exported data.

RockMongo Admin Panel

  1. From the platform dashboard, click Open in Browser for the MongoDB node.
  2. Log in using the credentials received by email after the MongoDB node was created.
  3. Use the corresponding Export or Import controls in RockMongo to manage dump files.

Expected Result

MongoDB data is successfully imported from an XML/CSV source or exported to the selected local folder through a compatible MongoDB client. Alternatively, dump import and export operations can be performed through the RockMongo web administration panel.

Important Notes

  • The documentation provides two approaches: a MongoDB client and RockMongo.
  • A Public IP is required when connecting through a remote MongoDB desktop client.
  • The desktop-client example in the source documentation uses Database Master 4.
  • The documented import workflow uses XML/CSV files and a log file.
  • After importing, verify the imported data from the MongoDB web interface.
  • RockMongo requires the MongoDB credentials supplied after node creation.
