Behavior
FIPS
mongostat automatically creates FIPS-compliant
connections to a mongod/mongos that is
configured to use FIPS mode.
Required Access
In order to connect to a mongod that enforces authorization
with the --auth option, specify the
--username and --password options, and the connecting user must have the
serverStatus privilege action on the cluster resources.
The built-in role clusterMonitor provides this privilege as
well as other privileges. To create a role with just the privilege to
run mongostat, see Create a Role to Run mongostat.
