adminMongo is a Web based user interface (GUI) to handle all your MongoDB connections/databases needs. adminMongo is fully responsive and should work on a range of devices.
adminMongo connection information (including username/password) is stored unencrypted in a config file, it is not recommended to run this application on a production or public facing server without proper security considerations.

"docs_per_page": 15
}
}
Usage
Create a connection
After visiting http://127.0.0.1:1234 you will be presented with a connection screen. You need to give your connection a unique name as a reference when using adminMongo and a MongoDB formatted connection string. The format of a MongoDB connection string can form: mongodb://<user>:<password>@127.0.0.1:<port>/<db>
where specifying to the <db>
level is optional. For more information on MongoDB connection strings, see the official MongoDB documentation.
Note: The connection can be either local or remote hosted on VPS or MongoDB service such as MongoLab.
Connection/Database admin
After opening your newly created connection, you are able to see all database objects associated with your connection. Here you can create/delete collections, create/delete users and see various stats for your database.
Collections
After selecting your collection from the "Database Objects" menu, you will be presented with the collections screen. Here you can see documents in pagination form, create new documents, search documents, delete, edit documents and view/add indexes to your collection.
Searching documents
You can search documents using the Search documents
button on the collections screen. You will need to enter the key (field name) and value. Eg: key = "_id" and value = "569ff81e0077663d78a114ce".
You can clear your search by clicking the
Reset
button on the collections screen.
Documents
Adding and editing documents is done using a JSON syntax highlighting control.
Indexes
Indexes can be added from the collection screen. Please see the official MongoDB documentation on adding indexes.
