Add a Custom MongoDB Build
You can add custom-built versions of MongoDB for Ops Manager to download. Automation downloads these MongoDB versions "lazily": downloading binaries for a version of MongoDB when a MongoDB process uses that version on a managed host.
Warning
Serving Custom Builds when Ops Manager runs without Internet access
If you want to download a Custom Build from your Ops Manager host:
Run Ops Manager and its MongoDB Agents without access to the Internet.
Upload the Custom Build binary to the
Versions Directory
folder on the Ops Manager host.Provide the full URL to the Custom Build in the Ops Manager Application per the "Complete the Add Custom Build form" step in this procedure.
Ops Manager can't serve your Custom Build binaries if it or its Agents have Internet access. When Ops Manager, the Agents, or both have Internet access, they download the Custom Build binaries direct from the source over the Internet. These Custom Build binaries aren't stored on the Ops Manager host in this scenario.
Ops Manager can't backup deployments that use third-party custom builds. It does support custom builds that MongoDB provides.
Add a Custom Build
The existing versions of MongoDB may not meet your immediate needs. You can provide other versions of MongoDB through the Custom Builds functionality.
