Mongo Compass compatibility with MongoDB server version
How can I know what's the latest version of MongoCompass I can use with MongoDB server. E.g if i'm using MongoDB 4.2.11 Community. What's the latest version of Compass I can use? I've searched a lot online and found no sort of document which explains this.
From https://www.mongodb.com/docs/compass/current/install/:
Compass requires […] MongoDB 3.6 or later
All current versions of Compass work with 3.6 or above. Currently, only MongoDB 4.2 and above are still receiving support as server versions, so please be aware of that when using older servers. You can expect that Compass will always work with the officially supported server versions at the time of the Compass release.
I tried the latest version of mongo compass, and it's not working with MongoDB 4.4.0 it just shows all collections as empty
@1Mark Do you have a screenshot? Logs (Help → Open Log File → Extract and open as .txt)? Do you have the required permissions to see the collection contents?
I definitely have permission since when I downgraded compass version it worked.
@1Mark Which versions did you try? Can you share log files for both cases to compare?
OK that bug went away after updating. The only thing left is, I get the following error
Current topology does not support sessions
I'm using Compass Version 1.32.2 (1.32.2)
Server version: MongoDB 4.0.22 Community
Current topology does not support sessions
This typically indicates that your server is older than 3.6.
@1Mark Thank you for the screenshot! Is there any chance that you would be able to share a log file as described above? Is there anything special about your server endpoint? What kind of topology are your server(s) configured in?

@1Mark Usually, when requesting log files, it is also the initial connection attempt log lines that are helpful.
Can you open the embedded shell in Compass (at the bottom of the screen), or alternatively, connect with the MongoDB Shell and report the output of db.isMaster() (in particular the logicalSessionTimeoutMinutes field) and db.adminCommand({ getParameter: 1, featureCompatibilityVersion: 1 }).featureCompatibilityVersion (in particular, whether the FCV is set to at least 3.6)?
Compass may not be able to work correctly if the featureCompatibilityVersion value is set to an older version, even if the server version is otherwise sufficiently recent.
{
setVersion: 31,
ismaster: false,
secondary: true,
passive: true,
hidden: true,
logicalSessionTimeoutMinutes: 30,
minWireVersion: 0,
maxWireVersion: 7,
readOnly: false,
ok: 1,
isWritablePrimary: false
}
@1Mark Where did you download the MongoDB Server binaries from? The isMaster response does not look like a typical MongoDB 4.0.22 Community isMaster response. Are you connecting against individual nodes with directConnection enabled?
(We ask for log files because a full log files, even if redacted, typically contains a lot of this information without the need for extra round-trips asking for info.)
I'm connected to a single node with direct connection. But is isMaster["hosts"] returns a list of nodes; the node that I connect to is a relay node (that allows me to connect to other nodes but in a separate cluster so I don't impact their performance). Not sure of the official term for this
@1Mark I think the mismatch between directConnection and it being a relay to a cluster might be tripping up Compass.
I don’t know what exactly “relay” means here for you, and it might be important to clarify that; the only type of relays that are provided by MongoDB would be mongos, which is typically used in sharding but can also be used for other purposes, or load balancers. Those would generate different isMaster responses, though.
@addaleax it's just a replicaset with https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/configure-secondary-only-replica-set-member/#prevent-secondary-from-becoming-primary this enabled.
replicaset that cannot be promoted to writer
@1Mark
But is isMaster["hosts"] returns a list of nodes
There’s nothing like that listed in the isMaster reply snippet above, though. Are you always connecting to the same host with the same configuration options here?
it's just a replicaset with https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/configure-secondary-only-replica-set-member/#prevent-secondary-from-becoming-primary this enabled.
and you are connecting with directConnection=true to this specific node?
and you are connecting with directConnection=true to this specific node? Yes that's correct

I apologise for the over redaction the first time I sent the copy of db.isMaster() that contained some deleted keys.
@1Mark Can you share a redacted version of the connection string from the log? Which readPreference value are you using? Which other options are you setting when connecting?
mongodb://someURI/?readPreference=secondary&directConnection=true
That's it. The rest is just default from Compass
Hi, the similar issue appears since last year. https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/COMPASS-5304 Why this ticket closed without any explanation?
Howewer, this problem forces me to use 1.28.4 with disabled automatic updating.
@ZhigunovSemen I do see an explanation for the closing of that ticket:
Compass requires MongoDB 3.6+. In 1.29 we start using some session-related features only available in 3.6+ that allow us to let users terminate queries. Are you using a MongoDB Version less than 3.6?
I'm not quite sure on the cause of @1Mark's issue. It looks like you're on a > 3.6 version but something isn't letting the sessions. Are you able to start a session manually when you're connected?
const db2 = db.getMongo().startSession({retryWrites: true, causalConsistency: true}).getDatabase(db.getName());
db.test.find();
Will this change the state/settings of the DB or only client session settings?
I'm not quite sure on the cause of @1Mark's issue. It looks like you're on a > 3.6 version but something isn't letting the sessions. Are you able to start a session manually when you're connected?
db.version()
3.6.11
We have server version 3.6.11.
const db2 = db.getMongo().startSession({retryWrites: true, causalConsistency: true}).getDatabase(db.getName());
db.test.find();
I run this without any problems/errors.
Compass requires MongoDB 3.6+. In 1.29 we start using some session-related features only available in 3.6+ that allow us to let users terminate queries.
Could you please add this information for Compass download page, so the people will have able to right choice which version need to download for older version of database ?

The advice on SO for just using Compass 1.28.4 is the only workaround for now https://stackoverflow.com/a/70298708/5506988
