RELATED FEEDBACK

I wish to accelerate connection to a deployment (favorite) by specifying it on the command line

I'd like just to know if it's possible to start Compass connecting to a specific MongoDB passing a name of my favorites by args from command line

    This functionality became available in Compass 1.34.0.

    Yeah. Either a name of a favourite or the raw connection details (preferably with the option that it prompts for password if one not supplied). I have some scripts that create SSH tunnels (with 2FA, etc.) and for other DBs I can then launch a client using the local port my script randomly chose. Would like to for Mongo also

    Passing the connection data from arguments in command line is a must. Because it is not possible, we cannot implement Compass from CyberArk.

    This would be an awesome feature to have, esp when integrating with Privileged Identity management and bastion host solutions where MongoDB credentials are routinely rotated
