MongoDB connection does not fill in collection drop down

[rtfurton]

Hey all,

I'm attempting to connect to a MongoDB (verified it worked via robo 3T). The collection does not populate the drop down so the connection can not proceed. Does anyone know what the cause of this?

Hi @rtfurton 

Thanks for the screen shot! The MongoDB tool will NOT work for MongoAtlas and it also won't work for a MongoDB that has SSL enabled. Could that be the issue here? Do you know if your MongoDB has SSL enabled or is MongoAtlas?

Thanks!

SSL is now disabled and I'm able to connect. Now it crashes when it tries to pull more than a few GB of data (over 3).
