MongoDB
From their Website
MongoDB is a general purpose, document-based, distributed database built for modern application developers and for the cloud era.
MongoDB free monitoring.
To disable the message about free monitoring you can run db.disableFreeMonitoring().
Security
By default, MongoDB does not enforce access control, meaning that even if you set an admin username and password in the settings of your Pterodactyl server, anyone will be able to connect to the database without authentication, and perform any operation.
⚠️ This is why we recommend to expose your MongoDB database only to your local network, if possible
Notes specific to the MongoDB 6 egg
The MongoDB 6 egg enables access control by default in the mongod.conf file, meaning that even if people will be able to connect to your database as guests, they will not be able to perform any operation, apart from nonhazardous commands
⚠️ If you know what you are doing, and you really want to disable access control, you can do so by editing the mongod.conf file
security:
authorization: "disabled"

Minimum RAM warning
MongoDB requires approximately 1GB of RAM per 100.000 assets. If the system has to start swapping memory to disk, this will have a severely negative impact on performance, and should be avoided.
