# DB Connection

When you should feel the need to edit objects in the database directly and manually you have to connect to the database instance.

# Establish SSH Connection

First, establish an SSH connection to the front server. This is outlined in the SSH Connection Guide.

# MongoDB

You can connect to the MongoDB instance directly from the front server, although it is running on the back server

# Staging Database

Login to the staging database with the staging user

mongo mongodb://10.0.4.11:27017/dw-staging -u dw-staging

You will be prompted for a password, which is stored in the password manager.

# Production Database

Login to the production database with the production user

mongo mongodb://10.0.4.11:27017/dw -u dw

You will be prompted for a password, which is stored in the password manager.

# Admin Access

Access the whole mongo instance with the admin user

mongo mongodb://10.0.4.11:27017 -u dw-admin

You will be prompted for a password, which is stored in the password manager.

# Redis

The Redis instance does not differentiate between environments, you can use the same command for both environments to connect to Redis

redis-cli -h 10.0.4.11 -p 6379
