ANSWER

When creating an API key in MongoDB Atlas, it actually consists of two parts:

  • Public Key

  • Private Key

These two values together make up the API key referenced in the documentation.

When configuring the MongoDB Atlas log source in Panther, you’ll need to provide:

  • Organization ID

  • Public Key

  • Private Key

All three are required to authenticate the connection.
