Last updated: April 10, 2026
QUESTION
When setting up the MongoDB Atlas log source in Panther, the documentation mentions an API key, but the UI requires a Public Key and Private Key. What should be used here?

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.
