      Problem Statement/Rationale

      Database names starting with `__mdb_internal` are showing up in Compass's left panel database list, but these are meant to be internal to MongoDB processes and shouldn't be exposed to end users.

      Steps to Reproduce

      Connect to a database that has had at least one auto embed index created
