I'm filing this now so as to ensure there is awareness within the Compass team about this concept, whether or not this can be implemented over the medium term (hopefully it can).

As of the MongoDB 4.0 release, we will have easy access to a free monitoring embedded in the server. The mongo shell will encourage community users to enable sending monitoring to MongoDB's Free Monitoring Cloud, which will then return a dedicated cloud URL for them to navigate to, in order to see their free monitoring.

Ideally in line with the MongoDB 4.0 release, or soon after, MongoDB Compass would do the same when connecting to MongoDB community

• e.g. it should prompt users to enable access to our free monitoring cloud
• after enabling it should show the user their dedicated monitoring URL

The scope of this project has rapidly been solidifying over the last few weeks, hence filing this now.
