Working through an issue the other day, I encountered three inconsistencies in the BI connector docs.

First, under https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/master/launch/#mongosqld-as-a-system-service for Windows, the systemLog path is using linux syntax instead of a drive letter and backslashes, just like in the green NOTE box under it which is correct.

Second, in the example immediately following the above, we have the steps to install and run the mongosqld service:

"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Connector for BI\2.4\bin\mongosqld.exe" install --config <pathToConfigFile>\mongosqld.conf
net start mongosql

This has proven confusing for at least one customer and it looked like one single command wrapping to the next line (novice mistake, but still). Preferably, it should read like this:

mongosqld.exe install --config "<pathToConfigFile>\mongosqld.conf"
net start mongosql

Note how I also wrapped the config path in quotes, since the path may contain spaces and will result in errors for the customer if those spaces are not escaped. Alternatively, we could simply provide another green NOTE box explaining the issue with spaces so they can adjust as needed.

Finally, the --mongo-sslPEMKeyFile explanation here https://docs.mongodb.com/bi-connector/master/reference/mongosqld/#cmdoption-mongosqld-mongo-sslpemkeyfile seems pasted over from a similar flag used in the mongod docs, hence the lingering reference in he description to mongodb. I believe this should read something like:

Specifies the .pem file containing both the TLS/SSL certificate and key for the Mongosqld instance. Specify the file name of the .pem file using relative or absolute paths.

Thanks!
