Description
Since the monitoring agent needs to connect to each shard to collect monitoring statistics, it needs to authenticate on the shards as well, so it requires to have user created on the primaries of each shard. It would be nice to add this requirement to the document.
Also, since the credentials don't propagate to the shards from mongos (in MongoDB and MMS), it would be nice to document that once user adds a mongos with credentials to MMS, he also needs to click the Edit button for all the primaries of all the shards to set the credentials. The credentials could be different across different shards and the credentials used for the shards could be different than the credentials used for the mongos.
