Summary

Collect and store the the uri used by the client driver when connecting to a mongodb server process.

Motivation

When users connect to a server today, it is not currently possible to know exactly what options they passed when connecting to that server. Some crucial information includes the style of mongo uri (mongodb:// or mongodb+srv://), the topology (replica set vs standalone) and the specific hosts (what hostname are we connecting to over what horizon). Passing the uri used and exposing it server side would allow us to better understand how user's interact with our software and would enable projects that pivot off that information in the future.
