Move away from MongoDB

Usage and Config Platform
1

We have MongoDB on our cloud plugin server. It was required at the time we set up the plugin server.

I have seen that MongoDB is no longer used by the plug in server since we have upgraded to BigFix Enterprise 11.0.3.

Is the move away from MongoDB automatic during the upgrades or are there manual steps? We are showing vulnerabilities with MongoDB and I would prefer to just remove it instead of patching it.

Note:
Starting from BigFix Versions 10.0.9 and later, during the Plugin Portal upgrade, the MongoDB table, if present, gets migrated. The migration of the reports from the MongoDB will not require manual steps; it will be automatically executed at the initial startup of the Plugin Portal after upgrading to BigFix Version 10.0.9. All reports present in the MongoDB table are migrated into the new SQLite database. After the migration, the MongoDB table is dropped and the Plugin Portal will work with SQLite databases only. If the migration step fails, the MongoDB table continues to exist and will not lose any data.

Never mind. @orbiton beat me to it.
