@jdamon96 do you mind reviewing these changes? I'm wondering: is there a way to only capture to the configured MongoDB and disable data sync outside of that?

There was a question about this from a user.

[jdamon96]

Changes LGTM. Good clarification that the feature works regardless of whether the Mongo collection is on the local network or not.

Re: is there a way to only capture to the configured MongoDB and disable data sync outside of that?

• because this was built as a feature of data capture and not data sync, I believe the answer to this question is yes: the user can only capture to the configured MongoDB collection by enabling this feature while disabling data sync.
• it may be worth noting that at scoping stage, the fact this feature is coupled with data capture rather than data sync was viewed as a shortcoming and this implementation (adding this functionality to the data capture path vs data sync path) was chosen for its speedier implementation.

^ ran the above answer by Nick Sanford, he confirmed it's correct and added the clarification that in the case where the user has a direct to mongo URI provided and data sync turned off, the data will still be captured to disk (in addition to being captured to mongo)
