In the previous demo, we successfully stopped and started our Node.
Also, we discovered the internal dashboard & integrated system metrics.
In this part we will learn how to complete the Stepdown process for our Node.

‍

You need to navigate to the Cluster area in the left part of the Layout section.
Make sure to switch to Physical layout to see your Primary and Secondary nodes.

Next to your Cluster name, you see blue Status and Cluster Options signs.

Click the Cluster options and select step down from the allocated dropdown menu.

Confirm your operation by selecting 'Yes/No'.

• This action triggers an election among the eligible secondary members to select a new primary.
• For more information, please refer to the official MongoDB documentation available at www.mongodb.com/docs

The status runner will indicate the progress of your operation.

Our Secondary node successfully completed the Stepdown process.

Your installation path will look like this:
