in https://jira.percona.com/browse/PMM-11849 we made all DSNs for mongo db `direct` by default.

I briefly looked at this.
It's not a CLI task. It's related to exporters. The flag needs to be passed across several layers.
Michal February 27, 2023 at 12:21 PM
Not at the moment.
If it's only about passing a flag to the exporter, it's 3.
If not, we need to first take a look what this entails. It could be a bigger change.

The purpose is to allow the pmm client to connect to an Atlas cluster to gather metrics. In Atlas clusters individual members are not directly accessible from outside Atlas, so the pmm agent cannot connect directly to each node as usual.

I'm happy to look into this.
What shall be the purpose of the `--direct-connection=false` flag?

MongoDB Atlas doesn’t allow direct connections. mongodb_exporter already supports using a --direct (true/false) argument:
but there is no way to pass that argument to pmm-admin.
Proposed fix: implement a --direct argument on pmm-admin that passes on the option to mongodb_exporter.
