+    Each **pbm-agent** process needs to connect to its localhost `mongod` node with a standalone type of connection. Avoid using the replica set URI with **pbm-agent** as it can lead to unexpected behaviour.
 
-To set the MongoDB URI connection string means to configure a service init script (`pbm-agent.service` systemd unit file) that runs a **pbm-agent**.

 ??? tip "How to find the environment file"
 
-    The path to the environment file is specified in the `pbm-agent.service` systemd unit file.
-
     In Ubuntu and Debian, the pbm-agent.service systemd unit file is at the path `/lib/systemd/system/pbm-agent.service`.
 
     In Red Hat and CentOS, the path to this file is `/usr/lib/systemd/system/pbm-agent.service`.

+    The pbm CLI needs to connect to the replica set that stores PBM Control Collections. The MongoDB connection URI format is different from the one required by `pbm-agent`.
+
+    In a non-sharded replica set it is simply that replica set. In a sharded cluster it is the config server replica set.
 
 Set the MongoDB URI connection string for `pbm` CLI in your shell. This allows you to call `pbm` commands without the `--mongodb-uri` flag.
