mongosh “mongodb+srv://databaseAdmin:databaseAdminPassword@my-cluster-name-rs0..svc.cluster.local/admin?replicaSet=rs0&ssl=false”

Does this have ability to detect failover and route the applications to new Primary ?

It was sending my connection to Secondary.

rs0 [direct: secondary] admin\> db.currentOp()  
MongoServerError: not primary and secondaryOk=false - consider using db.getMongo().setReadPref() or readPreference in the connection string  
rs0 [direct: secondary] admin\>

How about to use “mongodb://” with option “directConnection=true”?  
It always connect to primary node if non-sharding cluster.
