+In order to avoid very rare issues with crazy long urls found by the crawler on the web, the following setting should be set onto mongo globally:
+

 - [RockMongo](http://rockmongo.com/wiki/installation?lang=en_us): a PHP web admin interface
 - [RoboMongo](http://robomongo.org/): a shell-centric GUI
