No simple visualization for AWS DocumentDB like in mongodb?

Question

I created an AWS documentDB cluster and started aggregating it with data, but unlike mongodb you can't access your data to visualize it in the AWS console (for example seeing the list of the collections). Isn't there something obvious I am missing?

I have seen a blog post about using Microsoft Power BI but as I struggled to setup a tunnel ssh to access this db from my device this does not seem ideal. Any solutions?

Thanks.

A somewhat simple approach to access the database is setting up a Cloud9 development environment and use that inspect the data: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/part-2-getting-started-with-amazon-documentdb-using-aws-cloud9/

This way you can use any tool you prefer without the the hassel of creating SSH tunnels.
