      • Configure a mongod with security.kmip.rotateMasterKey like the following: 
        security:
   enableEncryption: true
   kmip:
      rotateMasterKey: false
      serverName: localhost

      • Start the mongod
      • In corresponding mongod log, look for master key rotation related entries. For instance: 
        2018-01-18T00:24:25.408+0000 I STORAGE  [initandlisten] Rotated master encryption key from id 2 to id 4.

      Hi,

      According to the document security.kmip.rotateMasterKey is boolean. However, the value of this option in configuration files does not matter. So long as this option presents in a configuration file, be it "true" or "false", rotate master key is enabled. The only way to disable it is to remove this option from the configuration file. I think this is a little confusing. I expected setting the value to "false" should do the same as taking this option out of the configuration file, just as how other boolean options work.

      Regards,
      Lungang
