How to enable ReadConcernMajority in MongoDB 3.6.3

Question

I'm running a MongoDB 3.6.3 with pymongo. I would like to use watch on a collection but it returns the following error: ReadConcernMajorityNotEnabled. Can anyone tell me how to enable it please?

thanks

Read concern majority should be enabled by default in MongoDB 3.6 but there are several requirements to note if you have upgraded from a prior major MongoDB release or changed default configuration values.

Server configuration settings to check:

• Your deployment is using the WiredTiger storage engine

  db.serverStatus().storageEngine should include "name": "wiredTiger"

  If you need to change this, see: Change Replica Set to WiredTiger.

• Replication is enabled with protocol version 1 (pv1)

  rs.conf().protocolVersion should be NumberLong("1")

  If you need to change this, see: Modify Replica Set Protocol Version.

• 3.6 feature compatibility is enabled

  db.adminCommand({getParameter: 1, featureCompatibilityVersion: 1}) should include "version": "3.6"

  If you need to change this, see: Enable backwards-incompatible 3.6 features.
