  1. Improve "Host has index suggestions"" alert by including the hostname

    The "Host has index suggestions" alert notification does not contain any reference to the host/deployment that triggered it making it hard to figure out where it came from. A hostname reference would be very helpful.

  2. Custom replica set tags

    Currently Atlas comes with pre-defined Replica set tags such as Provider, Node Types, Region.. But as of now no options for user-defined tags.
    Please provide options for custom/user-defined replica set tags.

  3. Make RSS feed entries more consistent

    We would like to consume your status RSS feed to help us programmatically warn our internal groups when you have issues in a given region. One problem that we see with this is that the messages that we have seen posted are pretty inconsistent with how they specify regions. Examples: Oregon (us-west-2), AWS EU-WEST-2, AWS Sao Paulo. It would be very helpful to us, and probably your other customers as well, if the messages were more consistent in how they reference AWS regions.

  4. Manually replace / restart virtual machine

    Allow to replace / restart the underlying virtual machine of a node.

    Sometimes this is all that is needed to get a cluster out of an unhealthy state. Currently, only support seem to be able to do this.

  5. Allow bulk changes to alerts - e.g. changing slack channel

    Changes alerts is really painful. For one thing, pressing the Enter key doesn't close the dialog and nor does pressing Escape.

    This makes it really painful to change something simple like the slack channel used for alerts.

  6. Add a monitoring that always shows the current primary

    When there's an election and the primary changes, it's hard to get a good view on how does the primary functions in a macro fashion.
    Please add a monitoring column (or an equivalent solution) that can show the monitoring information for the primary at the time, so I could look at the past month or so, and see how does the primary performed, even if it was a different server every time.

    This will make it much easier to understand various actions we take like changing indexes, improving queries, upgrading the database version, upgrading the driver, etc.

  7. Disk throughput in monitoring

    Currently we have disk IOPS in monitoring (both read and write).
    One of the metrics that play a role to decide whether to have a provisioned disk or not, at least with AWS hosting, is the disk bandwidth.
    For instance with a large enough disk, like 2000GB, I have max 250MB/s bandwidth with an unprovisioned (gp2) disk (the maximum), but could go to 500MB/s with a provisioned (io1) disk of that size.

  8. Credits by period

    Provide the ability to display and export credits by period (from date - to date) instead of selecting each single month, so that uers can easily display credit trends, etc. without downloading a lot of cvs and merge them togheter.

  9. Allow log level to be configured per cluster/node

    Atlas clusters don't support the setParameter command and, as a result, users aren't able to configure log levels. I understand the reasoning behind not exposing permissions to run setParameter to DB users so, in lieu of that, it would really helpful if Atlas users were able to configure log levels through the Atlas UI, preferably at the Node or Cluster level.

    Thanks!

  10. More detailed update status

    It would be amazingly helpful to see more detailed information on recovering nodes. Just knowing that the node is, for example, "81% of the way on initial sync" is much more informational (and lets users know that it isn't stuck) as compared to the node being in "Startup2" recovery.

  11. Graph connections per user (or per database)

    Show a graph of connections per user.

    It would be very useful to see how many connections each user has (or also, each db) over time.

    It would allow us to see more clearly and faster which service uses how many connections.

  12. Add a Transaction Commits / Sec Metric Graph to Atlas

    Add a graph in Atlas to display "transactions.totalCommitted" on a per second basis to the Atlas metrics UI. Customers that are using transactions are often more interested in the # of transaction commits per second than opcounters.

    I have had to use mongostat on a number customer evaluations because this metric is not available.

  13. Allow custom date range to be submitted in Query Profiler

    Currently the Query Profiler can plot queries that were logged up to 24 hours in the past.

    It would be helpful to allow for visualization of a custom date range older than 24 hours ago, rather than only queries logged within the past 24 hours. This could help with RCAs for events that occurred more than 1 day ago, and also help teams who collaborate to investigate queries over a time period longer than 1 day.

  14. Extend sub-hourly metrics retention to 72 hours

    Right now the 1- and 5-minute metric data is lost after 48 hours (when it is combined into the hourly data). This makes it impossible to take a close look, on a weekday, at an event that occurred over the weekend.

    It would be nice to be able to look at a problem on the weekend and say "I'll look at this more closely on Monday", and then have the ability to actually investigate it on Monday.

  15. Allow to resend alert to a PagerDuty service

    Like with other type of alert targets (Send to), we would like to be able to resend an alert to PagerDuty.

    The reason is that an alert sent to PagerDuty can be mistakenly resolved but the real issue is still there, and the alert is still firing in Atlas.

    Because it is already firing, it won't fire again so from that moment on, there is no way to get a notification of that alert so we might be missing a real issue.

  16. Publish statistics in Atlas to analyze what is filling oplog

    It would be very useful to be able to see metrics/statistics about the contents of oplog. There are open-source tools like oplog analyzer (https://github.com/mhelmstetter/oplog-analyzer) that can be used, but it's a hassle to have to install it and run it in the same datacenter where the database is running (for performance).

    The statistics I'm most interested is what collections have most oplog documents, what kind of operations they have been and what is the total size that each collection currently utilizes from the oplog. This will help improving code to use less oplog.

    We've seen cases where bad…

  17. Precautionary Change/Recommendations for Shard Drops

    If a user submits a configuration change to drop a shard, Atlas will sift through the cluster metrics and advise any necessary changes needed in order to complete the change without any errors/delays. For example, it will share the correct number of IOPS/cluster tier that needs to be used since the workload to drain a shard will increase; as well as other precautionary measures that should happen prior to dropping the shard (i.e. balancer needs to be turned on, etc).

  19. Better message for "Removed Indexes" in Activity Feed during Atlas rolling index build

    During a rolling index build, it is expected to have 2 "Deployment configuration published" notifications - 1 for Added Indexes and another 1 for Removed Indexes. This is because an entry for this desired index is added to the automation config and then the automation agent builds it accordingly. Once the agent is done building it, we remove the entry for that index from the automation config. Indeed, this does not drop the index.

    However, from the term of "Removed Indexes", it can cause confusion that the index is dropped. Hence, this feature request is filed for clearer message so…

  20. Identification and labelling of MongoDB connections

    It'd be REALLY useful if there was an ability to provide a label (basically a string) when creating a new connection to MongoDB from an application, to say where the connection is coming from.

    For example we use a bunch of microservices and each API sets up a new connection. It'd be very useful to be able to see how many connections each API has at any given point, as it'd allow us to determine if the microservice is misbehaving with the database etc.
