  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  6. 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…

  7. 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.

  8. Add Elastic integration to Atlas

    Add support to send cluster metrics to Elastic. Elastic has recently been putting a lot of work into their APM and logging solution, this is now a viable alternative to NewRelic and Datadog and is gaining traction. It would be great if Atlas supported sending metrics to Elastic. Please see below for references

    https://www.elastic.co/apm
    https://www.elastic.co/siem

    The use case for this is the same as NewRelic or Datadog. I wish to monitor my Atlas clusters from inside Elastic, create dashboards and set up alerting

  9. Ability to search for filter conditions in Atlas Alert builder

    It would be helpful to be able to search for a trigger condition in the Alert builder when creating/editing an alert.

    Currently, you need to scroll to find specific conditions, but the list is long so it can take some time to find the particular one needed.

  10. Show driver/application/user metadata in Query Profiler query summaries

    It would be helpful if the Query Profiler showed the driver and user metadata associated with the connection over which a particular query was run.

    After clicking on a particular plotted operation in the Query Profiler, the sidebar pops up and shows execution statistics and structure of the plotted op, but doesn't show anything about the driver/application/user that issued the command.

    This query summary would be more actionable if the driver, driver version, application name, and user were also displayed in the query sidebar (these details may be recorded in a separate log entry from the command itself).

    This information…

  11. Add horizontal scroll bar to metrics tab

    I can't see metrics for all of my nodes while in the metrics tabs unless I make the window very large. It would be much easier to analyze the health of my cluster if I could review metrics for all the nodes by scrolling horizontally, rather than having to switch between a grouping of nodes.

  12. Show node region on the metrics tab

    It would be really useful if the Atlas Metrics tab showed the node name and geographic location similar to how the Cluster Overview tab shows the node's region. In this use case, we have nodes located all over the world, so its useful to know where a node is located when reviewing it's metrics.

  13. Use 24-hour time format in Metrics date pickers

    Timestamps in Metrics plots are displayed in 24-hour time format, but the date/time filter inputs require 12-hour time (using am/pm).

    screenshot: https://p-37FYgJ.b1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/L1upe7Wv/Image%202020-06-25%20at%204.28.22%20PM.png?v=ec3b0551ea4035a207a90ab83817bba6

    12-hour time is not widely used around the world, and it is cumbersome to use in the date pickers especially give that other parts of the UI use 24-hour time.

    Can we update these date pickers to use 24-hour time instead?

  14. Alerts based on Activity Feed - Rollback

    Our main concern is 'Host experienced a rollback' is not an alert option!

    Ideally, anything that shows up in the activity feed should be available as an alert.

  16. New view with connection statistics

    It would be valuable to have a per-cluster view showing an overview of connections into each cluster including:

    • The number of connections per hours (opened, closed == churn)
    • Which IPs connections are coming from and how many from each over time
    • What drivers are being used for these connections and from which IPs
    • Which user is opening the connections

    This information can be very useful in understanding which applications/microservices are opening up the most connections, and helping to find old drivers etc.

  17. Splunk connector for Atlas

    We need a way to easily ingest logs into Splunk. It needs to be all logs - node and web portal activity. Ideally a Splunk connector would be provided but a stop-gap measure would be the ability to configure Atlas to write all logs to an Azure storage account.

    Lack of native log ingestion ability may be an Atlas deal killer for us.

  18. Disk Usage Breakdown

    When looking at the cluster page, I can see Disk Usage = 1.6GB, for example, but I don't know what the breakdown of that is. For instance, if I look at the same DB and add up the size of the collections themselves it's barely 1.5MB. So 1.6 Gig disk = 1.5 Meg data. I suspect this is oplog etc. but it is a pretty confusing potential red herring when diagnosing performance issues etc.

  19. Profiler should only watch queries from certain users

    It would be useful to provide the profiler an "allowlist" and "denylist" of users to watch queries from. Essentially, it is only useful to receive alerts and profiler reports for queries made by actual applications. It is not useful to have alerts show up for one-off queries made by a DB admin using a DB explorer.
