Suggested actions for alerts
Alerts are often very cryptic & don't provide any useful information. For example, when alerting that queries are returning too many rows, without informing me the query or at least the collection, that's very useless. I'm looking at a replication oplog window alert right now and I have no idea what to do about it.

Add alerts on disk IOPS and CPU IOWAIT %
To help catch heavy disk workloads before they become problematic, it would be great to have alerts on:
- disk IOPS percentage utilization for disks without burstable IOPS
- burst credit utilization for disks with burstable IOPS
- CPU IOWAIT %78 votes -

Add the ability to trigger alerts for testing purposes
It would be useful to have a "Test Alert" button for each configured alert in order to integrate and test alerts with third-party systems. Otherwise, it is difficult if not impossible to determine what the alert will look like until it is triggered.

Include Human-Friendly Cluster Names in Alert Notifications
Please include the human-friendly cluster/host names in Monitoring Alert Notifications (e.g. email, PagerDuty, etc) in addition to, or instead of, the less clear internal cluster/hostnames (i.e. atlas-abcdef-shard-0).

Allow Alerts to be disabled during Atlas performed Maintenances
When Atlas is performing maintenances such as setting changes and OS reboots Alerts will be triggered. It would be helpful to have these Alerts be disabled so that it doesn't cause false alarms or so much noise that they are ignored.

Disable Query Targeting alert notifications for $changeStream operations
Change streams require scanning of the oplog and cannot make use of indexes, meaning that $changeStream operations frequently trigger Query Targeting: Scanned Objects / Returned alerts that cannot be actioned. It would be ideal to allow $changeStream operations to be filtered from the Query Targeting alerts.

Email subject more specific for Alerts
The email Alerts that MongoDB provide are very useful, especially the Oplog and CPU Usage. However, the subject of the emails are not clear and does not specify the Alert type. It is just a generic "Alert". It would be great if MongoDB can add "Alert Oplog" or "Alert CPU Usage" to the email subjects to make them much more clear and helpful. Thanks!

Support node type or node tags as condition in MongoDB Atlas Alert
Currently, the MongoDB Atlas does not support the node types [1] or node tags [2] as the condition in Atlas alerts. That would be super inconvenient for the following scenarios.
Scenario 1: If the user wants to create an alert to monitor the specific node type, such as READ_ONLY node or ANALYTICS nodes, there is no convenient way to achieve it. The current approach must set up the alert by using the hardcode hostname.
Scenario 2: If the user has some electable nodes and a analytics node in a cluster, and wants to focus on monitoring the electable nodes (workload),…

MMS Alert for Balancer Down status
please provide an option in Ops Manager to monitor the balancer status and add to alerts?
So, we will know if balancer is not running.Note:
Normally the balancer would be disabled during backups and during a scheduled Balancing Window downtime.
I believe that the Balancer has a duty cycle of either 10 secs when nothing recently to balance, or 1 sec when there's a bunch of balancing to do.
Any alert would need to account for these:
the changelog shows chunk moves commanded
the actionlog shows balancer state change history
the settings collection has the balancer state18 votes -

Improve "Query Targeting Alerts" alert by including the database name and collection name
The "Query Targeting Alerts" alert notification does not contain any reference to the database or collection that triggered it making it hard to figure out where it came from. A hostname reference would be very helpful.

Improve the "host is down" alert by eliminating false positive alerts
Currently, whenever an index build is kicked off on a replica set, it tends to trigger a "host is down" alert. Although this is benign and a false positive alert the on-call DBA has to wake up in the middle of a night when this alert pages us to make sure the host is NOT DOWN. When the monitoring agent tries to ping a node (where index build is running) and fails to communicate with it, it tends to think that the host is down and triggers this alert, although the host is up and running. When an index build…

Alert - Network & Security
Ability to setup alerts on the project to notify if any user added network ranges / IP's to access the database cluster.
You can see the activity in the feed but there is no options available to set alert for such?

Add alert setting for cluster being auto-scaled up or down
Hi,
I'd like to set up a slack hook to our #emergency room when the cluster is being automatically scaled up/down.
In the project settings in the Alerts / Alert Settings section there are ways how to email/slack notify on some events: maintenance events, index suggestions or even Disk I/O % utilization and may more...
Though somehow I'm unable to modify the behaviour when the cluster is auto-scaled up due to high CPU/RAM usage for 1 hour.
Would love to see this alert type in the settings among the rest of other alerts.

Atlas Alert for Remaining Credits
MongoDB will email Atlas customer when the prepaid Atlas credit is estimated to be exhausted within 30 days.
However, it would be good to have an alert for this in Atlas, e.g.
Alert if the remaining prepaid amount is lower than ... <an amount>

Early-Warning Alert for AWS PrivateLink Limits in MongoDB Atlas
Problem
- Cluster create/scale fails only after AWS PrivateLink endpoint quota is exhausted.
Request
- Add a threshold-based alert (e.g. 80 % of limit) via UI banner + email / webhook.
Benefit
- Prevents surprise downtime, lets admins request AWS quota increases or clean up unused endpoints in advance, and cuts support tickets.
Quick Implementation Ideas
Show current usage vs. limit in Network Access → PrivateLink and Admin API.
Allow per-project alert threshold.
Display projected endpoint use on the Review & Deploy screen.

Add correlated IP address to network access alerts
Hi team, we need to monitor when a specific IP address is added to network access.
Now there's an option to monitor this action, however, we are not getting the added IP address in the alert summary or body.9 votes
