  2. Export profiler slow queries via Datadog integration

    The "profiler" tab in Atlas is very nice -- it gives a really nice over-all view of slow queries, with the ability to drill down into the individual calls.

    However, I don't check this page every day, and so it is sometimes hard to find out when we actually do have slow queries or commands pop up on it if it is not affecting our cluster.

    We use datadog as the central point for all of our monitoring. We have the Atlas <--> Datadog integration set up, which exports a number of useful stats. It would be very nice for…

  3. Display Total Cluster Data Size in Atlas UI

    Atlas doesn't display the total data size of the databases hosted on the sharded cluster. This feature was available in Opsmanager and will be very helpful for the DBA's and the product development teams to glance at the data size of the cluster.

    Attached the screenshot for example.

    Nice to have or display the size of each database and also display the historical datasize metric for each database in a sharded cluster.

  4. Metric on TTLDeleted documents

    Hi,
    We (Indeed, inc.) are one of your larger customers with more than $2M spend on Atlas in a year. We need a metric on number of TTL Deleted documents per second for an Atlas Cluster. We have similar metric on our standard mongodb plugin in Datadog and this is extremely useful to all our Product Teams because most of our clusters have TTL.
    Thanks.

  5. Last Database User Access

    My team has found ourselves in the position of needing to iterate through the Database Access History Logs in order to discover whether or not a database user is still being used for the past t time periods.

    We need to have this functionality in order to guarantee a seamless credential rotation.

    With the current API this operation will require iterating over each cluster's access logs for the past t time periods. If I have "n" clusters and "t" time periods this is an O(n * t) runtime. I'm not really great at O() notation, but if t is greater…

  6. Display EBS actual disk information (gp3)

    Currently, clusters created on AWS have gp3 volumes according to support.

    However :
    * the configuration displays max IOPS 6000 for M50 clusters even though documentation states that iops scale 3:1 with the volume size in GB (1 GB = 3 IOPS) regardless of disk type for M30+ clusters (true with gp2 anwyay, for gp3 that's an enforcement by Atlas)
    Documentation link : https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/customize-storage/#configuring-the-iops-rate

    => the configuration should at least display the actual IOPS (as it's also being used for alerting) - ideally it would allow us to have more IOPS than the minimum 3:1 enforcement.

    • with gp2 we had…

  9. Display the Atlas-generated replica-set name in the cluster Dashboard

    This is an easy one, and it'll help a lot.

    Inconvenience:

    In the past, every time I created a cluster, the name of the replica-set was in line with the name of the cluster:
    e.g.:
    Cluster Name: asteroids-tracking
    Replicaset Name: asteroids-tracking-shard-0

    Now when I create a cluster, the name of the replica-set is a random set of characters prefixed by "atlas-"
    e.g.:
    Cluster Name: asteroids-tracking
    Replicaset Name: atlas-[randomChars]-shard-0

    This makes it unnecessarily difficult to find (in the Atlas Organization) the cluster referred to when I receive text message alerts. Mainly when you are in charge of so many clusters.
    Additionally,…

  11. 3rd Party Hooks

    Within Atlas today, we have a number of channel options to send alerts (Ex. OpsGenie, Slack, VictorOps).

    I would like to see a hook integration provided by Atlas so any tool can recieve alerts from their cluster. Ex. I can recieve my cluster alert in Microsoft Teams.

    3rd party hooks can increase the stickiness of Atlas and improve freedoms for teams and their existing toolsets.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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…

  16. Monitoring Metrics on dhandle

    We'd like to monitor the WiredTiger dhandle over the time, directly from Cloud Atlas Monitoring view. It would allow to directly see the impact when updating cluster settings.

    We'd like also being able to configure alert triggers on it, the goal for us is being alerted when an excessive amount of files (collections & indexes) is loaded into the MongoDB Memory, to avoid reaching an Out Of Memory error.

  17. Use additional metadata to differentiate processes

    Right now Ops Manager monitoring identifies MongoDB processes according to hostname:port. Unfortunately, if 2 processes have the same short hostname & port in the same Ops Manager project, they'll be treated the same even if they are actually different processes with different FQDN.

    Please either allow the use of additional characteristics (FQDN, replica set name, config server name, etc) for differentiating MongoDB processes or provide some way to tag 2 or more processes so monitoring doesn't accidentally miscategorize them as the same process.

  18. Add support for HTTP based scraping without IP restriction

    Prometheus supports a lot in the HTTP scraping space, including oauth and Bearer token based scrape targets.

    Currently we use Grafana cloud that has a list of IP address that can scrape from. This "can" change, and if it does and we hardcode this access into Atlas based on IP then it will break the scrape.

    Could Mongo add support for token/oauth based scraping. Where we provide these tokens in a HTTPS call?

    I think this would solve the issues with things like private link, or peered network connections. It would also allow "any" prometheus server that can make outbound…

  19. Allow switching between shards in the profiler and/or have a combined view

    Since the profiler tabs are shard specific, it would radically improve the usability to:
    a) Combine the profiler events to truly have a cluster level view so you don’t need to worry about shard specific views
    b) Add a drop-down to the top of the page near the title that has the various shards listed in it, selecting a different shard brings you back to the same tab, but now with the changed view.
    c) Consider tweaking the URL so that rather than using a SHA in the URL, you use the shard name, making it easy to manipulate the…
