  1. Show Cursor Not Found Errors (telemetry)

    We have a lot of cursor not found errors and currently there isn't an easy way to locate them at the Atlas integrated monitoring.
    It would be nice to have this feature.

  2. Show Index Error on UI

    When creating an index on your UI, if the index creation gives an error, the error doesn't show on the UI, for example if you have a field of type string, and have a value longer than 1024 bytes, and try to create a normal index on this field, the UI will tell you the index it's been creating successfully, but when you go to your collection and see your indexes, this will not appear, but when you create it on the MongoDB console, it gives the following error. It would be nice to have this error shown on the…

  3. Indicate operation errors already in the plan phase

    This idea originates from my original bug report: https://github.com/mongodb/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas/issues/284

    Changing the name of an existing custom_db_role is currently not possible without ending in an error in the apply step. The plan for a name change currently indicates the replacement due to the name change:

    # module.versioner.mongodbatlas_custom_db_role.this must be replaced
    -/+ resource "mongodbatlas_custom_db_role" "this" {
        ~ id         = "someid" -> (known after apply)
            project_id = "5c860ed2a6f2396cd47f4785"
        ~ role_name  = "old_name" -> "newName" # forces replacement
    

    Applying this results in the following error:

    Error: error deleting custom db role (mongoversioner): DELETE https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0/groups/projectid/customDBRoles/roles/old_name: 409 (request "Conflict") Deleting specified custom role would leave the…

  4. Alert when a snapshot restore succeeds/fails

    Simply send an email alert when a restore finishes (or errors).

    This is important for us because we run a restore (from prod to qa) every weekend and it takes over 14 hours. If it fails, we need to know so we can quickly kick it off again before Monday. Otherwise the QA team will be dead in the water.

  5. Atlas Shard Management

    Currently the Atlas UI only presents options for how many shards a cluster can have.

    Putting in a suggestion to perhaps allow similar functionality / features to Cloud Manager's shard management as shown : https://docs.cloudmanager.mongodb.com/tutorial/manage-data-sharding/#manage-sharded-collections

  6. API - Version 2

    We saw that the api version is now in v2 for some resources (as clusters) - https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/api-resources-spec/v2/#tag/Clusters/

    We tried to change some App services functions from v1 to v2, but ended resulting in some errors (or needing to add more parameters than the original one - in version 1).
    Using version 1, we only inform what we need to change ("instanceSize") plus the providerName.

    to use version 2, we need to inform all this parameters (if it's a replica-set. If it is a sharding we also need to inform the numShards):
    "replicationSpecs":[{"regionConfigs":[{"electableSpecs":{"instanceSize":"M10","nodeCount":"3"},"priority":"7","providerName":"GCP","regionName":"CENTRAL_US"}]}]}

    What I need to change is only the…

  7. Standardize case for region values

    Depending on the resource, the case for the region value changes from uppercase with underscores (US_ EAST _1) to lowercase with dashes (us-east-1). This presents an unnecessary challenge when working with the provider. It would be much cleaner, easier to work with, and prone to fewer errors if all resources accepted us-east-1.

  8. Display the error code within Atlas UI if an index fails

    When creating an index via the Atlas UI, the interface currently does not display the error code if the index build fails. This lack of visibility makes it difficult for customers to understand the cause of failure without contacting support.

    This limitation is particularly impactful for unique index creation. In these cases, mongod validates constraints only at the end of the build process. If duplicate keys are found, the index build fails after consuming significant time and resources — but the Atlas UI does not surface the underlying E11000 duplicate key error (or other relevant error codes).

    If I submit…

  9. Live Migrate modal: Allow users to point and click to select another Atlas source cluster

    It is often practical to Live Migrate from one Atlas cluster to another Atlas cluster (e.g. to create another staging environment if backups are not enabled on the source, or migrate a production/staging environment to another dedicated project with minimal downtime).

    Currently, the Live Migrate modal requires connection details from the source cluster, including the hostname of the primary, port, etc. Validation will fail if there are typos/errors in these inputs.

    It would be easier to have a point-and-click option to "Migrate from another Atlas cluster" -- it could be a drop-down menu with names of other Atlas clusters…

  10. Show queries that exceeded maxTimeMs in the Atlas Profiler

    We had some queries hit the maxTimeMS and fail. We had to download the log files for visibility into those errors. That is info that we would love to see in the Profiler!

  11. Possibility to change 'frequency_type' of snapshot backup policy item via Terraform

    Hi,

    I’m facing an issue about Snapshot Backup Policy creation/modification via Terraform ( FYI, I open a case to the support of MongoDB  https://support.mongodb.com/case/00668262). Let me explain :

    When I want to create a MongoAtlas Cluster via terraform, I want to apply a custom Snahsphot Backup Policy with ONLY 2 items during the creation of the cluster :
    N° Item Frequency type Frequency Retention
    0 Daily 1 7 Days
    1 Weekly 1 (Saturday) 4 weeks

    However, during the creation of the mongo atlas cluster, I can see an error
    Error: Error applying plan:

    1 error occurred:
    * module.cluster…

    The Cloud Backup policy has been completely reworked as of provider version 1.0.0, with a few more fixes in 1.0.1 (coming shortly). This should address the pain points that have been raised here and elsewhere.

  12. Show Mongos Connection Number in Overview.

    Currently, the connection number shown in Overview is shard connection, it is the connection from Mongos to Mongod, which should usually be lower than the Mongos connection.
    The connection limit for MongoDB is referring to Mongos connection which should be shown in overview or otherwise very misleading when we received connection % alert.

  13. Cluster Termination Protection

    It is possible to quickly delete an entire cluster, for example through terraform, if you're not careful.

    It would be great to have a "Termination Protection" feature that can only be disabled in the Admin UI and not via the public APIs.

    In terraform I could then enable it like so

    
    
    resource "mongodbatlas_cluster" "my_cluster" {
      enable_delete_protection = true
    }
    

    When I would run terraform destroy the cluster should not be destroyed and instead the API returns an error saying that the Cluster has Termination Protection enabled. If I want to disable it, I can login to the Admin UI, select…

  14. disabling snapshots

    When we disable de snapshot from one cluster, the following message is shown in the same page but it does not appear at the page that shows the changes that are being made

    It would be better if this message were also at the second page (as image uploaded)

    Please Note: This action is irreversible. Turning off or altering your type of backup will delete all of your existing snapshots immediately. If you want to keep old versions of your data, visit the backup dashboard and download your snapshots

  15. Show date in UI DB Stats axes

    Show date in UI DB Stats axes

    Currently the x-axis of DB Stats charts do not show dates, making it difficult to interpret the range of time displayed in the chart.

    For example, you can see in the date menu shown in the attached image that the chart range is over 4 days, but this is not apparent in the x-axis of each chart -- the x-axis only shows one reference time of 07:00.

    It would be more helpful if the axis showed a reference date in addition to the time, and ideally a couple dates so that it is…

  18. Support Google IdP for OIDC Workforce Federation

    The Atlas supports federated login with external Identity Providers via OIDC (https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/workforce-oidc/) for authenticating human users in tools like mongosh or Mongo Compass.

    Unfortunately the OIDC login doesn't work with the GCP IdP: OAuth2 clients in Google IdP always have a client secret (even clients considered as "public"). There is no way to specify the client secret in Atlas UI in the Workload Federation configuration and this leads to "invalidrequest (clientsecret is missing.)" error returned from the IdP as it always expects a client secret to be present.

    The support of an optional client secret in…

  20. Show warning when user is configured with access to invalid resources

    When an invalid resource is specified in data plane user's access policy ("grant access to") authentication errors are misleading.

    For Example: if user "John" is limited access to cluster "xo" but cluster is created as "x0" by mistake, when John is authenticated against "x0" we simply get "user not found error" in client.

    If the Atlas UI can highlight the potential error, that cluster "xo" is not found, as cluster cannot be implicitly created. it will save valuable time for developers debugging entitlement issues.
