  1. Ability to schedule "Hedged read" Turn on/off

    Customer experienced read latency during maintenance after sharding.
    Our guidance is to turn on "Hedged read" option.
    So the customer need to turn on/off "Hedged read" before/after maintenance, because turning on "hedged read" increase CPU usage that means server cost increasing.

    Currently "hedged read" on/off can be done by technical support from MongoDB but this feature is needed for operational efficiency and reducing human error.

  2. Misleading error message when connecting to MongoDB Atlas with wrong password

    When you connect to MongoDB Atlas from your application with wrong password using Mongoose, you get error message:

    "Could not connect to any servers in your MongoDB Atlas cluster. Make sure your current IP address is on your Atlas cluster's IP whitelist: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/security-whitelist "

    even though your IP address is whitelisted.

    Very frustrating and misleading error message, please fix this!!

  3. Helpful error message when restoring backup

    When I recently attempted to restore a db backup I got a cryptic error message stating "Error: Cluster Not Found"--which was extremely confusing considering that I pressed the restore button in the backup options. After some great tech support, I added my user as project owner and everything worked fine.

    Please make the error message clearer in both the Restore and Download backup scenarios.

  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).

  5. Implement SCRAM-SHA-256 mechanism for Atlas or make a SCRAM-SHA-1 as default

    The main problem is inconsistency in the default authentication mechanism of clients and Atlas.

    This causes a failover from SCRAM-SHA-256 to SCRAM-SHA-1 by clients on authentication failure.

    This causes a huge number of errors in "Database Access History" which becomes useless.

  6. Allow customization of where $merge creates the temp collection used when rehydrating data from Online Archive --> Atlas

    When you restore data from the Online Archive back into your Atlas cluster (aka "rehydrate") you need to use $merge within an aggregation pipeline. What isn't documented is that $merge will create a temporary collection in the same database you're rehydrating to, which requires that you have readWrite@<dbName> privileges so that the new collection can be created.

    For customers that operate on the "principle of least privilege," where you only grant literally exactly what is needed to accomplish database CRUD operations, the user would the more narrowly scoped "readWrite@<dbName>.<collName>" privilege granted to the user to scope the actions to only…

  7. Editing custom Role and Action toggle issue

    When adding or editing a custom role in Atlas - When I expand/collapse the Actions or Roles in dropdown, it also toggles the checkboxes. So, when I want to see the roles and actions available, it also checks/unchecks the checkbox, which makes editing the actions in roles difficult.

    Please click on highlighted areas in Atlas, as shown in screenshot attached

    Thanks.

  8. Allow killing operations in the RTPP without having to enable the Data Explorer

    Please prioritise the decoupling of the ability to kill operations in the Real Time Performance Panel from the Data Explorer.

    Currently we disable the Data Explorer on our production projects so that our developers can view the Profiler and the Metrics, without being able to query the actual data. But disabling the Data Explorer prevents us from killing operations in the Real Time Performance Panel. While reenabling the Data Explorer is an easy task, it's very easy to forget the one needs to do this in order to be able to kill operations as they do not seem related in…

  9. improve error messaging

    We are running into misleading error messages that learners are complaining about. This error appears when a user tries to use a $limit stage and forgets to add a $ while connected to a Free Tier Atlas cluster:
    "OperationFailure: limit is not allowed in this atlas tier, full error: {'ok': 0, 'errmsg': 'limit is not allowed in this atlas tier', 'code': 8000, 'codeName': 'AtlasError'}":
    This has been confusing for users. Is there a way that we can catch this issue more precisely and issue a syntax error instead?

  10. Update the regex used to split a database user import id to match the database name constraint

    Hello,

    While doing terraform import of the mongo db users, i'm facing an issue with the mongo terraform provider.

    The database name contains an underscore so my imported user ID is 5ceClusterId-username-my_database.

    I've got the following error when i launch my terraform import:
    Error: error splitting database User info from ID
    │ import format error: to import a Database User, use the format {projectid}-{username}-{authdatabase_name}

    Indeed the mongo tf provider uses a regex to split this ID and doesn't allow characters for db name others than $a-z.
    => https://github.com/mongodb/terraform-provider-mongodbatlas/blob/ebb67f86165e0a364e486e769678377db507f005/internal/service/databaseuser/resource_database_user.go#L349

    Is it possible to update the regex to allow others…

  11. zoom resolution icons

    At certain browser (Chrome) zoom settings, the checkboxes disappear. Boxes that are unchecked remain, but some (not all) of the checked boxes are just not shown.
    Unfortunately I have to use these zoom levels (67%) to be able to see sufficient information on my dashboards. Can the icons (checked boxes) be made to appear properly (not blank) at all zoom levels?

  12. Atlas Capacity Check for Cluster Creation or Changes

    When creating large new clusters sometimes Atlas does not have enough resources available from the cloud provider. When this happens a restore or cluster change fails without reporting what the actual issue is.

    Solution: Verify available capacity and issue a warning or error if it is possible that the operation will fail & recommend opening a support ticket (or have a dialog to automatically do so listing the details)

  13. Copy/move snapshots from a source to a target cluster

    It is recommended that restoring a cluster must either:
    1) Restore to a new Atlas cluster and reconfigure your application to use that new cluster once the new deployment is running, or,
    2) Ensure that the target Atlas cluster cannot receive client requests while you restore data.
    (src https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/backup/cloud-backup/restore/#prerequisites)

    While doing a PIT restore with the source and target cluster being the same, our clusters have gone into a "down" state 3 times due to obscure errors, opslog not being large enough, or writes happening to the cluster during restore.

    We would like to take the safer route…

  14. 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,…

  15. Allow NewRelic integration to use EU APIs instead of default US APIs for clusters in EU region

    The NewRelic integration in MongoDB is using the default NewRelic API that is in non-EU region. There is a separate API endpoint for EU region, that is described at https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/using-new-relic/welcome-new-relic/get-started/introduction-eu-region-data-center#.

    This is causing 'newRelicLicenseKey' failed to authenticate error for the MongoDB Atlas cluster setup in EU region.

    1)User A login inot Mongo Portal
    2) He selects an organization and sends an invitation to User B
    3) Now in the Activity Feed menu we can see User B was invited to the organization
    4)Before the user B accepts the invitation , User A goes and deletes the pending invitation
    5)Nothing is shown in activity feed.

    This would help products which are integrating with MongoDB atlas to get the true status of pending invitations.

  17. Ability to customize the name of the invite sender in emails when inviting users via API

    When inviting new Atlas Users to organizations via the API, the invite email says that the invite was sent by the API public key that performed the API call. This makes the invitation emails read like this:

    "You have been invited by tfqzvwrs to join the Example - Atlas organization on MongoDB Atlas."

    The ability to customize this (e.g. using an additional field in the request body) would be ideal since the random string being shown as the sender of the invite could make the email look suspect.

  19. Support migration of existing projects, clusters, ... to be CloudFormation managed

    When MongoDB::Atlas::* resources are created and the specifed project, cluster, ... already exists, then these resources should not raise an error on resource creation but use the existing project, cluster, ... and apply the given configuration. In other words, the Create event that is initially sent by CloudFormation should be handled similar to an Update event but return the physical id of already existing resources. Apparently, this behaviour should be enabled by an opt-in flag.

  20. 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.
