  1. Database users should be able to change their own passwords

    Currently, there is no way for Database Users to manage their own passwords, (even if they are atlasAdmin@admin). Moreover, as a Project Owner, I cannot create a role that allows them to do so, e.g.:

    use admin
db.createRole(
   { role: "changeOwnPasswordRole",
     privileges: [
        {
          resource: { db: "", collection: ""},
          actions: [ "changeOwnPassword"]
        }
     ],
     roles: []
   }
)

    As such, changing passwords always requires a Project Owner setting the new password and sharing it with the Database User. This is a problem, because user-password combinations known by more than one person do not serve as proof of identity.

  3. Budget limit for serverless pay as you go mode

    I was looking at the serverless pay-as-you-go option for my DB so I could have continuous backup and snapshots but I found it too risky. Currently, the only protection user has is alerts when RPUs go over a certain budget threshold. I would like to be able to set a budget limit that would prevent me from going over pre-set daily budget. If you would get hit with DOS or some other brute force attack you could rack up lots of traffic and get an unexpected bill without a potential limit.

  4. Display Recovery time during restore process.

    Team,

    Currently Mongo DB restoration process not giving any recovery time estimate when restore process start and because of that we are not able to plan time window for other critical process to start which is depend on restore and not able to communicate exact time when system will be available.

    Please include this feature in upcoming release.

  5. Enforced Password Complexity

    Please allow for the enforcement of password complexity:
    - Setting a password policy that restricts users to a certain level of complexity (e.g 10 chars with special characters)

  6. Progress bar

    when upgrading cluster / instance from one instance type to other on shared instance for example from M2 to M5, there should be some sort of progress bar exhibited tracking progress of upgrade

  7. collection-level users should be able to list their collections

    Currently users with collection-specific read or read/write permissions are not authorized to perform the following commands:

    db.listCollections()
    show collections
    db.getCollectionNames()

    This impacts the shell (and also third party tools that won't let users access their permitted collections because the list of collections is blocked in the first place)

    Suggestion:

    Users with collection-specific read or read/write permissions should be able to run the above commands and the result would only present the collections for which the user has some read or write privileges (instead of blocking everything).

  8. Metadata (Created Date) for database accounts

    We frequently have audit questions about when a given user was created in our Mongo databases. Other DBMSs (Oracle, for instance) have a 'CREATED' field in a metadata table (i.e. DBA_USERS) that shows when a user was created, and this would be very helpful when responding to these audits.

  11. Query Planner needs a timeOut set as a Database parameter.

    Query Planner needs a timeOut set as a Database parameter.

    We see App queries timing out on Query planner taking >1 sec. Whilst this can be avoided by setting maxTimeMS at client end - this is more of a setting for the overall query and not just the query planner - Also, this comes at the risk of closing/timing out the actual query (cursor) which is not our need.

    We only want the query planner itself to have a specific - set/customisable timeout and the query to keep running selecting one/any if the plans run thus far without timing out…

  12. mongodump - add support for nsInclude/nsExclude

    Currently mongodump supports the excludeCollection/includeCollection options but this requires the use of the --db option. It would be useful if mongodump was able to dump all databases, as it does by default, but also be able to specify a collection or collections not to dump.

  13. Disallow new connections that don't specify an appName field

    Currently as a DBA it's sometimes hard to identify which service is causing load on a shared cluster/database. Some people connect for adhoc workloads but don't specify an appName making it hard to track back to the owner. It would be useful to require appName for connections to a cluster to enforce this behavior.

  14. Support retrieving all connections info from clients to mongodb

    Support retrieving all connections info from clients to mongodb, not just those running commands returned by currentOp(). OS command netstat can return all ip info, but it does not contain the relation ino between ip and database such database name and user. It's a common function in relation database, e.g. 'show processlist' command in mysql. And it's useful when we try to migrate to a new MongoDB cluster, we need to find out all the clients connected to the original mongodb.

  15. AWS IAM Role integration with MongoDB On premise

    We are planning to integrate AWS IAM Roles/Users with MongoDB On-premise for password-less authentication. So the authentication happens through IAM Profile. However, we noticed currently MongoDB on-premise doesn't support AWS IAM Role integration. This is a blocker. We want the authentication would happen through AWS IAM Profile rather than Standard Credentials.
    This would eliminate or significantly reduce the use of Database Credentials while tightly integrating with AWS Services. Simultaneously, applications can securely connect to MongoDB via AWS Profile.

  16. DB Snapshot triggers when RDS Snapshot starts.

    Looking for a feature regarding DB Snapshots, so that we can configure a Snapshot Policy to be triggered whenever a specific AWS RDS snapshot starts (for the daily schedule).

    Thank you in advance.

  17. Allow live migration using private interface

    There should be an option to live migrate data via a private interface instead of public one. With VPC being peered, it would be a great option to avoid exposing database to the public interface (even if it's specific set of IPs). This can resolve concerns of many customers who are following or need to follow some short of compliance on their end.

  19. Multi-version-intermediate upgrade package

    When upgrading the MongoDB server community edition from a very old version to the newest version one cannot skip installing intermediate versions, e. g. version 3.6 -> 4.4 does not work because the database files cannot be auto-migrated and the FeatureCompatibilityVersion is too low on 3.6 (or not existent).

    Instead we have to install 3.6 -> 4.0 -> 4.2 -> 4.4 and execute db.adminCommand( { setFeatureCompatibilityVersion: "..." } ) appropriately in between installing each new version.

    I propose creating an additional installer package for Linux which takes care of all that to migrate the internal database structure from the installed…

  20. Have an API to have the History of Primary Nodes

    Have an API to have the History of Primary Nodes,from the time the Replica set is initiated.I know we can have alerts for Primary switch over,but if we want to analyse the data of elections/primary node for say about last 1 year , an API would help.
