Ops Manager: more precise firewall configuration documentation
Currently, it is not clear from the documentation what are the source hosts for each port to open. The diagram fills in a bit this imprecision, but it is not formal enough. Also, some ports need to be open only if certain features are needed (eg. download link for snapshots).
This makes firewall configuration imprecise and experimental (or not as secure as it could be).
Suggestion: each table of the the Ops Manager firewall configuration webpage should document those columns:
- source component: client component(s)
- target component: server component(s)
- protocol: tcp/udp
- port
- feature: to specify if…1 vote -
Ops Manager API call for Host Mappings
This feature request is for a new Group/Project API call for the management of the host mappings created in Ops Manager from monitoring information. Whether it be an endpoint for "Reset Duplicates" or full featured create/delete of individual host mappings, both will alleviate issues where overlapping mappings affect monitoring in Ops Manager.
Note: The issue of overlapping mappings may occur when a mongod process has moved/changed IP addresses multiple times. With enough cycling (as seen in Kubernetes clusters with frequent pod restarts), eventually a previously mapped IP address may now be associated with a different mongod process.

Allow to generate/download MongoDB Server Audit process logs
Problem Statement,
What is the problem? As of now (2021-03-17) Ops Manager does not support downloading MongoDB Server Audit process logs via UI/API. Atlas does have support for it (viaGET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{HOSTNAME}/logs/{LOG-NAME}API call).Why is this a problem? Users needs to be able to download MongoDB Server Audit process logs via Ops Manager, same way as they do for MongoDB Server process logs/FTDC and MongoDB Agent logs (this significantly simplify troubleshooting, when required). Some users require to download MongoDB Server Audit process logs programmatically to store them in Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system.
Proposal,
* Add MongoDB…4 votes -
Do not download EOL releases
Currently our Ops Mgrs keep re-downloading EOL releases of mongodb, e.g. mongodb-linux-x8664-2.6.12, mongodb-linux-x8664-3.0.15, etc. Ops Manager should automatically exclude EOL releases - they are taking up unnecessary disk space.

Add MongoDB user discovery via the API
For users running DBaaS MongoDB products powered by Ops Manager automation, it would be useful if the API provided a way to replicate the cluster import behavior where MongoDB users are automatically discovered. This would help in scenarios where an existing Ops Manager deployment fails, and hundreds of deployments need to be moved to a different Ops Manager without knowing what MongoDB credentials the end user of that deployment had created. Having this API would allow the DBaaS provider's own scripting/automation to orchestrate moving these deployments to a new Ops Manager stack with reduced downtime.

Support migrations to different snapshot stores
Currently it is not possible to transition between snapshot store types.
There are two options currently when transitioning to the new one.
- Terminate backups (deleting all previous snapshots)
- Create a new project and abandon the previous one to allow automated restores at a later time
Both of these options are difficult to manage for large deployments. The first option requires you to store the snapshots elsewhere and disallows automated restores. The second option requires many operations and clutters the Ops Manager project list.
Ideally we should be able to transition from any store location/type to any other location/type. One of…

Add the ability for the backup daemon to download and validate snapshots
In order to test snapshots automatically, create a new job type that allows the Backup Daemon to download the snapshot from the snapshot store, then run validate on each collection.
If any collection fails validation, send an alert to the Backup Admin with the list of corrupted data.

Update automation config through API without pushing entire config file
For updating any Automation managed parameter, the only method through API is involving pushing the entire Automation config (which is a json file of hundreds lines) with modifications/addition all together.
Even though I just want to update one single value.
Is it a bit dangerous that there may be human mistake when modifying such a large json file. Wrong configuration may be push to the server.
Graceful if there is a feature which allow user to partial update the configuration through API.

Allow Ops manager to downgrade FCV
Ops Manager UI (4.0 -4.4) does not allow downgrading of Feature Compatibility Version (FCV), once the FVC has been upgraded to a higher version. Ops Manager automatically
removes the lower version from the supported FCVs once upgrade completes. But the cluster deployment allows downgrading one level using shell commands. This limitation makes it difficult when planning an upgrade as regression process are more difficult.
We are in the process of upgrading the environment from 4.0 to 4.4 (which requires an intermediate upgrade to 4.2.). So the downgrade process is so difficult with Ops Manager UI.1 vote -
Create Ops Manager API endpoint to download mms0.log files
We should expand the Ops Manager API to provide mms0.log downloads the same way we allow mongod deployment log downloads. This will help users with diagnostics when they deploy many Ops Manager instances via the kubernetes operator but do not yet have centralized logging.

Ability to deploy blockstore in "backing database" type organisations/projects
New versions of Ops Manager have the ability to monitor the ApplicationDB in a organisation/project with the "backing database" server type (https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/master/reference/config/ui-settings/#mongodb-usage).
It is common to co-host the blockstore/oplogstore database on the same servers as the ApplicationDB and I would like to deploy these using OpsManager automation but there is a problem because:
* you cannot deploy new clusters in projects with the "backing database" server type
* an agent is tied to a single Ops Manager projectI have two options at the moment:
1. Install a secondary agent on the servers to allow me to deploy…2 votes -
Ops Manager Prometheus metrics
MongoDB Ops Manager would need to expose endpoints for Prometheus for MongoDB Clusters. There are a number of metrics that popular MongoDB Exporters do not provide, for example:
1. Enterprise Backup status
2. Replication Alarms
3. Agent statuses
4. A number of Cluster statuses
etcThere is no way to get this data into Prometheus at the moment

Enablement of Ops Manager Auditing similar to MongoDB's
Hi all
We would like to enable auditing for activities in Ops Manger itself, getting the information directly using the default audit logging options (filesystem / syslog).
Currently we are getting the detailed information in OpsManager, we get some information in the audit.log log when config changes are made via Ops Manager, but not in detail what exactly had been modified in the log files.
To establish a holistic, company wide auditing spanning over all levels (OS / DB / Application) taking use of standard auditing tools this would be highly beneficial.
Regards, Roger

Reset duplicates button for Ops Manager Admin System overview page
Sometimes customer want to clean up the System Overview page and/or the application db from because:
- They dismissed one or more Ops Manager server running Application servers or backup daemon components
- Their hostnames / domains have changed over the time
- Their hostnames have changed from lowercase to capital letters or vice versa because upgrading Ops Manager brought a JVM providing different values for getHostname() (this happens often in Windows environment).It would be nice to have a button or at least an API call similar to the project reset duplicates that forces Ops Manager to refresh the…

Ops Manager - Allow SNMP traps on non standard ports
Allow changing SNMP port from default (162) for customers who run SNMP on non-standard ports.
Currently the port number of the SNMP trap receiver is hardcoded to 162.

Encrypt Password LDAP Query User
The LDAP Query user's password appears in plain text in mongod.config file. The ability to mask its password in automation config file using credentialstool would mitigate a security risk.

Using Ops Manager, I want to get an alert when a collection is a certain size or near no storage so that I can do an investigation
As a DBA using Ops Manager, I want to get an alert when a collection is a certain size or near no storage so that I can do an investigation to see if there is abnormal data growth. As of right now, I can only monitor cluster data size.
