We need to be informed and or react on some activity feed events. So we want to either be able to configure alert on specific activity type and/or be able to push activity feeds somewhere similar to alerts. then we would be able to configure actions based on activity type.

add organisation name to project name when project name is not unique
There are multiple places where we need choose project. for example, to create global alerts we can exclude some projects from this alert.
The issue is project name is not unique and there could be projects with the same name in different organisations. For example, every organisation may have project dev or test.
it comes to the issue that you will see in the list of projects "dev,dev,dev,dev" and you don't understand which one you want to use.
it will be much better to display them in the format "org/project", so the example above would be "org1/dev, org2/dev, org3/dev" which…

Ops Manager: API endpoint for /databases should not require host
Currently the Ops Manager API to list databases requires a hostname: /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/hosts/{HOST-ID}/databases
It would useful to gather databases on a project or cluster level instead as the databases are the same across replica set members.

Build Ops Manager packages for ARM architecture
The new Graviton instance types in AWS seem very promising from a cost/peformance perspective. We would love to be able to run our Ops Manager cluster on these new instance types, but there currently aren't any packages available for ARM architectures!

custom defined roles In OPS Manager
We need a custom defined role to perform specific functions in the OPS Manager.
For Example --> We need a custom defined role which can perform subset of functions from Project Automation Admin Role + Project Read Only Role + rs.stepDown() functionality
Project Automation Admin Role:
View deployments.
Provision machines.
Edit configuration files.
Download the MongoDB Agent.
+ Project Read Only role.Project Read Only Role:
Activity

Add a cross reference of all projects and roles to user profile
I must click on projects to display all the projects in my list, click the Users link for a project, then search for my ID to see the roles assigned to my ID.
My idea is to consolidate this information and display it under my user profile similar to the Organization page. 3 clicks display my roles for each project on a single page.

OPS Manager should call updateUser to change password to trace it in DB Audit.
If you enable auditing in database, you can't trace change password actions. The reason is OPS Manager updates system.user collection record directly. as a result, this action is not traceble in audit if parameter auditAuthorizationSuccess is not enabled.
But enabling this parameter cause performance degradation as all DML/DDL will be sent through audit layer.
Dropping user at the same time happening as expected and traceable in audit files.

Add flexibility to disable and enable specific fetures of managing mongodb instance in OPS Manager (like user Sync)
Currently , Mongodb admin can not select to disable or enable feature after put mongodb manageed under OPS Manager. like security control .
Normally , Security control is not mongodb or Ops manager admin's responsibility , which is managed by a enterprice access control team.
1 , In opsmanager , there is not role for security control, like useradmin in mongodb.
2 , When ACCESS control team create role in mongodb. Ops Manager sycn it back.
3 , Opsmanager admin have to be engaged to work with ACCESS control team to complete the task.It is kind of not least…

ops manager agent support for Rocky Linux
Ops manager and Mongodb work on Rocky, but it seems there is no option for Rocky in the Ops Manager agent manifest, the current agent detects no Linux flavor for Rocky Linux. This already works on RHEL/CentOS and Rocky is supposed to be fully compatible with these OS's.

Set log file permissions using Ops Manager
Currently there is no way to set the log file permissions from Ops Manager and the default value is 600. Our organization uses Splunk and with the current settings the Splunk user is not able to read the log files. Config file options such as processUmask and honorSystemUmask can be used to change the log file permissions, but they will also change other files such as journal files, wiredtiger files, etc. The only option we have is to add the Splunk user to our role group in Unix, but this causes a security issue.

“Content-Security-Policy” header
Hello,
We want to add the “Content-Security-Policy” header to the OpsManager/MongoDB answers to increase the security level:
frame-ancestors 'none' (Do not render in frames)
script-src 'self': only loads scripts originating on the site (subdomains excluded)
default-src 'none': recommended for services returning HTML.
Could you please tell us how to set up these elements ?Thank you in advance for your support.
Regards

Agent authentication to opsmanager using x509 credentials
Similar to how Opsmanger can use x509 to manage deployments, it should be possible to configure the agents to use x509 credentials to communicate with Opsmanager. This will allow for a more consistent security posture across the whole mongodb/opsmanager stack. It would also simplify security procedures such as credential rotation by unifying the authentication mechanism.
This will be an alternative to the existing API Key approach https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/manage-agent-api-key/index.html

Ability to remove parameter tlsCertificateKeyFilePassword from Advanced configuration
Currently the behavior around this parameter is tricky -once you added this parameter to advanced config - you can't remove it. if you try to remove it - OPS Manager simply ignores this action and when you run "Review and Deploy" - it displays nothing but still let you deploy this "nothing". similar if you want to set the value of this parameter to empty string from something - OPS Manager ignores it and deploy empty list of actions.
the workaround is to remove both tlsCertificateKeyFile and tlsCertificateKeyFilePassword in advanced config, but don't deploy it. then add back tlsCertificateKeyFile parameter…

Ops Manager API should be authenticated via Certificate
Ops Manager API uses HTTP Digest Authentication, this method requires a username and a password which are hashed and provided in the form of registered Ops Manager account, and the password which is a Public API Key associated with that account.
But as part of security feature we should be allowed to use Authentication based on SSL certificates as we are using for Client connection, This will help to secure the self automation process if we are developing any internally.

When changing snapshot retention, prompt user to apply new policy to existing snapshots
Currently when you change the snapshot schedule, the changes only apply to NEW snapshots.
Please allow the user the option to apply the new policy automatically to all existing snapshots. Or at the very least, notify them of them of snapshots that exist which do not meet the current policy!
Let me provide an example of the problem. If you have a retention policy of 10 days and on DAY1 you change it to 30 days, your retention will look like this:
DAY1 - 10 snapshots
DAY2 - 10 snapshots
...
DAY10 - 10 snapshots
DAY11 - 11 snapshots
DAY12…1 vote -
Lock enableLocalConfigurationServer setting on OPS Manager side
To harden security for mongodb deployment managed by OPS Manager, we can use setting enableLocalConfigurationServer = true so automation-mongod.conf won't have any passwords for ssl certs and agent will retrieve them from OPS Manager.
to disable this feature and to read all passwords for ssl certs (and hence get access to mongodb data) it's enough to comment out this parameter an restart automation service (or wait until host will be restarted).
Linux root user can modify any file on mongodb host including this file and can restart any services, so it's impossible to protect getting all passwords and mongod.conf from…

I found what I believe to be an error in the following document
I found what I believe to be an error in the following document.
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/install-simple-test-deployment/In the section "5. Create the Ops Manager Application Database directory," it instructs to execute the following command
sudo chown -R mongod:mongod /dataIn my environment, the mongod user does not exist and I get an error, but looking at the passwd file, the mongodb user and mongodb group seem to exist. The version is 11.7.
I think the correct command is as follows

Deploy Changes without restarting mongod/mongos instance immediately.
Whenever we want to make changes, eg. set a new parameter or add new parameter in configuration (advance configuration options), after we save changes, review and deploy, automation immediately starts applying that change and does a rolling restart.
We need flexibility in restart, means one should have an option to perform immediate rolling restart or defer it to later time. We may apply multiple changes at different times and set one preferred window to restart instance instead of doing multiple restarts.17 votes -
Operating System distribution and version of a host in OPS Manager API
Hi,
would be useful having the operating system distribution and version of a host for our automation scripts.
This info is not available in any OPS Manager API request, as the case 01119828.
My suggestion is add this info at "Get Host by ID" https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/reference/api/hosts/get-one-host-by-id/
Best regards,
