  1. Add a free user field in alert configuration

    We'd like to be able to link some free text data with an alert configuration.

    One use case: we forward open Ops Manager alerts to other monitoring systems of our company (using the API). Those monitoring systems need some specific data that should be associated with the forwarded alert.

    Another use case: we have a Python script/lib that provision alerts in several projects.
    Having a free field could be used to link source code definition with the published alert in Ops Manager and make a cleaner publishing script (currently it consists in delete all / publish all alerts which is…

  2. Assignment labels in YAML for Snapshot storage

    Currently, if you want to assign a snapshot store to a certain project, it is required to access the Admin view and configure the "Assignment Labels" property under Backup > Snapshot Storage with the name of the corresponding project.

    AFAIK, it is not possible to assign this configuration in the Ops Manager's YAML. E.g.:

    s3Stores:
    - mongodbResourceRef:
        name: s3-metadata-db
      mongodbUserRef:
        name: s3-meta-store-user
      name: s3store1
      pathStyleAccessEnabled: false
      s3BucketEndpoint: endpoint1.corp
      s3BucketName: backup1-bucket
      s3SecretRef:
        name: s3-credentials
    - mongodbResourceRef:
        name: s3-metadata-db
      mongodbUserRef:
        name: s3-meta-store-user
      name: s3store2
      pathStyleAccessEnabled: false
      s3BucketEndpoint: backup2.corp
      s3BucketName: backup2-bucket
      s3SecretRef:
        name: second-credentials

  3. GUI for Queryable Snapshots

    It would be good to have a GUI created for the queryable snapshot interface so less experienced users, that may not have any mongod experience, can successfully restore a collection/document without additional training.

    Ideally, the feature allows for the creation of some subset of documents using a query building tool (even collection level would be acceptable) that can then be pushed to a target environment automatically or pushed to a mongodump file that can be used as a restore tool later. Their primary concern is just to ensure that individuals without direct mongod experience or server access can generate a…

  4. Apply Project Maintenance Windows to Global Alerts

    Apply Project Maintenance Windows to Global Alerts

    Make the existing Project-level maintenance windows also silence Global alerts associated with the Project.

    We have many projects that share the Global Alerts and do not want to turn off all global alerts as we still need that alerting for the projects that are not being worked on.

    In combination with the existing API for Project Maintenance Windows, this really allows full control.

  5. Memory metrics summed for Project/Organization

    Memory metrics summed for Project/Organization
    Request UI ability to sum total memory used by mongo processes per Project and Organization.
    The UI does provide Process/Replca Set/Cluster Memory Statistics.
    Metrics are available per instance but there is currently no non-programatic way to get the SUM of all used memory for a given Project nor Organization.

  6. Managing mongoDB containers having multiple DNS names through automation agent

    We got mongoDB running on openshift pods across 2 separate openshift clusters and it runs perfectly fine but we are now facing issue with doing mongoDB restore, and that has led to us now wanting to use automation agent to control the mongod process on the containers.

    The major challenge we are facing is that we run into issues when automation agent runs rs.initiate() and as part of the process tries to gather the hostname of the pod by running hostname -f command. The trouble is we have to deal with separate openshift clusters and have got mongod replica set…

  8. Automated restores between multiple Ops Manager deployments

    Ability to utilize API and/or UI to restore a snapshot downloaded from one Ops Manager deployment to a separate distinct Ops Manager deployment.

    Some environments require separation of Production and Staging systems, including Ops Manager deployments. It is desirable to use Production data in some testing scenarios. Currently the data has to be loaded or restore manually.

  9. Attain granularity on the Ops manager backups & restore

    Backups:Under a project, in a single cluster we may deploy multiple databases which belongs to different applications that are somehow interlinked in terms of their functionality. Different databases requires different backup strategies, retention periods, and so different snapshot schedules. However, the level of granularity on Ops Manager "Continuous Backup" doesn't match the above requirement.

    Restore: How could we restore a single collection, or a database without touching the other databases/collections within a cluster? The restore process that we have today seems to be restoring the whole cluster and not to the level of database/collection. Queryable backup snapshot seems to be…

  11. Ability to configure all destinations for SNMPv2c Alert Traps in a single place

    What is the problem that needs to be solved? Ops Manager needs to have ability to configure all destinations for SNMPv2c Alert Traps in a single place (so that single place needs to be updated instead of dozens of individual Ops Manager Alerts).

    Why is it a problem? (the pain) In case if there's a change in SNMPv2c Alert Trap destination(s), it becomes effort to change the respective hosts for each of the alert. This process requires some time (unless customer script it via Ops Manager's API) if amount of configured Ops Manager Alerts is high, and the process itself…

  12. Allow customization of Alert's Subject/Body

    Currently alerts do not allow for any customization of the Subject or Body. It would be useful to allow customization of both the Subject and Body of emails and other alert methods. This would allow customers to add information, such as links to internal runbooks or documentation, to assist with resolving the alert.

  13. Improve backup job status in Backup jobs summary table

    When checking the backup job details for a 4.2 deployment, this is always reporting to be performing a "WT Checkpoint" even though it is not exactly generating a snapshot at that point in time.

    The request is to enhance the reporting for this summary table in order to get further details on what the Backup Module is doing at that precise point in time. If it is awaiting for the instruction to execute a snapshot, in the process of transferring blocks, etc.

  14. Ability to control Ops Manager log rotation from an Admin Page in the UI

    The Ops Manager Application Server Log Directory is typically located in /opt/mongodb/mms/logs/.

    Currently, the log rotation of the Ops Manager log files /opt/mongodb/mms/logs/mms0.log, /opt/mongodb/mms/logs/daemon.log and /opt/mongodb/mms/logs/mms0-access.log are configured by default to rotate the log file every day and compress it with a retention of 30 days. After 30 days the compressed files are deleted.

    Please allow the configuration of these log rotation settings through the Ops Manager Web UI.

    Currently, this can only be done manually. The default installation of Ops Manager includes a file in /opt/mongodb/mms/conf called logback.xml. This is the file that the library uses…

  16. Add 4.4 tool to PATH

    Since MongoDB 4.4 the tools are located in another folder that is not included in the automation agent bash profile:

    [root@n1 mongodb-mms-automation]# cat /etc/profile.d/mongodb-mms-automation-agent.sh
    export PATH=/var/lib/mongodb-mms-automation/bin:${PATH}

    Would be nice to have also the mongo tools in the path

  18. Changes to Backup Configuration

    Ability for changes in a project's Backup Configuration page to take effect without having to terminate and restart backups. Terminating backups removes all existing backups thus exposing an organization to risk. Backups can be stopped and restarted for the changes to take effect but not completely terminate them. This would help when changes are needed into terms of backup daemons, blockstores, types of blockstores, etc.

  19. Notify about SSL/TLS Certificate Expiration Date & Time to warn customers about potential impact on their deployment availability

    What is the problem that needs to be solved? Customers run into SSL/TLS Certificate Expiration issues (where SSL/TLS certificate has expired) on their Ops Manager and MongoDB Server environments and they do not get any early notifications from Ops Manager about SSL/TLS Certificate Expiration.

    Why is it a problem? (the pain) Customers who use Ops Manager to manage/monitor their MongoDB Server deployments are running into situation where their configured SSL/TLS Certificates are expired, and thus have potential downtime for their applications.
