Automation - Monitor ulimit parameters for mongo processes
MongoDB will abort if ulimit parameters are set too low. We should monitor parameters such as "open files" and add an alert for when the value approaches the ulimit configuration.

Trigger replica set alerts for hidden secondaries
We need to ability to trigger replica set alerts when a secondary that is hidden goes down.
In this example an environment has 4 members, with one of them "hidden". We would like to be alerted even when the "hidden" secondary goes down.
Currently alerts are only working for non-hidden members.

Allow multiple authentication sources simultaneously
Currently Ops Manager authentication supports either the Application Database, LDAP, or SAML, but these methods cannot be combined. Ideally we would like to move to LDAP, but we are stuck with the local authentication method as we depend on a local admin user which is used when first deploying and configuring the Ops Manager ecosystem. We also do not want to depend solely on the availability of the LDAP servers regarding an admin user. The MongoDB cluster deployments do support multiple authentication methods at the same time (we have local admin and monitoring accounts while users are authenticating via LDAP),…

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 -
Support Service Binding Specification for Kubernetes
Service Binding Specification for Kubernetes standardizes exposing backing service secrets to applications. The spec is available here: https://github.com/servicebinding/spec
This blog post would be helpful: https://muthukadan.net/kubernetes/binding/support-service-binding-specification-for-kubernetes/

Allow the use of symlinks within the Ops Manager directory
Sometimes it would be great if we could move the
conf,tmp, orlogsdirectories to other filesystems and use symlinks so that Ops Manager doesn't have to worry about where the needed file physically are. Right now, Ops Manager refuses to start whenever this sort of redirection is done.3 votes -
Incorrect Agent version Alert/Banner
If someone upgrades from Ops Manager v4.2 -> v4.4 and then downgrades by reinstalling Ops Manager v4.2, there is no Alert or Banner that the Agent is incompatible.
Attempts to modify deployments with this incompatible Agent displays "Initializing Automation for your Deployment" but never actually does anything. It is only after reviewing the Ops Manager logs that you see "Unrecognized field".
It would be helpful if there was a validation check that displays an Alert or Banner that indicates that the version of the Agent is unknown/incompatible. Perhaps something similar to what is displayed after upgrading Ops Manager that will…

Kubernetes Operator - Prefix Annotations and Labels
Labels and annotations added to Kubernetes resources by the MongoDB Enterprise Operator should include a prefix designating that it was added by MongoDB. The lack of a prefix suggests the field and values are private to the user.
For example, the MongoDB statefulset and service selector should use a label prefixed with a MongoDB domain.

4 votesWe're gradually starting to change things to prefix most annotations and labels with mdb.
It's a gradual thing but in progress.

Display the feature compatibility version (FCV) in Cloud Manager/Ops Manager UI
The FCV could be different than the MongoDB version. Also, sometime the FCV on different shards/CSRS in a sharded cluster might be different (e.g. FCV is upgraded on the shards, but for some reason FCV is not upgraded on the CSRS), and this could cause issues.
It would be nice if FCV is displayed next to the MongoDB version information. So that we can spot out the discrepancy quickly.

Generate Operational Reports in Ops Manager
- Slow queries report similiar to AWR report in Oracle
- List of hosts being monitoring in Organization and project level in a downloadable format
- Metrics report for all the hosts at org and project level
- Backup failures report
- Alerts report (Example : List of alerts triggered in given timeframe)

Allow Ops Manager Data Explorer to read from Secondary nodes
Ops Manager should allow Data Explorer to be configured with a Read Preferences and maxTimeMS options. Not having these options allows this tool to potentially trigger un-optimized queries to only hit primary nodes, which for high load production environments may cause un-expected problems.

Add filters to Global alert screen in Ops Manager
Add a filter for Global alert Configuration Page. It would be nice to have the ability to search for the specific alert to see if you have it configured and for which environments.
A filter similar to what is seen on the "Open Alert" view would be sufficient.
Since we are managing upwards of 50 deployments via Global Alerts this would be a useful feature.

Enable S3 Snapshot Storage via Kubernetes Operator with IAM role
Configuring an S3 Snapshot Storage with IAM roles is only possible via Ops Manager UI or API.
It would be great to be able to do this configuration via the MongoDB Kubernetes Operator.

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.2 votes -
mongocli - allow to enable/disable agent modules
As of mongocli version 1.17.0 there is no way to enable monitoring and backup modules for a cloud manager or ops manager project.
You can only query the agents and the modules enabled.
This won't allow you to use mongocli to setup a new project from scratch and will require to use the Cloud Manager or Ops Manager API updating the automation config manually for this purpose.

Consider supporting the installation of mongosh via Ops Manager/automation agent
Today, it is possible to install MongoDB software (mongoimport/export, mongodump/restore, mongo, bi connector) from Ops Manager via the automation agent.
Ideally, it will be possible to have the same experience for the new MongoDB Shell (mongosh), so that customers don't need to put in place a separate set of processes nd scripts to install it.
