  1. Warn if deploying changes will require a rolling restart

    When reviewing changes in automation, warn if deploying changes will require a rolling restart.

    As an example, look at the documentation for server parameters. Many parameters include the description "You can only set THIS during start-up", but the the warning that setting this parameter necessitates a restart is missing from Ops Manager (or Cloud Manager).

  2. Allow enable/disable for agent alerts

    When we do server patching, we end up receiving agent down alerts for automation, monitoring and backup agents. Those create unnecessary noise and create a real risk of us missing a real alert. We should have ability to disable the agent alerts as part of server shutdown and enable the agent alerts are part of server startup.

  3. 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 (via GET /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. 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.

  5. Using Ops Manager, Tell me useful information such as "given the current 60 day growth trends, you will run out of space in 2 months"

    As a DBA using Ops Manager, I want the system to tell me useful information such as "given the current 60 day growth trends, you will run out of space in 2 months" so that I can do better capacity planning.

  7. I want control the timing of when that rollout happens on Ops Manager

    As a DBA using Ops Manager, when I rollout a cluster or project level change, I want control the timing of when that rollout happens so that I can notify the end users of when an change may occur. As of right now, those changes happen immediately all the entire cluster/project and may create a non-scheduled outage.

  8. Restore a single database within a MongoDB cluster and not store the all the databases in a MongoDB

    As a DBA using Ops Manager, I want to restore a single database within a MongoDB cluster and not store the all the databases in a MongoDB cluster so that my restore only impacts a part of my cluster. As of right now, it restores the entire cluster with all database in it.

  9. Able to move a database from one MongoDB cluster to another MongoDB cluster

    As a DBA using Ops Manager, I want to be able to move a database from one MongoDB cluster to another MongoDB cluster so I can consolidate databases into a single cluster. As of right now there are no consolidation tools within Ops Manager.

  10. Delete indexes by Cloud Manager API

    With the Cloud Manger API it is possible to create new indexes. But there is no possibility to delete indexes by the Cloud Manger API.

  11. SAML support in Ops Manager API

    SAML is available as an authentication mechanism and we're currently using it with keycloack (centralized identity provider).

    It works well with Ops Manager but there seems to be no support whatsoever in Ops Manager 4.4 API to programmatically add / update / delete SAML groups on Organizations or Projects.

    The official API documentation doesn't even recognize that SAML is available.

    Mongo support has confirmed that and it's a target feature in their internal backlog.
    This idea will hopefully speed up things.

  12. Option to encrypt mms.https.PEMKeyFilePassword in conf-mms.properties file

    Currently, credentialstool only offer encryption for username/password for the AppDB mongo.mongoUri.

    It would be great to also have the ability to encrypt the mms.https.PEMKeyFilePassword in conf-mms.properties file, so that is not clear text.

  17. Support Azure blob storage with Ops Manager Backups

    Hello,

    This is a request for Ops Manager to support Azure blob storage as a snapshot store. Currently the following snapshot store options are supported: blockstore, AWS S3 bucket, File System Store.

    While it may be possible to use an S3 API to communicate between Ops Manager and Azure blob storage, thereby storing Ops Manager backups in Azure, this workaround is not officially supported by MongoDB and is thus risky to implement.

  19. avoid generating alert with error message if one oplog node in replicaset got rebooted.

    currently if one of the node in appdb/oplogdb goes down for any reasons (for example, linux patch rebooting the node), ops manager generates alert

    "Ops Manager was unable to connect to this database and run the ping command. The database could be down, unreachable, or running with authencation and Ops Manager does not have adequate permissions."

    there are still 2 other running nodes in replicaset. so this alert is misleading and generates false alarms.

  20. Add compound indexes support for Ops Manager managed Sharding

    What is the problem that needs to be solved? Ops Manager Automation does not take into account compound indexes (https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/index-compound/), e.g. if we have { a: 1, b: 1 } index already exist Ops Manager will still create { a: 1 } index for a Shard Key.

    Why is it a problem? (the pain) This creates unnecessary indexes with performance impact on the MongoDB Server process.
