1. 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 root user only using Linux functionality.

   But it's possible to add feature in OPS Manager to "lock automation agent setting for enableLocalConfigurationServer" on OPS Manager side.

   Even if root comments out/disables this setting, automation agent will request full config file from OPS Manager and OPS Manager will check on its side if it's allowed to send full config back to agent.

   i.e. only MongoDB DBA who manages deployment from OPS Manager controls if full config with all password should be sent to host and Linux root user won't be able on their own retrieve passwords.

2. 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
   Operational data
   Ops Manager Users
   Ops Manager User roles.

   ** This feature becomes very useful to contain the access of certain privileges and to have the flexibility tailormade privileges instead of giving the access to entire system defined role.

3. Use different method for Slack notifications

   At the moment in integration manager for Slack there is only option to use obsolete webhook method which allows sending notification to single Slack channel configured for this webhook. There is (not that) new API method https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage which allows sending notification to multiple channels. This is extremely useful if you for example want to differentiate alerts based on its kind or severity. There is also option to use Webhook method in MongoDB but it doesn't support Slack. So please either add support for new API method or make Webhook method supporting Slack so at least two Slack channels will be available to use.

4. Authentication support for OpenID connect (OIDC)

   I would like to connect to MongoDB as part of a Terraform IaC project from bitbucket pipelines. Currently this is possible only through API keys.

   It would be great if there was support for OIDC as it provides rotated keys and solid support of various pipelines (GitHub actions, Bitbucket pipelines, ...). Also with OIDC the client is not exposed to any credentials, so this would allow for a "zero-trust" approach when it comes to IaC (Infrastructure as Code).

5. 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 /data

   In 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
   sudo chown -R mongodb:mongodb /data

6. 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,
   Danilo

7. Ability to mark a deployment as an INELIGIBLE restore target

   Restoring to a cluster is one of the few destructive actions that Ops Manager takes and it's terrifying to see our main production cluster listed as a possible restore target!

   I would love to be able to toggle a setting on this cluster to indicate that it is NOT available as a restore target.

   This could be similar to the AWS "DisableApiTermination" feature that prevents instance termination.

8. 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 previledge and seperation of duty.

   I would suggest to provide a feature to give Flexibility to disable and enable specific features of managing mongodb instance in OPS Manager (like user Sync), and other features, like configuration. Have parameter should be fine.

9. There have been at least a few issues on Kubernetes Community Operator related to PVC expansion, yet this is not documented anywhere.

   There have been at least a few issues on Kubernetes Community Operator related to PVC expansion, yet this is not documented anywhere.

   Looking at closed issues, one may get an idea that this operation is impossible, but with the latest CSI it should be - it requires some handcrafting. On the other side Enterprise operator has this covered here - https://www.mongodb.com/docs/kubernetes-operator/stable/tutorial/resize-pv-storage/. I suggest writing similar how-to for the Community operator.
   My currently tested workflow for volume expansion is similar to this explained on the page above, but as for my knowledge Community operator doesn't allow this operation - as it will recreate StatefulSet when you delete, and there's no way for pause reconciliation of MongoDBCommunity. So it requires you to scale down operator deployment for the time of expansion.

   So it looks like this:
   1. Scale down mongodb-kubernetes-operator to 0
   2. Dump current mongodb StatefulSet specs to file
   3. Delete StatefulSet leaving pods (--cascade=orphan)
   4. Modify saved StatefulSet specs in the file and update volumeClaimTemplates to match your new size requirements

   And here it splits, as I'm using Longhorn, and it needs some time to detach and resize the volume. Because of that, using rollout - as described on the Enterprise operator hasn't worked. So for possibly any other CSI plugin, you should continue as described on the page:

   1. Patch PVCs with the new size
   2. Re-create StatefulSet with new specs for volumeClaimTemplates
   3. Rollout restart StatefulSet

   But in my case, it was like this:

   1. Delete one pod (secondary RS members first, primary last - as usual)
   2. Wait for PV to be in a detached state
   3. Patch PVC
   4. Wait for PV to resize
   5. Re-create StatefulSet with new specs for volumeClaimTemplates
   6. Wait for it to reconcile
   7. Delete StatefulSet, leaving pods again
   8. Repeat the above steps for any other pods in your StatefulSet

   And finally, make changes to MongoDBCommunity specs to match those in the manually created StatefulSet and scale-up operator.

12. 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.

16. Add "Cluster Tier" and Provisioned "IOPS" as options in MongoDB Metrics Charts in Atlas

    If these charts were available, it would enable to the user to visualize the Tier and IOPS of the cluster during specific time ranges, and compare to other metrics such as CPU, iowait, etc.

    In my team's experience, we use Atlas auto-scaling to allow a cluster to scale up/down based on load, but when looking at Metrics it is not clear which Tier the cluster was in (e.g. "M30") when evaluating other metrics like CPU utilization. We are able to manually track Cluster Tier by viewing the Project Activity Feed, but if this data was integrated into Metrics it would be great for comparison.

18. Ops Manager Load Balancer

    In the same way we can connect to a replica set via a connection string containing the 3 hostnames of the members (in a 3 member replica set) which indicates some load balancing built in, it would be good to allow automation agent's mmsBaseUrl parameter to accept 3 Ops Manager web app hostnames if Ops Manager was running in 3 nodes on top of a 3 member replica set OM Application DB. With this, if one of the 3 Ops Manager web apps fails, the agent's connection to OM will be uninterrupted. Currently we will have to configure our own load balancer, or manually update the agent's mmsBaseUrl if the current OM fails both of which are tedious setups.

20. 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.
