  1. Filter/Sort Process List View

    In previous versions of Ops Manager, you could filter the process list page. It would be nice to bring that back, so we could quickly identify processes which do not have recent pings, etc.

  2. Start MongoDB Agent service (`mongodb-mms-automation-agent.service`) automatically after OS restart, make it default behavior

    What is the problem that needs to be solved? MongoDB Agent service (mongodb-mms-automation-agent.service) does not start (by default (disabled; vendor preset: disabled)) automatically after OS reboot.

    Why is it a problem? (the pain) OS restarts can be frequent, and current default behavior (disabled; vendor preset: disabled) of MongoDB Agent not to start after OS restart causing additional downtime for customers.

  3. Plugin for Moogsoft monitoring tools.

    Currently, Ops Manager does not have the plugin for Moogsoft monitoring tools, it would be great to add the feature to the future release of Ops Manager.

  5. Option to select the S3 Storage Class for snapshots and oplog slices

    Ops Manager currently uses S3 Standard storage for all snapshot storage and oplog storage and the storage class is not configurable.

    AWS has storage classes that are specifically designed for backups (lower storage costs, but higher retrieval costs) like GlacierInstantRetrieval.

    We could significantly reduce costs if we could select the Storage Class that Ops Manager would use when uploading data to S3.

    NOTES

    It is possible to create lifecycle rules in S3 to transition the objects from Standard Storage to another Storage Class, but this transition itself incurs a cost for the objects/bytes that are transitioned. This may reduce costs…

  7. Allow to select columns visible on OPS Manager All projects page

    All projects page in MongoOPS shows cluster name, data size, version, nodes, backup, SSL, Auth, Alerts.

    We need ability to select only few columns visible on this page.
    Example:
    cluster name, data size

  9. Publish Ops Manager deployments to Slack

    It would be nice if the Slack integration could be used to post deployment notices to a Slack channel.

    We have a channel where our other tooling posts about changes that have been made, and there isn't an easy way to have Ops Manager do the same.

  10. mongosync filtered sync update

    Currently we cannot modify a filter that is in use without wiping all user data in the target cluster.
    For exclusion filters, where we exclude collections NOT to copy, adding more collections to exclude should not require wiping all user data.
    This is very cumbersome otherwise.

  11. Show better diff for changes to setParameter json blob

    The "review and deploy" step only shows that there IS a diff in the setParameter json, but it does not make it clear what is actually changing.

    It would be very helpful to show the diff between the two json payloads in an easy-to-read way.

  12. Add Public API Endpoint for Backup Snapshot Status

    When a snapshot is ongoing, the only location to find information on the current status is in the UI on the backup page for a project.

    An API endpoint with the same information as the UI would allow for automation and alerting tools if the snapshot creation is not performing as expected.

  13. Add support for zstd compression in Ops Manager connection string

    I just tried to enable zstd on the mongo.mongoUri connection string for Ops Manager and it looks like it's not supported

    Feb 6 13:53:20 opsmanager1 mongodb-mms[3971104]: An unexpected error occurred during pre-flight checks: com/github/luben/zstd/ZstdInputStream
    Feb 6 13:53:20 opsmanager1 mongodb-mms[3971104]: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/github/luben/zstd/ZstdInputStream

    Given the high network in/out values we see from the mongo underlying Ops Manager, I think zstd is likely to be very effective and helpful!

  14. 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…

  15. Instantly Release Storage of collection after Remove the data from the collection

    It should provide an attribute when removing a document, inquiring whether you want to release storage immediately or later, instead of executing the compact command. This feature is helpful when you want to retain only the latest 6 months of data and remove older records. For example, I have IoT devices that fetch vehicle GPS locations, and each device has its own separate collection in MongoDB.

  16. allow mongocli read configs from stdin rather than from file

    To deploy new cluster we need prepare config file and put there all sensitive data, like automation user password, ssl cert passwords etc.
    Then we have to specify -f flag to point to this config during mongocli call.

    Currently this file has to persist somewhere on the disk during call to CLI which makes it insecure (and file has to be carefully removed after cli call finished, proper access to the file has to be set etc)

    It would be safer to send this config to stdin of mongocli - as a pipe from another command which can generate the…

  18. Allow drag-and-drop of metric graphs from different replica set members

    Our use case is we have a replica set, but the east nodes and west nodes are on disk mounts with different names, so they won't appear on the same line in the Metrics tab. We should be able to drag and drop on a replica set member level, not just the metrics level. This allows more customization of metric graph layout.

  19. 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.

  20. 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…
