    We are going to expose this via mongocli first as it would probably makes a fastest solution.

  2. Supporting the installation of mongosh in Ops Manager Local Mode

    Ops Manager v6.0+ supports installing the new mongo shell (mongosh) to the deployment nodes. This feature is not supported in Ops Manager Local Mode.

    It would be convenient to the Ops Manager Automation user if they could upload the mongosh binary to the Ops Manager Versions Directory and Ops Manager will install the binary to the deployment nodes similar to the MongoDB Binary and MongoDB Database Tools.

    Currently, the customer with Local Mode needs to manage the installation of mongosh outside of Ops Manager Automation.

  3. 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…

  4. trigger a queryable Backup Snapshot restore via Ops Manager public API

    We would like to periodically provision queryable snapshots on a programmatic basis (aka Ops Manager public API call) to easily get a consistent dump of sharded clusters in order to put those dumps in a "very safe location". We want to use this as part of a last resort backup strategy. The idea is that a dump is much easier to be restored by a "last resort restore app" compared to the http-downloaded plain data files.

    One other option to extract the contents of a sharded cluster would be to use "Long Running Queries" but this cannot be used along…

  5. Loadbalance functionality for Ops Manager

    When Ops Manager is under heavy load from many active database services, f.e. to handle backup snapshots, the recommendation from the case support portal is to use a loadbalancer in front of Ops Manager.
    It would be great, if Ops Manager could have this as an integrated functionality to forward connections from agents to additional Ops Manager instances.
    Background: Our nTSE did confirm, that we could set a different Ops Manager URL in the agent config, but the transferred data from this agent is still sent to the initially configured Ops Manager instance.

  6. Reset duplicates button for Ops Manager Admin System overview page

    Sometimes customer want to clean up the System Overview page and/or the application db from because:
    - They dismissed one or more Ops Manager server running Application servers or backup daemon components
    - Their hostnames / domains have changed over the time
    - Their hostnames have changed from lowercase to capital letters or vice versa because upgrading Ops Manager brought a JVM providing different values for getHostname() (this happens often in Windows environment).

    It would be nice to have a button or at least an API call similar to the project reset duplicates that forces Ops Manager to refresh the…

  7. index review before sharding with OPS Manager

    Currently, when you use OPS Manager to shard a collection, it automatically creates a foreground index that exactly matches the sharding key, when such index doesn't exist. When the sharding key column(s) is(are)already prefixing an existing index, it's not sufficent.
    This is dangerous in Live environments because the whole database is blocked for a long time (sharded collections are usually big collections).
    So, several features could exist :
    - before continuing with sharding, OPS Manager warns that it needs to create this foreground index first. You can stop if you don't agree (and create this index by yourself first).
    -…

  9. 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

  11. Binaries should be provided via Docker images

    To implement this in a Kubernetes native way for offline deployments, the binaries should be provided as Docker images and distributed through the Docker repositories that are already present in the k8s environment.

    Option 1 (intermediate): Allow Mount of Docker images in the MongoDBOpsManager resource for the path defined in automation.versions.directory. This would allow us to pre-package the binaries needed and bring up the OpsManager in a kubernetes native way. Everything else (e.g. agent downloading the tgz) would stay the same and still be the "OpsManger-way".

    Option 2 (long term): The MongoDB TGZ package is provided as Docker image by…

  12. Periodically notify users of unused versions located in versions directory

    As a safety measure for admins in Ops Manager to avoid facing issues due to unnecessary disk occupation under the Ops Manager installation directory:

    Send periodic notifications (configurable) i.e: once a month; to notify what binaries are not being used by none of the components in their environment so they can evaluate to delete them in order to free up space on their Ops Manager servers.

  14. Opsmanager API: Include Backup Id in List Restore Jobs Response that restore was triggered for

    Hello,

    there is already a snapshot id included in the list restore jobs response, BUT the problem arises with sharded instances: If you restore a sharded instance to a specific backup, multiple restore jobs are created (one for config server, one for each shard). Thus, the snapshot id in the list restore jobs response refers to the backup of the single component (either config server or shard) and not to the overall backup of the entire sharded instance the restore was initiated for.

    Hence, you cannot map those restore jobs to the backup the restore was triggered for, which makes…

  15. Identify the snapshot of each project and its size in S3 blockstore

    Calculating the storage size consumed by snapshots for each projects deployments for the storage size consumed individually in S3 Blockstore. However, on the S3 snapshot store the data will be stored in the below format which doesn't include any project id to identify the specific project.
    s3://bucket_name/0E3AA1971D5CF1CA52F9AF22A4228F10293AE9804D43FBF7EB5DDE38DB06B74A/5b27b0e4083826088f259f28_A s3://bucket_name/1860B12165FB7ED336DDAB9D306EF38E18FCBD36BF695904C497B825F83581DC/5b27b0e4083826088f259f28_A

    This feature is helpful for the customers to understand and segregate the storage consumption by each deployments

  16. Add an option to GUI to rotate Certificates

    Add an option to GUI to rotate Certificates for each or all instances of replicaset for MongoDB.

    Should include options:

    1) rotate certificates for one instances on one server.
    2) rotate certificates for all instances belonging to a replicaset.
    3) rotate certificates for all instances on one server.
    4) rotate certificates for all instances on all servers for a project.

    Similar to https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/command/rotateCertificates/#mongodb-dbcommand-dbcmd.rotateCertificates

  17. clear text password for mongodb ldap authorization

    Add the feature to Encrypt the queryPassword parameter for LDAP in the config file directly via Ops Manager , so that text password should not be present in config file.
    Keeping direct password is a security concern.
    Sample format of the config file:

    ldap:
    authz:
    queryTemplate: '{USER}?memberOf?base'
    bind:
    method: simple
    queryPassword: <Password>
    queryUser: <username>
    servers: serevername:port
    transportSecurity: tls
    userToDNMapping: '[ { match : "xxxxx)))"
    } ]

  19. 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.
