  2. Added features to improve backup performance on filesystem

    Currently, the ability to use multiple workers in Ops Manager is only available for S3. If possible adding this capability, or additional enhancements, to filesystem storage would be beneficial.

  3. Ops Manager should allow to perform restore/recovery on individual replica node

    Currently Ops manager automatic restore process does not support restoring snapshots to a single node of a existing replicaSet instead Ops Manager restore snapshots to an existing replicaSet.
    This will be require in case any individual replica node down for longer period and oplog overwrite on primary.
    Thank You

  4. Enable external-dns integration via per-service annotations on each generated service

    Currently the MongoDB Kubernetes Operator allows specification of annotations on services created by the operator, but only annotations with the same value across all services. The external-dns operator can create DNS names based on annotations on services. In order to support external-dns integration the MongoDB Kubernetes Operator would need to allow one to specify specific annotations for each generated service.

    Current spec for external access services:
    externalAccess:
    externalService:
    annotations:
    # Same annotations will be applied on all services

    You could consider a placeholder/substitution scheme like:
    externalAccess:
    externalService:
    annotations:
    external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: mydb-db-<instance number>.mydns.com

    Or some other way of assigning a per-service annotation…

  5. Set log file permissions using Ops Manager

    Currently there is no way to set the log file permissions from Ops Manager and the default value is 600. Our organization uses Splunk and with the current settings the Splunk user is not able to read the log files. Config file options such as processUmask and honorSystemUmask can be used to change the log file permissions, but they will also change other files such as journal files, wiredtiger files, etc. The only option we have is to add the Splunk user to our role group in Unix, but this causes a security issue.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Agent authentication to opsmanager using x509 credentials

    Similar to how Opsmanger can use x509 to manage deployments, it should be possible to configure the agents to use x509 credentials to communicate with Opsmanager. This will allow for a more consistent security posture across the whole mongodb/opsmanager stack. It would also simplify security procedures such as credential rotation by unifying the authentication mechanism.

    This will be an alternative to the existing API Key approach https://www.mongodb.com/docs/ops-manager/current/tutorial/manage-agent-api-key/index.html

  9. Providing a grafana dashboard for an on-premise cluster

    It would be interesting to provide a grafana dashboard when integrating with prometheus.

    The documentation is indeed very limited concerning metrics when you're on a mongoDB on premise cluster.

  10. Ability to remove parameter tlsCertificateKeyFilePassword from Advanced configuration

    Currently the behavior around this parameter is tricky -once you added this parameter to advanced config - you can't remove it. if you try to remove it - OPS Manager simply ignores this action and when you run "Review and Deploy" - it displays nothing but still let you deploy this "nothing". similar if you want to set the value of this parameter to empty string from something - OPS Manager ignores it and deploy empty list of actions.

    the workaround is to remove both tlsCertificateKeyFile and tlsCertificateKeyFilePassword in advanced config, but don't deploy it. then add back tlsCertificateKeyFile parameter…

  11. add clusterId to json output of "cluster list", "cluster describe" commands

    currently there is no straightforward way to get clusterId using mongocli. we can get clusterId if we use text format with "cluster list", but not with json.

    and with json format we have to use "process list" command, filter out only one process amongst multiple within cluster and filter out clusterId.

    it would be useful to add clusterId field into json when we get cluster description from list/describe commands also.

  12. add text option to --output modifier

    currently there is no way to format output of command in text format. the only option is to set this format as default in config file and not use --output modifier in specific command. if you rare use text output, you will have to insert --output json in every other commands.

  13. When changing snapshot retention, prompt user to apply new policy to existing snapshots

    Currently when you change the snapshot schedule, the changes only apply to NEW snapshots.

    Please allow the user the option to apply the new policy automatically to all existing snapshots. Or at the very least, notify them of them of snapshots that exist which do not meet the current policy!


    Let me provide an example of the problem. If you have a retention policy of 10 days and on DAY1 you change it to 30 days, your retention will look like this:

    DAY1 - 10 snapshots
    DAY2 - 10 snapshots
    ...
    DAY10 - 10 snapshots
    DAY11 - 11 snapshots
    DAY12…

  14. 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…

  15. 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).

  16. 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

  17. 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

  18. 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.
    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/terminating-instances.html#Using_ChangingDisableAPITermination

  19. 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…

  20. 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…
