  1. Snapshots taken by Ops Manager Backups should include config file

    When restoring a snapshot through Ops Manager, automation will create the config file for you. But if you're restoring a snapshot manually, there's no config file! Surely we can include a sample mongod.conf withe sufficient information filled out to help a user get up and running again.

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

  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. 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.

  5. Add ability to transition WiredTiger encryption-at-rest from local keyfile encryption (LKE) to KMIP

    If you are using local key file encryption and backing up your MongoDB deployment using Ops Manager, backups won't work correctly if you upgrade to MongoDB 4.2. The correct solution is to switch your encryption to KMIP. But if you try doing that, automation will get stuck!

  6. 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.

  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).
    -…

  8. Restore Backup Snapshots to Sharded Clusters via mongos

    Migrating large sharded clusters to a different cluster pre-sharded with different shard keys requires a significant amount of time to balance post-restore.

    This is a feature request to restore a snapshot on a per document basis through a mongos. The desired result is a completed restore with collections/documents residing on their target shards.

  10. 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. Password policy enforcement

    Currently, MongoDB doesn't provide any way to enforce password policies. If there is some way for Ops Manager to enforce a configurable password complexity and age for user accounts managed through Ops Manager, that would be huge win. This can be as simple as adding UI-level validations to the create/edit user form.

  12. Attain granularity on the Ops manager backups & restore

    Backups:Under a project, in a single cluster we may deploy multiple databases which belongs to different applications that are somehow interlinked in terms of their functionality. Different databases requires different backup strategies, retention periods, and so different snapshot schedules. However, the level of granularity on Ops Manager "Continuous Backup" doesn't match the above requirement.

    Restore: How could we restore a single collection, or a database without touching the other databases/collections within a cluster? The restore process that we have today seems to be restoring the whole cluster and not to the level of database/collection. Queryable backup snapshot seems to be…

  14. Automation should handle multiple hostname aliases for each server

    In order to separate replication, client and administrative traffic, servers may have multiple network interfaces using different IP and hostname aliases associated with them.

    According to the requirements described on https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/current/tutorial/provisioning-prep/#server-networking-access Automation currently can use only the server hostname defined as hostname -f and cannot use any of the other aliases matching to other IP addresses for the other machine host aliases.

    Please add some way to customize which host alias Automation should use as a configuration parameter for the Agent.

  15. Allow customization of Alert's Subject/Body

    Currently alerts do not allow for any customization of the Subject or Body. It would be useful to allow customization of both the Subject and Body of emails and other alert methods. This would allow customers to add information, such as links to internal runbooks or documentation, to assist with resolving the alert.

  16. Notify about SSL/TLS Certificate Expiration Date & Time to warn customers about potential impact on their deployment availability

    What is the problem that needs to be solved? Customers run into SSL/TLS Certificate Expiration issues (where SSL/TLS certificate has expired) on their Ops Manager and MongoDB Server environments and they do not get any early notifications from Ops Manager about SSL/TLS Certificate Expiration.

    Why is it a problem? (the pain) Customers who use Ops Manager to manage/monitor their MongoDB Server deployments are running into situation where their configured SSL/TLS Certificates are expired, and thus have potential downtime for their applications.

  17. 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…

  18. Make the option of "security.TransitionToAuth" available through Ops Manager Advanced Configuration Options

    Currently the option of "security.TransitionToAuth" is not available in Ops Manager as "transitionToAuth" is automatically added to each node in a rolling fashion by the Automation agent and then ultimately removed when authentication is finally turned on for all nodes.

    Allowing this option through Ops Manager will enable the mongod to accept and create authenticated and non-authenticated connections to and from the connected clients. Thus the clients can use this feature to avoid downtime at their end while the connection settings are updated to use the appropriate user to connect to mongod.

  19. 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.

  20. In the event of an integrity check job failure, an alert should be shown on Ops manager UI instead of solely relying on email

    Integrity Check Jobs failures get emailed to the configured "mms.backup.alertsEmailAddr" address and logged in daemon.log. This information should also be available in Ops Manager UI so that the user can quickly check before trying any restoration.
