  1. Alerts: Webhook integration authentication with basic auth

    In secure environments, it is required that webhook endpoints are secured with basic authentication at a minimum. Currently, Webhook alerts only provides an HMAC-SHA-1 signature.

  2. Add memory monitoring metrics

    Atlas -> please make buffers, cached, and MEM shared available under system memory metrics on Atlas for end users so we can calculate the criteria for auto scaling .

    Currently only Mongodb support can see these three metrics

  3. Ops Manager Prometheus metrics

    MongoDB Ops Manager would need to expose endpoints for Prometheus for MongoDB Clusters. There are a number of metrics that popular MongoDB Exporters do not provide, for example:
    1. Enterprise Backup status
    2. Replication Alarms
    3. Agent statuses
    4. A number of Cluster statuses
    etc

    There is no way to get this data into Prometheus at the moment

  4. Sharded Cluster Snapshot Restores - Throttling and Src/Dst Mapping

    When restoring a sharded cluster snapshot, provide a means of mapping the source shard replica set names to the target shard replica set names. This will allow users to predictably restore large/small shards to the appropriate target hosts.

    Currently, this can be done for sharded clusters with fewer than 10 shards by naming the shards in a predicable shard## pattern. However, greater than ~10 shards leads to an alphabetical => alphanumeric restore plan (e.g. shardA10 restores to shardB2).

    Restoring large sharded clusters can also overwhelm networks where MongoDB Agents are downloading snapshots from Ops Manager(s) at the same time. Please…

  5. Encrypt Password LDAP Query User

    The LDAP Query user's password appears in plain text in mongod.config file. The ability to mask its password in automation config file using credentialstool would mitigate a security risk.

  6. Configure MongoDB Automation Agent collecting stats on some collection to not trigger alerts

    We just had a support case about some alerts being raised on our cluster because the MongoDB Automation Agent collecting stats on some collection doing queries without index triggers "Scanned Objects / Returned" ratio has went over 1000.

    It would be really nice to at least not raise alerts when it's the mongodb automation agent that triggered it. Were monitoring our alerts a lot and these are false positive we can't do anything about it seems other than create all the indexes it needs, which might change over time. We have no guarantee of which index it needs.

    Another alternative…

  7. 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.

  8. Introduce Helm Chart for MongoDB, MongoDBUser and secrets

    Provide a helm chart that deploys MongoDB, MongoDBUser, secrets and all other resources needed.

    The goal is to simplify the deployment of a MongoDB instance and everything that comes with it down to a helm one-liner.

  9. Allow conditions for all alerts based on DB/cluster name

    We have a need to route alerts based on our database/cluster's impacted instead of having them apply to any in the current project. I know some of them can condition based on host name, which uses the cluster name, but most alert types have no similar option.

    Examples would be:
    Search Index Build Complete
    Search Index Build Failed

    These are sent without conditions and even the message does not indicate what cluster they are for (although you can guess based on the collection name provided).

    We do not have the option to route these ourselves with a webhook, as the…

  10. Consider supporting the installation of mongosh via Ops Manager/automation agent

    Today, it is possible to install MongoDB software (mongoimport/export, mongodump/restore, mongo, bi connector) from Ops Manager via the automation agent.

    Ideally, it will be possible to have the same experience for the new MongoDB Shell (mongosh), so that customers don't need to put in place a separate set of processes nd scripts to install it.

  11. Add to the Continues Backup UI more information about the snapshots

    Currently, the Ops Manager UI under Continues Backup only shows the following information about the snapshots:
    - Replica set name
    - Status
    - Last Snapshot
    - Last Oplog Slice

    It would be very helpful to also see:
    - Start date/time
    - Finish date/time
    - Backup duration
    - Snapshot size

  13. Add collection level statistics to the measurements API

    Get Database Measurements currently provides information from dbStats.

    Adding collection level statistics would be useful for gathering information via the API on a regular basis to measure growth of each collection and other metrics. Data Explorer functionality is not available via the API.

  14. Ability to customize subject line for System & Global Alerts

    Currently there's no way to customize the subject line of either a system or global alert. The subject line only has the project name & time. It doesn't even say why the alert was generated until the email alert is opened. Having the ability to modify the subject line, even if it's to certain predefined fields such as alert condition for example would be helpful in addressing alerts in an efficient and effective manner.

  15. Collect hardware metrics even if there's no managed mongo process

    Collect hardware metrics even if there's no managed mongo process

    Have Automation Agent collect hardware metrics on unmanaged mongo hosts.

    Automation agents doesn't collect hardware metrics unless there's a managed mongo process. This means we can't provide centralized system monitoring for a heterogeneous environment, where some clusters are running on their own and others are under automation, or on any non-managed host.

  16. Add `serverStatus.uptime` counter info into Metrics

    What is the problem that needs to be solved? We already collect serverStatus.uptime counter info from each and every MongoDB Server process, so we just need to add serverStatus.uptime counter info into Metrics so that it will be possible to track serverStatus.uptime changes through the time.

    Why is it a problem? (the pain) If you'd like to calculate MongoDB Server process availability to know for how long your MongoDB Server process(es) was/were up and running, you'll need to analyze MongoDB Server process logs (in case if they are ever available for required period of time) to see last time MongoDB…

  18. 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

    Hi,
    in our environment (managed by OPS Manager) we have a lot of mongodb instances in the same server, would be useful having a function/method/command to exec the shutdown/startup of all instances running in an specified server.
    At the moment there is only a command to shutdown/startup at scope of cluster (ReplicaSet): https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongocli/v1.18/command/mongocli-ops-manager-clusters-shutdown/
    Thanks,

  20. “Content-Security-Policy” header

    Hello,

    We want to add the “Content-Security-Policy” header to the OpsManager/MongoDB answers to increase the security level:

    frame-ancestors 'none' (Do not render in frames)
    script-src 'self': only loads scripts originating on the site (subdomains excluded)
    default-src 'none': recommended for services returning HTML.
    Could you please tell us how to set up these elements ?

    Thank you in advance for your support.

    Regards
