Enable Database Users to View MongoDB Atlas Cluster Metrics

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

Currently, MongoDB Atlas does not provide a way for database-level users to view cluster performance metrics. This includes essential information such as CPU utilization, memory usage, IOPS, connection counts, slow queries, and other cluster health indicators. Because database users cannot access these metrics, they are unable to perform necessary integration tasks or diagnose performance issues without relying on project-level or administrative privileges.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

We would like MongoDB Atlas to introduce a database-level role or permission that allows database users to access essential cluster metrics

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

For integration processes we want the ability to monitor cluster health without granting project-level or administrative privileges

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

Monitoring must be performed by users with higher privileges

    Hi Team,

    As of now, MongoDB Atlas does not provide a feature that allows database users to view cluster metrics such as CPU usage, memory utilization, IOPS, connections, slow queries, or other performance-related info. Could you please introduce a database-level role or permission that allows database users to monitor cluster health and performance metrics, as we need this capability for integration purposes.

    Thanks
