An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Tucker,
We're very excited to bring MongoDB Atlas to GCP Jakarta! We expect to do so very soon (targeting by end of month but there is always some forward looking uncertainty).
Cheers

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Johannes,
Thanks for filing this: We are working on a next-generation platform enhancement that will offer a different architecture and way of scaling in a more liquid manner without downtime or the other rough edges you've mentioned here. This is a major undertaking but stay tuned for next year: I wish we had something for you sooner.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Simon, When you refer to Dashboards here, are you talking about MongoDB Charts? or are you talking about MongoDB Atlas more generally?

We plan to introduce $1/month backups for the M0 free tier in the future: this capability remains a few months out: I'm sorry we don't have it sooner for you.
Cheers

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the context, Winston. We are definitely keen to figure out how to get here longer term in context of an improved billing experience.
-Andrew
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Winston,
We're definitely looking at how this would optimally work long term. Can you share any more detail around how you would like to use these--is it for filtering, for remembering, for billing, other use cases? The more color you can add the more helpful it will be for us.
Cheers

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Simone, Thanks for flagging this use case: We definitely want to improve telemetry over time. Can you share a little more detail around how you would use this: would to do this to compare longer-time periods than months, e.g. quarter over quarter spend, year over year, etc?
Thanks

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Dan,
Out of curiosity, what is your preferred cloud provider? We plan to introduce push-based integrations for logs to cloud object storage in the future, targeting S3 first: we believe it should be easy to go to any SIEM or log solution like Splunk from there. I'm sorry we don't have something to serve your needs yet.
Note that we have pull-based integrations with jSonar (they can push to Splunk I believe) and Sumo Logic today.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Todd,
We'd love to see you provide this feedback to Splunk too. We do plan to introduce a push-based destination for logs to S3 in the future which will open up more options.
Otherwise, in the interim we have pull-based integrations from jSonar (they can in fact route to Splunk) and Sumo Logic.
Cheers

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Shil, If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to set the log level via a runtime parameter over the wire protocol in Atlas: note that this will be set until the process is next restarted.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Adriaan,
Regarding (a) is it possible that you could integration MongoDB Atlas into your infrastructure as code posture using our Terraform provider? Or would Atlas be the only part of your stack using Terraform and that would be burdensome? We could explore introducing better integrations from Azure DevOps to MongoDB Atlas management over time--it's something we'd likely want to talk to you about for guidance in future.
Regarding (b) That makes sense: note that MongoDB Atlas does aim to provide easy to use billing visibility including at a glance rollups of Project-level spend within an Atlas Org: also this billing data is accessible through the Atlas API and can also be downloaded in CSV form for processing. Note as well that you can procure annualized subscriptions via the Azure marketplace. We would be happy to work with you to try to alleviate these challenges over time: many of our customers work through this including the political internal charge-back management, and we have resources that can help.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Zach, This is great feedback: thank you. We are exploring how to improve the local development experience over time. I hope you don't mind if we reach out to directly for more insight :)

Project Data Access Read Only should already have permissions to download Log files. I see there is an out of date note in our docs about this on https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/api/logs/index.html which I will have corrected.
Please do post an update if you can confirm the access works for you.
Thanks

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Anand,
This certainly makes sense and is something we'd like to explore in the future. Out of curiosity, have you looked at programmatically driving this on a cron job with the Atlas API or Terraform provider?

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks Raghu, One of the reasons the name is tough to change is that it's part of the cluster hostname. Out of curiosity, would you prefer a model where the cluster hostnames were a truly random string but you could alias your cluster name in the UI?
Cheers

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Decky, I am not quite clear on what you're proposing here: mind elaborating further? What's happening today that you think needs to be improved?
Thanks

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Chandler,
Note that Atlas offers this capability for Project Owners in context of the Real Time Performance Panel.
Offering this capability at the database level is possible for the user that initiated the operation today as well.
Offering this capability universally at the database level is not an option over the medium term -- fundamental architectural changes would need to be made to the database engine authz framework for this to be introduced into Atlas safely and we have been prioritizing elsewhere.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Hanspeter, We're targeting introducing Azure Private Link support later this year and aspire for that to be the way to get the transitive access you seek. In the interim you can leverage public IP whitelisting from your NAT'd public IP on-prem directly to Atlas, noting that Atlas requires end to end TLS network encryption.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Renato,
A few notes: MongoDB Atlas database users do have the concept of an expiration time (we call these temporary users).
It's true that for MongoDB's SCRAM user/pass authentication option, Atlas does not allow you to define password rules: You can however look at using our Vault secrets engine integration which can do a lot of this for you: https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/secrets/databases/mongodbatlas
Separately Atlas does support three other authentication options:
- Passwordless X.509 client side certificates
- LDAP which allows you to bring your own identity provider which can have its own rules (this model requires that Atlas cluster nodes be able to reach your LDAP service over the network, however)
- and finally, with the introduction of MongoDB 4.4 beta: AWS IAM User/Role based authentication.Cheers

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Juan,
Have you looked at running mongomirror yourself? This gives you the ability to "push" the data from your VPC to Atlas, and mongomirror is what powers Live Migration. For completeness, this model works for replica sets but not sharded clusters. https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/import/mongomirror/

An error occurred while saving the comment Gotcha, and Splunk can't be configured to receive an alert notification in-bound using a "lower tech" method like email or SMS?
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Alex,
This can likely be done with Webhooks

Hi thanks for filing but can you please share a little bit more about your use case?
MongoDB Sharding is built on the assumption of symmetrically sized shards.
In Atlas Global Clusters, the way to scale different geo-zones to different levels of throughput is to introduce more shards into the zones that need more capacity (or to grow into more zones over time).
Cheers
