An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Pranav, It's important to be aware that Provisioned IOPS are not the same thing as general purpose IOPS: provisioned are guaranteed whereas general purpose are variable and best effort. This has real ramifications for many classes of workloads but not all.

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for flagging this one Sebastian. We've developed a CloudFormation resource and will be looking into how we can weave that into an integrated CDK experience over time.

I realize this isn't precisely what you're looking for but in case it helps, you can programmatically access the Performance Advisor's recommendations via the API:

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Harshad,
Great idea: it's unfortunately more complex to implement than it sounds, requiring some core changes to the authorization model on the database engine. I will share with the right people though.

Thank you for your patience. Connecting Atlas clusters with GCP service accounts (workload identity federation) is in development and currently planned to be available in Q1 2024 (which is subject to change). The functionality will require MongoDB 7 in Atlas and initially will be supported in Java, Node, Python, C#/.NET, and Go drivers.
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Geoffrey, It's worth emphasizing that AzureAD with Domain Services can present the LDAPS protocol which Atlas supports
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Ion, Can you help share a little bit about your use case, and what this would help you achieve? Thank you

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Alona,
Are you aware that you can set the write concern in the connection string?
We are looking at changing the default write concern in an upcoming major version of the database engine: is it fair to assume you're looking to default to majority?
Thanks

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Locus (I'm sorry your name isn't showing so apologies for calling you "Locus"),
Thank you for flagging this issue; I regret the inconvenience this has caused you.
Out of curiosity, do you use infrastructure as code automation? We have a Terraform provider for Atlas that may be beneficial to you: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/mongodb/mongodbatlas/latest/docs
This paradigm allows you to declarative manage your infrastructure in code and deliver consistency across environments. I realize this is not a trivial undertaking if you don't use these tools today so do not share this lightly and apologize that we don't have the experience you're looking for today.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Klaus,
Can you provide more detail on what you're aiming to use SNMP for and whether you're using SNMP in the public cloud more generally? We've not seen it come up outside the on-prem paradigm and want to make sure we're tracking the technologies customers are using.
What are you looking to use SNMP for: alerting? could you use one of MongoDB Atlas's many other alerting destinations instead?
Thanks

The first-order cost contributor to an Atlas cluster is its compute (memory and CPU) requirements rather than storage size. Unfortunately larger and larger numbers of connections require more compute. Note that you may be able to optimize with connection pools.

You can actually do this within the scope of the project's own alert settings (rather than the organization scoped alerting).

Definitely a cool concept. I do want to make sure that you're aware that you can pull this data via an API endpoint programmatically https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/api/events and can from there route the data to a destination of your choice. You could probably do this with a scheduled Trigger powered by MongoDB Realm by the way: https://docs.mongodb.com/realm/triggers/scheduled-triggers

If we made it possible to alert on actions or deployments that meet or exceed certain criteria, would that offer a helpful mitigating control?
Thanks

Atlas contemplates the use case of being able to return to a point in time differently, through our Cloud Continuous Backups: these allow for up to the minute restores and leverage some of the same primitives that the replication system leverages (namely the internal oplog). This has the added benefit of giving you the ability to select the point of time to restore to rather than a specific delay period.

An error occurred while saving the comment H Geoffrey,
The in-console Project and Organization level Activity Feed (which is also accessible via the Events API endpoint https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/api/events) is actually retained for much longer than 30 days. At this time it is actually retained forever but we will likely be forced to cap it in future.
For completeness, it's the database process logs and database audit logs which are maintained for 30 days.
Cheers

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Vipin,
Note that it's not possible to downgrade after the Feature Compatibility Version has been upgraded, and generally we recommend running a test in a staging environment before upgrading production.
Please reach out proactively to MongoDB support about options.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Aniketh,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to provide this feedback. This is big and exciting feedback. Information architecture for the platform is definitely a tough one and there are tradeoffs to different approaches. We will definitely consider your perspective as we figure out where to go next.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Guillaume, have you thought about using the Atlas Backup/Restore for this use case instead?
Cheers

Hi Steven, Please see MongoDB Cloud Manager which is a sibling product to MongoDB Ops Manager delivered as a SaaS service: obviously the value prop is not the same as a truly end to end managed service like MongoDB Atlas, but this gives you a consistent look and feel and single sign on for managing your on-prem environments.
