Automation Configuration Resource¶
Overview¶
The Public API provides the automationConfig
resource to let you
manipulate your group’s automation configuration. The configuration defines the
various MongoDB clusters, replica sets and standalones in the
deployment and defines how each process runs. The Automation Agents
build the deployment according to the goals specified. Each Automation
Agent is responsible for the MongoDB processes that run on its host.
The configuration also specifies settings for the deployment’s agents.
When a running MongoDB process matches its defined configuration, the process is in “goal state.” When all processes on all hosts are in goal state, the deployment itself is in goal state.
To update the automation configuration, you must issue the request from an IP address on your user account’s whitelist.
Endpoints¶
Get the Automation Configuration¶
Retrieve the current automation configuration for a group.
Update the Automation Configuration¶
Use PUT
to update a group’s automation configuration. Do not
use PATCH
. For steps for updating an automation configuration, see
Update the Automation Configuration.
To make updates to the Monitoring Agent or Backup Agent other than
hostname
, you must do so through a different endpoint. See
Update the Monitoring Agent or Backup Agent.
When you submit updates, Ops Manager makes internal modifications to the data and then saves your new configuration version. For example, Ops Manager might add a field to each specified community MongoDB version to indicate where the agents download them from.
The Automation Agents continuously poll Ops Manager for changes to the configuration and fetch configuration updates when they occur. The agents then adjust the states of their live processes to match.
Warning
There is no protection in the Public API to prevent concurrent modifications. If two administrators both start with a configuration based on the current version, make their own modifications, and then submit their modifications, the later modification wins.
Update the Monitoring Agent or Backup Agent¶
Some attributes of the monitoringVersions
and backupVersions
objects cannot be updated through the automationConfig
endpoint.
Ops Manager provides the following endpoints to update these fields.
Important
Do not use these endpoints to update the agent’s host. To update
monitoringVersions.hostname
or backupVersions.hostname
, use the
endpoint to update the entire configuration.
Update Monitoring Agent attributes:
Update Backup Agent attributes:
The endpoints update the following agent attributes. Pass an object with all the attributes that you use, whether or not the value is changing. If you do not use a field, do not include it:
logPath
(required for non-Windows operating systems)logPathWindows
(required for Windows operating systems)logRotate
logRotate.sizeThresholdMB
logRotate.timeThresholdHrs
logRotate.numUncompressed
logRotate.percentOfDiskspace
username
password
kerberosPrincipal
kerberosKeytab
kerberosWindowsUsername
(only required if Windows MongoDB deployment uses Kerberos authentication)kerberosWindowsPassword
(only required if Windows MongoDB deployment uses Kerberos authentication)sslPEMKeyFile
sslPEMKeyFileWindows
(only required if deployment contains Windows processes)sslPEMKeyPwd
Update Agent Versions¶
This endpoint updates the Automation Agent, Monitoring Agent, Backup Agent and tools to the latest versions available at the time of the request:
After this request completes, Ops Manager modifies the agent configuration and saves the updated version. To learn more about executing this request, see this example.
Other Representations of the Automation Configuration¶
The Automation Agent stores a copy of the configuration in the
mms-cluster-config-backup.json
file. The agent stores the most
recent version of configuration with which the agent was able to
reach goal state. If an agent is not able to process configuration
changes, it continues to store an older version of the configuration.
Users with global roles can view Ops Manager’s
internal representation of the deployment configuration, which is
much larger than the automation configuration and includes
additional fields used only internally. Never use this
representation to update the automation configuration. The
representation is called the Raw AutomationConfig
is viewable
through the Deployment page.

New deployments of MongoDB 3.4 automatically set the value of this field to “3.4”. However, upgrading a host from 3.2 to 3.4 does not automatically add the field with a value of 3.4. See the setFeatureCompatibilityVersion reference for more information about behavior and affected features. |

processes.alias | string | Optional. A hostname alias (often a DNS CNAME) for the server on
which the process runs. If an alias is specified, the Automation
Agent prefers the alias over the host specified in
processes.hostname when connecting to the server. You can
also specify this alias in replicaSets.host and

that replica sets are configured correctly. If a problem occurs,
the agent reconfigures the replica set according to its
configuration document. The array can contain the following
top-level fields from a replica set configuration document:
_id ; version ; and members . For more information on the

sharding | object array | Optional. Objects that define the configuration of each sharded cluster. Each object in the array contains the specifications for one cluster. The Automation Agent regularly checks each cluster’s state against the specifications. If the specification and cluster don’t match, the agent will change the configuration of the cluster, which might cause the balancer to migrate chunks. |
sharding.managedSharding | boolean | If true , Ops Manager Automation manages all sharded collections

sharding.shards.tags | array of strings | If you use zoned sharding, the zones assigned to the shard. |
sharding.tags | object array | If you use zoned sharding, this array defines the zones. Each object in this array defines a zone and configures the shard key range for that zone. |
sharding.tags.ns | string | The namespace of the collection that uses zoned sharding.
The namespace is the combination of the database name and the name of
the collection. For example, testdb.testcoll . |
sharding.tags.min | array | The minimum value of the shard key range. Specify the field name, field type, and value in a document of the following form.
To use a compound shard key, specify each field in a separate document, as shown in the example after this table. For more information on shard keys, see Shard Keys in the MongoDB manual. |
sharding.tags.max | array | The maximum value of the shard key range. Specify the field name, field type, and value in a document of the following form.
To use a compound shard key, specify each field in a separate document, as shown in the example after this table. For more information on shard keys, see Shard Keys in the MongoDB manual. |

the shard key range specified by sharding.tags.min and
sharding.tags.max . |
Example
The sharding.tags
Array with Compound Shard Key
The following example configuration defines a compound shard key range with a
min value of { a : 1, b : ab }
and a max value of { a : 100, b : fg }

The example defines the range on the testdb.test1
collection and assigns
it to zone zone1
