Cloud Manager will no longer support Automation, Backup, and Monitoring for MongoDB 3.6 and 4.0 after August 30th, 2024. Please upgrade your MongoDB deployment or migrate to Atlas.

OAuth 2.0 authentication for programmatic access to Cloud Manager is available as a Preview feature.: The feature and the corresponding documentation might change at any time during the Preview period. To use OAuth 2.0 authentication, create a service account to use in your requests to the Cloud Manager Public API.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {PROJECT-ID} is the same as your project id. For existing groups, your group/project id remains the same. This page uses the more familiar term group when referring to descriptions. The endpoint remains as stated in the document.

Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0

Resource

GET /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/backupConfigs/{CLUSTER-ID}

Request Parameters

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Necessity	Description
PROJECT-ID	string	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project that holds the cluster with the backup configuration you want to find.
CLUSTER-ID	string	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the cluster whose backup configuration you want to find.

Request Query Parameters

The following query parameters are optional:

Name

Type

Necessity

Description

Default

pretty

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.

false

envelope

boolean

Optional

Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

Name	Description
`status`	HTTP response code
`content`	Expected response body

false

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

Response

Name	Type	Description
availableMembers	string array	List of cluster members available for backup. Appears only for member requests.
clusterId	string	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the cluster to configure for backup.
excludedNamespaces	string array	List of database names and collection names to omit from the backup. Each string is a namespace in the form of `{database}` or `{database}.{collection}`. If this field is present the `includedNamespaces` field cannot be present. You must send the new full list of excluded namespaces, including any that were already listed. If the new list removes any namespaces from the previous list, you must also set the `syncSource` field, as the removal of an excluded namespace necessitates a full resync. Without the `syncSource` field, the request will fail. If the new list only adds to the previous list, you do not need to set `syncSource`.
groupId	string	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project that owns this backup configuration.
includedNamespaces	string array	List of database names and collection names to include in the backup. Each string is a namespace in the form of `{database}` or `{database}.{collection}`. Any namespace not listed in this array will not be backed up. If this field is present the `excludedNamespaces` field cannot be present. You must send the new full list of included namespaces, including any that were already listed. If the new list adds any namespaces to the previous list, you must also set the `syncSource` field, as the addition of an included namespace necessitates a full resync. Without the `syncSource` field, the request will fail. If the new list only removes namespaces from the previous list, you do not need to set `syncSource`.
links	object array	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. All `links` arrays in responses include at least one link called `self`. The relationships between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
preferredMember	string	Cluster member manually designated as the preferred member for backup. Appears only for member requests when the preferred member is set with the UI or API.
sslEnabled	boolean	Flag that indentifies whether TLS is enabled for the sync source database.
statusName	string	Current (or desired) status of the backup configuration. Possible values are: `INACTIVE` `PROVISIONING` `STARTED` `STOPPED` `TERMINATING`
storageEngineName	string	Storage engine used for the backup. Possible values are: `MEMORY_MAPPED` `WIRED_TIGER`

Example Request

curl --user "{PUBLIC-KEY}:{PRIVATE-KEY}" --digest \
     --header "Accept: application/json" \
     --include \
     --request GET "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0/groups/{PROJECT-ID}/backupConfigs/{CLUSTER-ID}"

When each snapshot starts, Cloud Manager selects a replica set member to run the snapshot. This automatically selected member should have the least performance impact on the replica set. You can override the default selection.

Important

Use default selection whenever possible. This choice ensures backup availability.

The following request returns the available members.

curl --user "{PUBLIC-KEY}:{PRIVATE-KEY}" --digest \
     --header "Accept: application/json" \
     --include \
     --request GET "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0/groups/{PROJECT-ID}/backupConfigs/{CLUSTER-ID}/availableMembers?pretty=true"

Important

Use default selection whenever possible. This choice ensures backup availability.

The following response includes the available members and the designated preferred member. If a preferred member is undefined, then it is excluded from the response.
