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.

PATCH /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-ID}/snapshots/{SNAPSHOT-ID}

Request Parameters

Request Path Parameters

Name	Type	Description
PROJECT-ID	string	Unique identifier of the project that owns the snapshot.
CLUSTER-ID	string	Unique identifier of the cluster that the snapshot represents.
SNAPSHOT-ID	string	Unique identifier of the snapshot.

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

Name	Type	Description
doNotDelete	boolean	Indicator that the snapshot cannot be deleted. IMPORTANT: You cannot set `doNotDelete` to `true` and set a timestamp for `expires` in the same request. If you do, Cloud Manager returns an error: `Cannot modify snapshot because of invalid fields.`
expires	timestamp	The date in ISO 8601 date and time format at UTC after which this snapshot can be deleted. If `doNotDelete` is set to `true`, any existing value in `expires` is removed. If `expires` is set to a timestamp at or before the current date and time, Cloud Manager deletes the snapshot at its next opportunity. There is no guarantee that the snapshot would be deleted immediately. If the current `expires` timestamp has already passed, it cannot be edited.

Response

`Name`	Type	Description
`clusterId`	string	Unique identifier of the cluster the snapshot represents.
`complete`	boolean	Flag that indicates the snapshot has been created. This is `false` if the snapshot creation job is still in progress.
`created`	document	Components of a timestamp.
`created` `.date`	timestamp	iso8601-time when the snapshot was taken.
`created` `.increment`	integer	Operation order in which this snapshot took place at this exact point in time. To learn how timestamps work in MongoDB, see Timestamps.
`doNotDelete`	boolean	Flag that indicates the snapshot cannot be deleted.
`expires`	timestamp	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC at UTC after which this snapshot can be deleted. If `doNotDelete` is set to `true`, any value in `expires` is removed. If the `expires` value is earlier than the current date and time, it cannot be edited.
`groupId`	string	Unique identifier of the project that owns the snapshot.
`id`	string	Unique identifier of the snapshot.
`isPossibly` `Inconsistent`	boolean	Flag that indicates the consistency of this snapshot. `isPossiblyInconsistent` appears for sharded cluster snapshots only. To take a snapshot of a sharded cluster in a consistent state, the Backup temporarily turns off the balancer before creating the snapshot. In some cases, it cannot turn off the balancer in a timely manner. The snapshot is then created with the balancer still running. If this happens, the snapshot may be in an inconsistent state (e.g., chunk migrations may be in progress).
`lastOplog` `AppliedTimestamp`	document	Components of the timestamp of the last oplog entry was applied.
`lastOplog` `AppliedTimestamp` `.date`	timestamp	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC at UTC when the last oplog was applied.
`lastOplog` `AppliedTimestamp` `.increment`	integer	Operation order in which last oplog was applied at this exact point in time. To learn how timestamps work in MongoDB, see Timestamps.
`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.
`namespaceFilterList`	object	namespaces that are included or excluded from this snapshot.
`namespaceFilterList` `.filterList`	string array	Comma-separated list of any combination of databases or namespaces that are exclusively included or explicitly excluded from the snapshot. The default value is an empty array (`[]`).
`namespaceFilterList` `.filterType`	string	Label that determines how namespaces are filtered for this snapshot. If this value is set to `blacklist`, namespaces in `namespaceFilterList.filterList` are excluded from the snapshot. If this value is set to `whitelist`, only namespaces in `namespaceFilterList.filterList` are included in the snapshot. The default value is `blacklist`.
`missingShards`	array of objects	List of shards that the snapshot is missing. `missingShards` appears for sharded cluster snapshots only. In steady state, this array is empty. If the Backup cannot connect to a shard when a snapshot is created, the shard is omitted from the snapshot. Each document in the array is a cluster document containing a `self` link.
`missingShards` `.id`	string	Unique identifier of the missing shard.
`missingShards` `.groupId`	string	Unique identifier of the project that owns the missing shard.
`missingShards` `.typeName`	string	Type of server that the missing shard represents: `CONFIG_SERVER_REPLICA_SET` `REPLICA_SET`
`missingShards` `.clusterName`	string	Name of the cluster for the missing shard.
`missingShards` `.shardName`	string	Name of the missing shard.
`missingShards` `.replicaSetName`	string	Name of the replica set in the missing shard.
`missingShards` `.lastHeartbeat`	timestamp	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC at UTC when the last heartbeat was received from the missing shard.
`parts`	array of objects	Individual parts that comprise the complete snapshot. For a replica set, this array contains a single document. For a sharded cluster, this array contains one document for each shard plus one document for the config server.
`parts` `.clusterId`	string	Unique identifier of the replica set.
`parts` `.compressionSetting`	string	Method of compression for the snapshot.
`parts` `.dataSizeBytes`	number	Total size of the data in the snapshot in bytes.
`parts` `.encryptionEnabled`	boolean	Indicator of the state of encryption of the snapshot data.
`parts` `.fileSizeBytes`	number	Total size of the data files in bytes.
`parts` `.masterKeyUUID`	string	KMIP master key ID used to encrypt the snapshot data. `parts.masterKeyUUID` appears only if this snapshot has `parts.encryptionEnabled : true`.
`parts` `.mongodVersion`	string	Version of `mongod` that the replica set primary was running when the snapshot was created.
`parts` `.replicaSetName`	string	Name of the replica set.
`parts` `.storageSizeBytes`	number	Total size of space allocated for document storage.
`parts` `.typeName`	string	Type of server that the part represents: `REPLICA_SET` `CONFIG_SERVER_REPLICA_SET`

`links` Array

The links array includes one or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification

Relation	Description
self	The URL endpoint for this resource.
