Automation Configuration
On this page
Overview
The Automation uses an automation configuration to determine the desired state of a MongoDB deployment and to effect changes as needed. If you modify the deployment through the Ops Manager web interface, you never need manipulate this configuration.
If you are using the Automation without Ops Manager, you can construct and distribute the configuration manually.
Optional fields are marked as such.
A field that takes a <number>
as its value can take integers and
floating point numbers.
Note
Ops Manager doesn't support configuration and management of the MongoDB
server net.unixDomainSocket
options such as net.unixDomainSocket.enabled
,
net.unixDomainSocket.pathPrefix
, and
net.unixDomainSocket.filePermissions
using the Ops Manager
automation configuration.
Ops Manager automation doesn't validate the following MongoDB settings. If you provide an incorrect value, it could result in issues, downtime, or both:
Configuration Version
This lists the version of the automation configuration.
"version" : "<integer>"
Name | Type | Necessity | Description |
---|---|---|---|
version | integer | Required | Revision of this automation configuration file. |
Download Base
Ops Manager downloads automatic versions and runs starting scripts in the directory set in options.downloadBase.
"options" : { "downloadBase" : "<string>", }
Name | Type | Necessity | Description |
---|---|---|---|
options | object | Required | Path for automatic downloads of new versions. |
options.downloadBase | string | Required | Directory on Linux and UNIX platforms for
automatic version downloads and startup scripts. |

To remove any ambiguity as to when you intend to reclaim the
space on the cluster's disks, specify a time zone with your

to 28 January 2021 at 2:43:52 PM US Central Standard Time, use
|
processes[n].lastRestart | string | Optional | Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC when Ops Manager last restarted this process. If you

fashion across members of the replica set or shards. |
processes[n].lastResync | string | Optional | Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC of the last initial sync process that Ops Manager performed on the node.

| ||||||||||||
auth.usersWanted[n].userSource | string | Deprecated | No longer supported. | ||||||||||||

an array of string values that list the roles be assigned from
that database. | ||||||||||||
auth.usersWanted[n].authenticationRestrictions | array of documents | Optional | Authentication restrictions that the host enforces on the user.

the client's IP address is not present, the host does not
authenticate the user. | ||||||||||||
auth.usersWanted[n].authenticationRestrictions[k].serverAddress | array of strings | Conditional | Comma-separated array of IP addresses to which the client can
connect. If present, the host verifies that Ops Manager accepted the
client's connection from an IP address in the given array. If
the connection was accepted from an unrecognized IP address, the
host doesn't authenticate the user. |
LDAP
The ldap
object enables LDAP authorization. This
object is optional. To learn more, see Enable LDAP Authentication for your Ops Manager Project.

---|---|---|---|
ldap | object | Optional | Object that contains the settings to enable and configure LDAP
authorization. |
ldap.servers | string | Conditional | Comma-separated string that contains one or more LDAP servers
in <host>:<port> format to execute queries against. You can
use setParameter to configure this setting on a running
system. For LDAP authorization, you must specify this setting. |
ldap.timeoutMS | long | Optional | Amount of time in milliseconds that MongoDB waits for an LDAP
server to respond to a request before timing out. You can use
setParameter to configure this setting on a running system.
By default, MongoDB times out after ten seconds. |
ldap.bindMethod | string | Optional | Human-readable string that indicates whether to use simple
authentication or an SASL protocol to authenticate itself. You
can specify simple or sasl . By default, MongoDB uses
simple authentication. |
ldap.bindSaslMechanisms | string | Optional | String that contains a comma-separated list of SASL mechanisms
for MongoDB to attempt authentication against the LDAP
server while binding. By default, MongoDB uses DIGEST-MD5 to
bind. |
ldap.bindQueryUser | string | Conditional | LDAP entity domain name that MongoDB binds as when it connects
to an LDAP server. You can use setParameter to configure
this setting on a running system. For MongoDB to bind with
authentication credentials, you must specify this setting. |

server. You can use setParameter to configure this setting
on a running system. For MongoDB to bind with a password, you
must specify this setting. |
ldap.userCacheInvalidationPeriod | integer | Optional | Interval that MongoDB waits between user cache flushes. When the
external user cache is flushed, the next operation that an
LDAP authorized user makes requires a reaquisition of roles.
If you specify a high value, you might decrease the load on
your LDAP servers and increase the amount of time needed to
synchronize MongoDB roles with LDAP group membership. By
default, MongoDB waits 30 seconds between cache flushes. |
ldap.authzQueryTemplate | string | Conditional | RFC 4516 formatted URL of the LDAP query to
execute to obtain LDAP groups relative to the ldap.server
setting. In this URL, the placeholder token string {USER}
is replaced with the acquired user domain name. You can use
setParameter to configure this setting on a running system.
For LDAP authorization, you must specify this setting. |
ldap.userToDNMapping | array | Optional | JSON-formatted array that contains the ordered transformations
that MongoDB applies to authenticate MongoDB user names to match
their domain names. You can specify this setting if you use an
alternate authentication method, or if the user name passed to
MongoDB for authentication doesn't match the LDAP domain name.
You can use setParameter to configure this setting on a
running system. By default, MongoDB uses user names as the
domain names for automatic LDAP authorization. |
