Trigger an Initial Sync for One Process

Trigger Initial Sync

Use Ops Manager Automation to start an initial sync process on one or more MongoDB instances. This resynchronizes data stored on MongoDB nodes in clusters.

Considerations

You can only resync secondary nodes.
A node might become the primary between the time when you trigger a resync and when it runs. In this case, the MongoDB Agent waits for you to connect to the node manually and run the rs.stepDown() command.
You can only schedule one node in any given replica set to resync at a given time. While one node resyncs, the Ops Manager disables the Resync option for all other nodes.
