Hosts

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://{OPSMANAGER-HOST}:{PORT}/api/public/v1.0

The hosts resource defines the mongod and mongos processes in your deployment. Each process is identified by a unique hostname and port combination. When you add a mongod or mongos to Ops Manager, Ops Manager automatically discovers various valid hostname and port combinations for the process. DNS records the names you can use to access a given host. Ops Manager ranks the hostnames to choose a "primary" hostname. Hostnames with the most periods rank highest, while the loopback address (127.0.0.1) and localhost lowest. Ops Manager treats the "losing" hostnames as host aliases.

When Ops Manager receives a ping from the Monitoring, the algorithm for assigning a primary hostname repeats. As a result, the primary hostname may change over time. You can also specify preferred hostnames in Ops Manager's project settings to override the hostname algorithm.

The following endpoints are available for hosts.
