Configure Project Alerts

On this page

  • Considerations
  • Prerequisites
  • Procedure

You can use Atlas Kubernetes Operator to configure alerts to help you monitor access to and the state of the database deployments in your Atlas projects.

To learn more, see Configure Alert Settings.

Considerations

In your AtlasProject Custom Resource, use the spec.alertConfigurationSyncEnabled and spec.withDefaultAlertsSettings settings to manage Atlas alert configurations. The following table describes the action that Atlas Kubernetes Operator takes based on how you configure these settings:

spec.alertConfigurationSyncEnabled
spec.withDefaultAlertsSettings
Behavior

true

true

Atlas Kubernetes Operator creates a project using the default alert configuration. After Atlas Kubernetes Operator creates the project, the alert confgurations that you define in your AtlasProject Custom Resource override the alert configurations on Atlas for your project.

true

false

Atlas Kubernetes Operator creates a project without adding the default alert configurations. After Atlas Kubernetes Operator creates the project, the alert confgurations that you define in your AtlasProject Custom Resource override the alert configurations on Atlas for your project.

false

true

Atlas Kubernetes Operator creates a project using the default alert configuration. Atlas Kubernetes Operator doesn't syncronize alert definitions on Atlas with those you define in your AtlasProject Custom Resource.

false

false

Atlas Kubernetes Operator creates a project without adding the default alert configurations. Atlas Kubernetes Operator doesn't syncronize alert definitions on Atlas with those you define in your AtlasProject Custom Resource.

Prerequisites

You need the following public API key, private API key, and the organization ID information to configure Atlas Kubernetes Operator access to Atlas.

  • If you want Atlas Kubernetes Operator to create a new Atlas project, Grant Programmatic Access to an Organization. If your organization requires an IP access list for the Atlas Administration API, you must also configure the API access list.

    Important

    You must assign the API key the Organization Project Creator organization role or higher.

  • If you want to work with an existing Atlas project, Add Project Access from a Project. If your organization requires an IP access list for the Atlas Administration API, you must also configure the API access list.

    Important

    You must assign the API key the Project Owner project role.

To learn more, see Configure Access to Atlas.

Procedure

To configure project alerts, configure the AtlasProject Custom Resource.

Example:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: atlas.mongodb.com/v1
kind: AtlasProject
metadata:
  name: my-project
spec:
  name: TestAlertConfig
  connectionSecretRef:
    name: my-atlas-key
  projectIpAccessList:
    - cidrBlock: "0.0.0.0/1"
      comment: "Everyone has access. For test purposes only."
    - cidrBlock: "128.0.0.0/1"
      comment: "Everyone has access. For test purposes only."
  alertConfigurations:
  - eventTypeName: "REPLICATION_OPLOG_WINDOW_RUNNING_OUT",
    enabled: true,
    notifications:
      -  delayMin: 0
         emailEnabled: true
         intervalMin: 60
         roles: [ "GROUP_OWNER" ]
         smsEnabled: false
         typeName: "GROUP"
      threshold:
         operator: "LESS_THAN",
         threshold: 1,
         units: "HOURS"
  alertConfigurationSyncEnabled: true
  withDefaultAlertsSettings: false
 EOF

The parameters that you must specify in the AtlasProject Custom Resource depend on the alert that you want to configure.

To learn more about the configuration parameters available from the API, see Alert Configurations.
