Instance monitoring

New feature

The instance monitoring feature is added for ApsaraDB for MongoDB. The feature supports the following monitoring methods and allows you to customize a combination range to view the monitoring data of multiple nodes:

  • Multi-node monitoring: displays the aggregation results after the monitoring values of multiple nodes within a selected combination range are averaged. This allows you to view the overall running status of the nodes from each dimension.

  • Per-node monitoring: separately displays the monitoring values of multiple nodes within a selected combination range. This allows you to compare the running status of each node.

Restoration of the databases in a replica set instance that uses cloud disks

New feature

You can restore one or more databases in an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set instance that uses cloud disks to the original instance.

If you accidentally delete a single collection or document, you can perform the operation to restore the collection or document.

Key-based flashback for instances

New feature

ApsaraDB for MongoDB provides the key-based flashback feature that is applicable to scenarios in which you want to restore a small amount of disordered or lost data. The feature is used to archive the data based on a flashback key for quick restoration.

Double-zone deployment of instances that use cloud disks only in specific regions

New feature

ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances that use cloud disks can use the double-zone deployment mode only in the following regions:

  • SAU (Riyadh - Partner Region)

  • US (Silicon Valley)

  • US (Virginia)

2024-10-25

SRV HA endpoints supported by replica set instances

New feature

ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set instances support SRV high-availability (HA) endpoints.

SRV HA endpoints can simplify the maintenance and management of instances. You do not need to modify the endpoints when nodes are added or removed. Your client can interact with the instances without service interruptions, which simplifies the design and maintenance of your application.

2024-10-25

Configure cross-region backup for an instance

New feature

To ensure data security, ApsaraDB for MongoDB provides the cross-region backup and restoration feature to automatically back up data to a different region.

Migration of an instance that uses cloud disks to a different zone

New feature

ApsaraDB for MongoDB allows you to migrate an instance that uses cloud disks to a different zone. You can migrate an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance to a different zone in the region to which the current zone belongs. After an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance is migrated to a different zone, the attributes, specifications, and endpoints of the instance remain unchanged.

Tags added to the high-availability endpoints of an instance that uses cloud disks for read/write splitting

New feature

The readPreference and readPreferenceTags parameters are available for the connection string URIs of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB replica set instance and those of shard nodes in a sharded cluster instance. You can configure the parameters to implement read/write splitting and load balancing.

Restarting of nodes in an instance that uses cloud disks

New feature

Nodes in an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance that uses cloud disks can be restarted. If the number of connection to a database in the instance reaches the upper limit or a database in the instance experiences degraded performance, you can attempt to manually restart the nodes.

2024-06-20

ESSD AutoPL disks

New storage type

Enterprise SSD (ESSD) AutoPL disks are provided by ApsaraDB for MongoDB. ESSD AutoPL disks are compatible with all features of ESSDs and provide the same baseline performance as PL1 ESSDs. In addition, ESSD AutoPL disks provide burstable I/O performance based on ESSDs and decouple the I/O performance from the storage capacity. Therefore, ESSD AutoPL disks are more cost-effective and are ideal for businesses that experience surges in I/O operations.

Restoration of databases in a sharded cluster instance that uses cloud disks

New feature

You can restore one or more databases in an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance that uses cloud disks to the original instance.

If you accidentally delete a single collection or document, you can perform the operation to restore the collection or document.

2024-05-15

Configuration changes of multiple mongos, shard, and ConfigServer nodes in batch

New feature

A configuration change task can be started for mongos, shard, and ConfigServer nodes in an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance. The task involves the following operations:

  • Change the specifications and storage capacity of one or more shard nodes.

  • Change the specifications of one or more mongos nodes.

  • Change the specifications and storage capacity of ConfigServer nodes.

2024-05-15

Configuration changes of a ConfigServer component

New feature

The specifications and storage capacity of the ConfigServer component in an ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instance that uses cloud disks can be changed.

2024-05-15

Updates to the maximum number of connections

Feature optimization

ApsaraDB for MongoDB adjusted the maximum number of connections to instances of some specifications on May 14, 2024. By default, the new maximum number of connections applies to ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances that are purchased after the adjustment. For existing ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances, the new maximum number of connections takes effect after the instances are restarted. The adjustment does not affect other services of ApsaraDB for MongoDB.

2024-05-15

SSL encryption supported by sharded cluster instances

New feature

The SSL encryption feature is supported by ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instances that use ESSDs. The SSL encryption feature can encrypt connections at the transport layer to increase data security and ensure data integrity.

2024-05-15

Long-term retention for the backup files of an instance

New feature

A backup retention policy can be configured for an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance that uses ESSDs after the instance is released. You can specify that all backup sets are deleted or retained after an instance is released, or that the last backup set is retained after the instance is released.

2024-05-15

Switching of the VPC and vSwitch of an instance

New feature

The virtual private cloud (VPC) and vSwitch of an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance that uses ESSDs can be switched.

New feature

SRV HA endpoints are supported by ApsaraDB for MongoDB sharded cluster instances that use cloud disks. SRV HA endpoints can simplify the maintenance and management of sharded cluster instances. You do not need to modify the endpoints when mongos nodes are added or removed. Your client can interact with the instances without service interruptions, which simplifies the design and maintenance of your application.

IP whitelist templates

New feature

IP whitelist templates are supported. If you want to configure an IP address whitelist for multiple ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances, you can create an IP whitelist template and associate the template with multiple MongoDB instances. If you want to modify an IP address whitelist of an instance, you need only to modify the template. This way, the new settings automatically take effect on the instances associated with the template. This simplifies the operations performed to configure the whitelist.

2024-02-27

Audit log

Feature optimization

ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances do not need to be restarted when the audit log feature is enabled or disabled and operation types for audit logs are modified.
