Prerequisites and best practice
Before proceeding, ensure that the following prerequisites are met.
In MongoDB Ops Manager, the central URL is a configuration setting that specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Ops Manager application. This URL is provided by MongoDB Ops Manager.
When configuring credentials
Public key: The public key acts as a username during the API requests.
Central URL: As mentioned above.
Private key: The private key functions as a password and should be kept secure, like any other sensitive credential.
Authentication type: When using SSL enabled authentication, ensure that the CA certificate is configured in Manage credentials.
Third-party APIs allows you to integrate with various external services to enhance monitoring, alerting, and overall management of your MongoDB deployments.
Note:
Contact MongoDB to enable API services.
The cluster to be protected must be the enterprise version.
The cluster to be protected must be either a replica set or a sharded cluster.
Atleast one node should be selected as a preferred node within a replica set/shard.
Automation, backup, and monitoring are enabled on MongoDB servers.
Granular recovery is not supported using third party APIs.
Following the recovery, MongoDB cluster is reverted to the state of the chosen backup images.
Ensure that the NetBackup clients are installed on all the nodes of the target cluster.
