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.

This resource allows you to view Checkpoints metadata. You can use checkpoints to create custom snapshots of a cluster at points in time between regular snapshots.

Important

You may use checkpoints for clusters that run MongoDB with Feature Compatibility Version of 4.0 or earlier. Checkpoints were removed from MongoDB instances with FCV of 4.2 or later.

Endpoints¶

Get All Checkpoints¶

Get all checkpoints for a cluster.

copy

GET /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/clusters/CLUSTER-ID/checkpoints

Get One Checkpoint¶

Get a single checkpoint.

copy

GET /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/clusters/CLUSTER-ID/checkpoints/CHECKPOINT-ID

Entity Fields¶

Name	Type	Description
`clusterId`	string	Unique identifier of the cluster represented by the checkpoint.
`completed`	string	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC for the point-in-time when the checkpoint completed and the balancer restarted.
`groupId`	string	Unique identifier of the group that owns the checkpoint.
`id`	string	Unique identifier of the checkpoint.
`parts`	array of objects	Individual parts that comprise the complete checkpoint. There will be one element for each shard plus one element for the config servers.
`parts` `.replicaSetName`	string	Name of the replica set. Not present for a config server.
`parts` `.shardName`	string	Name of the shard.
`parts` `.tokenDiscovered`	Boolean	Flag that indicates whether the token exists.
`parts` `.tokenTimestamp`	object	Timestamp of an entry in the oplog, as specified by the entry’s `ts` field. The `ts` field is a BSON timestamp and has two components: the timestamp, which is the value in seconds since the Unix epoch, and the increment, which is an incrementing ordinal for operations within a given second.
`parts` `.typeName`	string	Type of server represented by the part. Possible values are: `REPLICA_SET`, which indicates the part is a shard. `CONFIG_SERVER`
`restorable`	Boolean	Flag that indicates whether the checkpoint can be used for a restore.
`started`	string	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC for the point-in-time when Cloud Manager stopped the balancer and began the checkpoint.
`timestamp`	string	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC for the point-in-time to which the checkpoint restores data.

Links¶

Relation	Description
`self`	Checkpoint
`http://mms.mongodb.com/cluster`	Cluster the checkpoint belongs to.
`http://mms.mongodb.com/group`	Project that owns the checkpoint.
