Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/public/v1.0

Resource¶

POST /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/hosts/{HOST-ID}/restoreJobs

Request Path Parameters¶

Name	Type	Description
PROJECT-ID	string	Unique identifier of the project that owns the job.
HOST-ID	string	Unique identifier of the mirrored config server (SCCC) that the job represents.

Request Query Parameters¶

The following query parameters are optional:

Name Type Necessity Description Default

pretty boolean Optional Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format. false

envelope

boolean

Optional

Flag that indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

Name	Description
status	HTTP response code
envelope	Expected response body

false

Request Body Parameters¶

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
`checkpointId`	string	Conditional	Unique identifier for the sharded cluster checkpoint that represents the point in time to which your data will be restored. Conditions Set `"delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"`. Run Sharded Clusters using `FCV` of 4.0 or earlier. Can’t set `oplogInc`, `oplogTs`, or `pointInTimeUTCMillis`. If you provide this setting, this endpoint restores all data up to this checkpoint to the database you specified in the `delivery` object.
`delivery`	object	Required	Method and details of how the restored snapshot data is delivered.
`delivery` `.expires`	string	Conditional	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC after which the URL is no longer available. `delivery.methodName" : "HTTP"`
`delivery` `.expirationHours`	number	Conditional	Number of hours the download URL is valid once the restore job is complete. `delivery.methodName" : "HTTP"`
`delivery` `.maxDownloads`	number	Conditional	Number of times the download URL can be used. This must be `1` or greater. `delivery.methodName" : "HTTP"`
`delivery` `.methodName`	string	Required	Means by which Cloud Manager delivers the data. Accepted values are: `AUTOMATED_RESTORE` `HTTP` Note If you set `"delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"`, you must also set: `delivery.targetGroupId` and `delivery.targetClusterId` In addition, the response shows the `delivery.methodName` as `HTTP`. An automated restore uses the `HTTP` method to deliver the restore job to the target host. Important Restore delivery via SCP has been removed as of March 27, 2018.
`delivery` `.targetClusterId`	string	Conditional	Unique identifier of the target cluster. Use the `clusterId` returned in the response body of the Get All Snapshots and Get a Snapshot endpoints. `delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"`. Note If backup is not enabled on the target cluster, the Get All Snapshots endpoint returns an empty `results` array without `clusterId` elements, and the Get a Snapshot endpoint also does not return a `clusterId` element.
`delivery` `.targetGroupId`	string	Conditional	Unique identifier of the project that contains the destination cluster for the restore job. `delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"`
`oplogTs`	string	Conditional	Oplog timestamp given as a Timestamp in the number of seconds that have elapsed since the UNIX epoch. When paired with `oplogInc`, they represent the point in time to which your data will be restored. Run a query against `local.oplog.rs` on your replica set to find the desired timestamp. `"delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"` for Replica Sets Only. Note If you set `oplogTs`, you: Must set `oplogInc`. Cannot set `checkpointId` or `pointInTimeUTCMillis`. If you provide this setting, this endpoint restores all data up to and including this Oplog timestamp to the database you specified in the `delivery` object.
`oplogInc`	string	Conditional	32-bit incrementing ordinal that represents operations within a given second. When paired with `oplogTs`, they represent the point in time to which your data will be restored. `"delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"` for Replica Sets Only. Note If you set `oplogInc`, you: Must set `oplogTs`. Cannot set `checkpointId` or `pointInTimeUTCMillis`. If you provide this setting, this endpoint restores all data up to and including this Oplog timestamp to the database you specified in the `delivery` object.
`pointInTimeUTCMillis`	long	Conditional	timestamp in the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the UNIX epoch’, that represents the point in time to which your data will be restored. This timestamp must be within last 24 hours of the current time. If you provide this setting, this endpoint restores all data up to this Point in Time to the database you specified in the `delivery` object. `"delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"` for Replica Sets Only. Note If you set `pointInTimeUTCMillis`, you cannot set `oplogInc`, `oplogTs`, or `checkpointId`.
`snapshotId`	string	Conditional	Unique identifier of the snapshot to restore.

Response¶

Name	Type	Description
batchId	string	Conditional: sharded cluster only. Unique identifier of the batch to which this restore job belongs.
clusterId	string	Conditional: cluster only. Unique identifier of the cluster that the restore job represents.
created	string	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC when the restore job was requested.
delivery	object	Method and details of how the restored snapshot data is delivered.
delivery.expirationHours	number	Conditional: `"delivery.methodName" : "HTTP"`. Number of hours the download URL is valid once the restore job is complete.
delivery.expires	string	Conditional: `"delivery.methodName" : "HTTP"`. Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC after which the URL is no longer available.
delivery.maxDownloads	number	Conditional: `"delivery.methodName" : "HTTP"`. Number of times the download URL can be used. This must be `1` or greater.
delivery.methodName	string	Means by which the data is delivered. Accepted value is `HTTP` Important Restore delivery via SCP has been removed as of March 27, 2018.
delivery.statusName	string	Current status of the downloadable file. Accepted values are: `NOT_STARTED` `IN_PROGRESS` `READY` `FAILED` `INTERRUPTED` `EXPIRED` `MAX_DOWNLOADS_EXCEEDED`
delivery.targetClusterId	string	Conditional: `delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"`. Unique identifier of the destination cluster to perform the restore job.
delivery.targetGroupId	string	Conditional: `delivery.methodName" : "AUTOMATED_RESTORE"`. Unique identifier of the project that contains the destination cluster for the restore job.
delivery.url	string	Conditional: `"delivery.methodName" : "HTTP"`. URL from which the restored snapshot data can be downloaded.
groupId	string	Unique identifier of the group that owns the restore job.
hashes	object array	If the corresponding `delivery.url` has been downloaded, each document in this array is a mapping of a restore file to a hashed checksum. This array is present only after the file is downloaded. Note For an `HTTP` restore, this array only contains a single object that represents the hash of the `.tar.gz` file.
hashes.fileName	string	Name of the snapshot file that has been hashed.
hashes.hash	string	Hash of the snapshot file.
hashes.typeName	string	Hashing algorithm used to compute the hash value. If present, this value is `SHA1`.
hostId	string	Conditional: mirrored config server (SCCC). Unique identifier of the config server to which this restore job belongs.
id	string	Unique identifier of the restore job.
links	object array	One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. All `links` arrays in responses include at least one link called `self`. The relationships between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
snapshotId	string	Unique identifier of the snapshot to restore.
statusName	string	Current status of the job. Accepted values are: `FINISHED` `IN_PROGRESS` `BROKEN` `KILLED`
timestamp	object	Timestamp of the Oplog entry when the snapshot was created.
timestamp.date	string	Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC of the latest oplog entry in the restored snapshot.
timestamp.increment	string	Order of all operations completed at the latest oplog entry in the restored snapshot.
