Get all checkpoints for a sharded cluster.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/backupCheckpoints
Path Element
Required/Optional
Description
{GROUP-ID}
Required.
The unique identifier of the project that owns the checkpoints.
{CLUSTER-NAME}
Required
The name of the cluster that contains the checkpoints that you want to retrieve.

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. These are all optional.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pageNum
integer
Optional
Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the total number of objects.
1
itemsPerPage
integer
Optional
Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum of 500.
100
includeCount
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount parameter in the response body.
true
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON response in the prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps 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.

Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body.

false

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

The response JSON document includes an array of result objects, an array of link objects and a count of the total number of result objects retrieved.

Name
Type
Description
results
array of objects
One object for each item detailed in the results Embedded Document section.
links
array of objects

One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification

totalCount
integer
Count of the total number of items in the result set. It may be greater than the number of objects in the results array if the entire result set is paginated.

Each result is one cluster checkpoint.

Name
Type
Description
clusterId
string
ID of the cluster containing the checkpoint.
completed
BSON timestamp
The point in time the checkpoint completed and the balancer restarted.
groupId
string
The unique identifier of the project that owns the checkpoint.
id
string
The checkpoint ID.
links
array of objects
This array includes one or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
parts
array of objects
The individual parts that comprise the complete checkpoint. There will be one element for each shard plus one element for the config servers.
parts[i].replicaSetName
string
Name of the replica set. Not present for config servers.
parts[i].shardName
string
The name of the shard.
parts[i].tokenDiscovered
Boolean
Indicates whether the token exists.
parts[i].tokenTimestamp
document

The timestamp of the checkpoint token entry in the oplog, as specified by the entry’s ts field. The ts field is a BSON timestamp and has two components:

  • timestamp: the value in seconds since the Unix epoch
  • increment: an incrementing ordinal for operations within a given second
parts[i].typeName
string

The type of server represented by the part. Possible values are:

  • REPLICA_SET, which indicates the part is a shard.
  • CONFIG_SERVER
restorable
Boolean
Indicates whether the checkpoint can be used for a restore.
started
BSON timestamp
The point in time Atlas stopped the balancer and began the checkpoint.
timestamp
BSON timestamp
The point in time the checkpoint restores to.
