You can retrieve all the online archives for a cluster using the API or the Atlas UI. You must have GROUP_READ_ONLY (Project Read Only) role to retrieve the online archives for a cluster.

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.

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.

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/onlineArchives
Path Element
Necessity
Description
GROUP-ID
Required
Unique identifier of the project that contains the specified cluster.
CLUSTER-NAME
Required
Name of the cluster.

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

The HTTP response returns a JSON document that includes the following elements:

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

The results array is an array of documents each containing the following fields:

Name
Type
Description
id
string
ID of the online archive.
clusterName
string
Name of the cluster that contains the collection.
collName
string
Name of the collection.
collectionType
string

Type of collection. Value can be one of the following:

  • STANDARD - for standard collection
  • TIMESERIES - for time series collection

    Important
    Preview

    Online Archive for timeseries collection is available as a Preview. The feature and corresponding documentation may change at any time in the Preview stage.

criteria
document
Criteria to use for archiving data.
criteria.type
string

Type of criteria. Value can be one of the following:

  • DATE - to select documents for archiving based on a date.
  • CUSTOM - to select documents for archiving based on a custom JSON query.
criteria.dateField
string
If criteria.type is DATE, name of the date field that the online archive is based on. Data is archived when the current date is after the date specified here plus the number of days specified via the expireAfterDays parameter.
criteria.dateFormat
enum

If criteria.type is DATE, the date format. Value can be one of the following:

  • ISODATE - ISO-8601 format date (default)
  • EPOCH_SECONDS - Unix timestamp in seconds
  • EPOCH_MILLIS - Unix timestamp in milliseconds
  • EPOCH_NANOSECONDS - Unix timestamp in nanoseconds
criteria.expireAfterDays
int
If criteria.type is DATE, number of days that specifies the age limit for the data in the live Atlas cluster. Data is archived when the current date is greater than the value of the date field specified via the dateField parameter plus the number of days specified here.
criteria.query
int
If criteria.type is CUSTOM, JSON query used to select documents for archiving. The specified query is used with the db.collection.find(query) command.
dbName
string
Name of the database that contains the collection.
groupId
string
Unique identifier of the project that contains the cluster.
partitionFields
document array
Fields to use to partition data.
partitionFields.fieldName
string
Name of the field.
partitionFields.fieldType
string
Data type of the field.
partitionFields.order
int

Position of the field in the partition. Value can be:

  • 0 - for the first position
  • 1 - for the second position
  • 2 - for the third position
paused
boolean

State of the online archive. Value is:

  • true if the online archive is in paused state.
  • false if the online archive is in pending or active state.
state
string

Status of the online archive. Valid values are:

Pending
Indicates documents are queued for archive, but archiving has not yet started.
Archiving
Indicates archiving has started. In this state, the documents that meet the criteria for archiving are being archived.
Idle
Indicates online archive is waiting for the next archival job to start.
Pausing
Indicates that you have requested to pause archiving. In this state, Atlas is finishing the running archiving operation and therefore, Atlas has not yet put archiving on hold. The online archive transitions to the Paused state when the running archiving operation finishes.
Paused
Indicates archiving has been temporarily stopped. In this state, previously archived documents continue to be available on the cloud object storage for querying, but the specified archiving operation on the active cluster is put on hold and additional documents are not archived. You can resume archiving for paused archives at any time.
Orphaned
Indicates collection associated with an active or paused online archive was deleted. Atlas will not automatically delete the archived data. You must manually delete the online archives associated with the deleted collection.
Deleted
Indicates online archive was deleted. When you delete an online archive, associated archived documents are removed from the cloud object storage.

This value is the count of the total number of items in the result set. totalCount may be greater than the number of objects in the results array if the entire result set is paginated.

The following example request retrieves all the online archives for the cluster. The example response contains two online archives for the people.employees and accounting.invoices collections in the cluster named myTestClstr.
