This page describes the conditions for which you can trigger alerts related to your database deployments. You specify conditions and thresholds when configuring alerts.

Note

M0 free clusters and M2/M5 shared clusters only trigger alerts related to the metrics supported by those clusters. See Atlas M0 (Free Cluster), M2, and M5 Limitations for complete documentation on M0/M2/M5 alert and metric limitations.

Host Alerts

The conditions in this section apply if you select Host as the alert target when configuring the alert. You can apply the condition to all hosts or to specific type of host, such as primaries or config servers.

Advisor

Host has index suggestions

Sends an alert if Performance Advisor has index suggestions for the host.

If the query targeting ratio for a host is high for a period of 10 minutes, Performance Advisor checks the host for inefficient queries and possible indexes to improve performance. If Performance Advisor determines that the host benefits from one or more indexes, this alert triggers and directs you to create the suggested indexes.

This alert is only available for M10+ clusters, and is enabled by default for M10+ clusters that have Performance Advisor enabled. This alert does not trigger for clusters where Performance Advisor is disabled.

This alert is generally triggered by one of the following conditions:

The cluster has experienced a failure and is being auto-healed.
The cluster could not be reached because of a network issue.

MongoDB Atlas checks that the downtime did not occur because of your actions, such as rolling index builds. If MongoDB Atlas confirms that the downtime was not intentional, MongoDB Atlas attempts to replace the affected node. If failures occur, Atlas clusters maintain node availability for both reads and writes as long as a majority of nodes are running. To learn more, see How does MongoDB Atlas deliver high availability?.
