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.

Add an entry to the list of custom zone mappings for the specified Global Cluster.

POST /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/globalWrites/customZoneMapping
Path Element
Required/Optional
Description
GROUP-ID
Required.
The unique identifier for the project that contains the Global Cluster.
CLUSTER-NAME
Required.
The name of the Global Cluster.

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these 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 indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These 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:

status
HTTP response code
envelope
Expected response body
false

The request body for this endpoint requires a document with at least one custom zone mapping, as shown in the following example:

{ "customZoneMappings": [ { "location": <code>, "zone": <zone>}, ... ] }
Name
Type
Description
customZoneMappings
document array
Each document in the array maps one ISO location code to a zone in your Global Cluster.
customZoneMappings[n].location
string
Required The ISO location code to which you want to map a zone in your Global Cluster. You can find a list of all supported location codes here.
customZoneMappings[n].zone
string
Required The name of the zone in your Global Cluster that you want to map to location.
Name
Type
Description
customZoneMapping
document
A comma-separated list of all custom zone mappings defined for the Global Cluster. By default, Atlas maps each location code to the closest geographical zone. Custom zone mappings allow administrators to override these automatic mappings.
managedNamespaces
array of documents
Each document specifies a namespace for a Global Cluster managed by Atlas. For more information, see Global Clusters.
managedNamespaces[n].collection
string
The name of the collection associated with the managed namespace.
managedNamespaces[n].customShardKey
string
The custom shard key for the collection. Global Clusters require a compound shard key consisting of a location field and a user-selected second key, the custom shard key.
managedNamespaces[n].db
string
The name of the database containing the collection.
