You can retrieve an online archive using its ID. You can also view an online archive from the Atlas UI. You must have GROUP_READ_ONLY (Project Read Only) role to retrieve an online archive.

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/{ARCHIVE-ID}
Path Element
Necessity
Description
GROUP-ID
Required
Unique identifier of the project that contains the specified cluster.
CLUSTER-NAME
Required
Name of the cluster that contains the collection.
ARCHIVE-ID
Required
Unique identifier of the online archive to retrieve.

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
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" : "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" : "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" : "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" : "CUSTOM", JSON query used to select documents for archiving. The specified query is used with the db.collection.find(query) command.
dataExpirationRule
object
Rule that specifies when data should be deleted from the archive. The data expiration rule takes effect only after 24 hours.
dataExpirationRule.expireAfterDays
int
Number of days after which Atlas must delete archived data. Value can be between 7 and 9125 days (25 years). Atlas deletes archived data after the number of days you specify here.
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.

The following example request retrieves an online archive by its ID. The example response contains the online archive with the ID 5ebad3c1fe9c0ab8d37d61e1 for the people.employees collection in the cluster named myTestClstr.
