Get the specified checkpoint 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/{CHECKPOINT-ID}
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.
{CHECKPOINT-ID}
Required
The unique identifer for the checkpoint.

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

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

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.
