Create one new live migration.

Required Roles¶

Your API Key must have the Organization Owner role to successfully call this resource.

Request¶

Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

POST /groups/{groupId}/liveMigrations

Request Path Parameters¶

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
groupId	string	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the destination (Atlas) project to which the source (Cloud Manager or Ops Manager) cluster migrates.

Request Query Parameters¶

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

Request Body Parameters¶

Name	Type	Necessity	Description
source	object	Required	Document that describes the Cloud Manager or Ops Manager source of the migrating cluster.
source.clusterName	string	Required	Human-readable label that identifies the source Cloud Manager or Ops Manager cluster.
source.groupId	string	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the source project.
source.username	string	Optional	Human-readable label that identifies the SCRAM-SHA user that connects to the source Cloud Manager or Ops Manager cluster. Omit this value if "source.managedAuthentication" : true.
source.password	string	Optional	Password that authenticates the username to the source Cloud Manager or Ops Manager cluster. Omit this value if "source.managedAuthentication" : true.
source.ssl	boolean	Required	Flag that indicates whether you have TLS enabled.
source.caCertificatePath	string	Optional	Path to the CA certificate that signed TLS certificates use to authenticate to the source Cloud Manager or Ops Manager cluster. Omit this value if "source.ssl" : false.
source.managedAuthentication	boolean	Required	Flag that indicates whether MongoDB Automation manages authentication to the source Cloud Manager or Ops Manager cluster. If you set this to true, don't provide values for source.username and source.password.
destination	object	Required	Settings that describe the Atlas destination of the migrating Cloud Manager or Ops Manager cluster.
destination.groupId	string	Required	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the Atlas destination project.
destination.clusterName	string	Required	Human-readable label that identifies the Atlas destination cluster.
migrationHosts	array	Required	List of hosts running the MongoDB Agent that can transfer your MongoDB data from the source (Cloud Manager or Ops Manager) to destination (Atlas) deployments. Each live migration process uses its own dedicated migration host.
dropEnabled	boolean	Required	Flag that indicates whether this process should drop existing collections from the destination (Atlas) cluster given in destination.clusterName before starting the migration of data from the source cluster.

Response¶

Name	Type	Description
_id	string	Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the migration.
status	string	State of the migration when you submitted this request. Returns one of the following values: `"NEW"` `"WORKING"` `"FAILED"` `"COMPLETE"` `"EXPIRED"`
migrationHosts	array	List of hosts running the MongoDB Agent that can transfer your MongoDB data from the source (Cloud Manager or Ops Manager) to destination (Atlas) deployments. Each live migration process uses its own dedicated migration host.
