Return All Shards in One Cluster

GET /api/atlas/v2/groups/{groupId}/clusters/{clusterName}/shardMetrics

Returns the size and load of every shard in one sharded cluster. Each shard reports the data it stores, the CPU utilization of its nodes, the read and write operations it served, and any conditions that MongoDB Cloud observed relative to the rest of the cluster. To retrieve more details about a shard such as the latency, cache throughput and open alerts, request with an exact replica set name.

Role requirements
  • Project Read Only

Path parameters

  • groupId string Required

    Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the /groups endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access.

    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.

    Format should match the following pattern: ^([a-f0-9]{24})$.

  • clusterName string Required

    Human-readable label that identifies the cluster.

    Format should match the following pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]*$.

Query parameters

  • envelope boolean

    Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an envelope JSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body.

    Default value is false.

  • includeCount boolean

    Flag that indicates whether MongoDB Cloud calculates the total number of items for the response. When set to false, MongoDB Cloud may skip an additional count operation. The response may still include totalCount when the count is available without additional calculation.

    Default value is true.

  • itemsPerPage integer

    Number of items that the response returns per page.

    Minimum value is 1, maximum value is 500. Default value is 100.

  • pageNum integer

    Number of the page that displays the current set of the total objects that the response returns.

    Minimum value is 1. Default value is 1.

  • pretty boolean

    Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format.

    Default value is false.

    Prettyprint

        Minimum value is 0.

      • warnings array[string] Required

        Conditions that MongoDB Cloud observed on this shard relative to the rest of the cluster. HOTSPOT means this shard's average CPU utilization is more than twice the average across all shards of the cluster. This is a cluster-scoped comparison, so its value depends on how loaded the other shards are and not only on this shard.

        Not more than 100 elements. Value is HOTSPOT.
