What it is

MongoDB Ops Manager is self-hosted software for organizations running MongoDB on their own infrastructure. It covers deployment, administration, monitoring, backup, recovery, and scaling through a graphical interface and REST API. Automation handles work from cluster creation through maintenance. Monitoring visualizes and alerts on more than 100 performance metrics. Backup options include cluster-wide snapshots, continuous incremental backups, and point-in-time recovery. Performance Advisor finds slow queries and proposes index or schema changes. Administrators can add or remove nodes, rebalance data as topology changes, and perform rolling upgrades and index builds. Enterprise Advanced supports on-premises, private-cloud, and hybrid-cloud deployments, with security integrations and 24/7/365 expert support under a response SLA. MongoDB offers a free download for evaluation, while Ops Manager is provided through an Enterprise Advanced subscription. Listed platforms include Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, and Amazon Linux.
