MongoDB Atlas BC+ Integration

FAQs​

Expand FAQs

1. How does the MongoDB Atlas integration with nOps work?​

The integration connects directly to your MongoDB Atlas account using API credentials. nOps fetches billing data using your Organization ID and API keys, processes it, and displays the information within the Business Context+ platform for detailed cost analysis.

2. What permissions are required for the API keys?​

The API key must have Organization Billing Viewer permissions to access billing data.
Additionally, it must be added to each project you want to monitor with Project Read Only permissions.
This ensures the key can access both organization-level billing information and project-level metadata.

3. How do I find my MongoDB Atlas Organization ID?​

To find your Organization ID:

  1. Go to the MongoDB Atlas Organizations Page.
  2. Select the organization you want to integrate.
  3. Click on Settings in the left-hand menu.
  4. Your Organization ID will be displayed at the top of the Settings page.

4. How long does it take for data to appear in nOps after setup?​

It may take up to 24 hours for the initial data synchronization to complete.

5. What should I do if my billing data doesn't appear after 24 hours?​

If the data is not visible after 24 hours, check the following:

  • Verify that the Organization ID is correct
  • Confirm that the API keys have the required billing view permissions
  • Ensure the API keys have been invited to all relevant projects
  • Check that both public and private API keys were entered correctly
  • If using IP restrictions, verify that all required IPs are whitelisted

If the issue persists, contact nOps support for assistance.

6. Can I monitor multiple MongoDB Atlas projects?​

Yes, you can monitor multiple projects and even multiple organizations.
To do this, you must create API keys for each organization and ensure those keys are added to every project you want to monitor with Project Read Only permissions.
Each API key must also have Organization Billing Viewer permissions in its respective organization.

7. Do the integration work with IP API Access List?​

Yes - use this IP: 52.11.169.55 to allow API Access List

Integrate your MongoDB Atlas billing data with the nOps platform to gain detailed insights into your database expenses. By setting up this integration, you can analyze your MongoDB Atlas cost and usage information using the Cost Analysis tool in the nOps platform.

How It Works​

  1. API Key Creation

    • Create API keys in MongoDB Atlas with billing view permission
    • Configure IP Access List if required
