Manage Project Settings

Sets your project's name.

You must have the Project Owner role for the project or the Organization Owner role for the project's organization to edit the project name.

Sets your project's time zone. This affects the maintenance window timezone and alerts, but not the timezone set for individual user accounts. [1]

There is also a User Preferences timezone, which only affects the activity feed.

Allows you to label and organize your projects with key-value pairs. To learn more, see Tags on Projects.

Allows you to enable or disable connections between MongoDB Atlas dedicated clusters and public IP addresses outside of the peered VPC/VNet. You can only enable or disable this setting when there are no active dedicated GCP or Azure clusters in your project.

IMPORTANT: This feature has been deprecated. Existing clusters can continue to use this feature. Use both Standard and Private IP for Peering connection strings to connect to your project. These connection strings allow you to connect using both VPC/VNet Peering and allowed public IP addresses. To learn more about support for multiple connection strings, see this FAQ.

Allows you to expose a second connection string for your dedicated Atlas clusters on AWS that resolves to private IPs.

Enable this setting if you use custom DNS that cannot take advantage of AWS built-in split-horizon DNS across a VPC peering connection.

service| displays this setting only when you enable network peering on AWS.

Allows you to create more than one Private Endpoint in more than one region for multi-region and global sharded clusters.

Enable this setting if you want to connect to multi-region or global sharded clusters using private endpoints.

WARNING: Your connection strings to existing multi-region and global sharded clusters change when you enable this setting.

You must update your applications to use the new connection strings. This might cause downtime.

You can enable this setting only if your Atlas project contains no non-sharded replica sets.

You can't disable this setting if you have:

• More than one private endpoint in more than one region, or

• More than one private endpoint in one region and one private endpoint in one or more regions.

You can create only sharded clusters when you enable the regionalized private endpoint setting. You can't create replica sets.

Allows you to enable or disable the collection of database statistics in cluster metrics.

Set which hour of the day that Atlas should start weekly maintenance on your cluster.

To learn more about cluster maintenance windows, see Configure Maintenance Window.

Sets the project landing page to Overview. Overview is a home page for Atlas that displays modules for common Atlas actions.

Atlas enables the Overview page by default. To enable or disable the Overview page, you must have the Project Owner role.

Allows you to see real time metrics from your MongoDB database.

Allows you to query your database with an easy-to-use interface.

IMPORTANT: When Data Explorer is disabled, you cannot:

• Terminate slow operations from the Real-Time Performance Panel.

• Create indexes from the Performance Advisor. You can still view Performance Advisor recommendations, but you must create those indexes from mongosh.

Allows you to analyze database logs and receive performance improvement recommendations.

Allows you to receive customized recommendations to optimize your data model and enhance performance.

Disable this setting to disable schema suggestions in the Performance Advisor and the Atlas UI.

You can't access the Schema Advisor for Serverless instances.

Dynamically sets the Slow Query Threshold based on execution times of operations across your cluster.

Disable this feature to set a fixed, user-specified slow query threshold.

Allows you to configure M40+ clusters with greater maximum storage than the standard limit. Only clusters which meet the following criteria support extended storage:

• The cluster is on Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud

• If the cluster is on Azure, it is configured in one of the following regions that support extended storage

• The cluster is either General or Low-CPU class

• The cluster is single-region.

Extended storage is a temporary solution for clusters that might require additional storage capacity in the future. We recommend that you enable sharding for long-term expanded storage capacity.

IMPORTANT: Deleting a MongoDB Charts instance deletes all data associated with that instance including dashboards, data sources, and metadata. Once the MongoDB Charts instance is deleted, this data cannot be recovered.

Allows Project Owners to delete the MongoDB Charts instance associated with your project. This setting is only visible if you have created a Charts instance for your project.

If you delete your linked MongoDB Charts instance, you can create a new MongoDB Charts instance for your project at any time. The newly created instance does not retain any data from previously deleted instances.

The DELETE button allows you to delete a project.

You can delete a project only if there are no Online Archives for the clusters in the project.
