Announcement

The Monitoring and Backup Agent have been merged into the Automation Agent, which will now be known as the MongoDB Agent. Learn more about this change.

Automation Agent 5.4.24.5565

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.17 on 2020-02-06

  • Redacts sensitive configuration data in MongoDB Agent log files to improve security.

Automation Agent 5.4.23.5559

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.16 on 2019-11-07

  • Adds support for the businessCategory field in extended validation TLS certificates.

  • The Automation Agent is now built using Go 1.13.

Automation Agent 5.4.22.5547

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.15 on 2019-09-05

  • Fixes a bug where the MongoDB Agent could panic and delete files from its current working directory.

Automation Agent 5.4.21.5544

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.14 on 2019-07-31

  • Fix: Restore downloads performed by Automation Agent now respect the configured sslTrustedMMSServerCertificate Ops Manager parameter.

Note

sslTrustedMMSServerCertificate has been deprecated. Use httpsCAFile instead.

Automation Agent 5.4.20.5541

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.13 on 2019-07-04

Automation Agent 5.4.15.5513

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.7 on 2019-01-10

  • Add support for the net.ssl.certificateSelector configuration option.

  • Fix: Allow the successful change in the storageEngine for standalone binary: mongod with TLS/SSL enabled.

Automation Agent 5.4.14.5509

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.6 on 2018-12-10

Automation Agent 5.4.13.5505

Automation Agent 5.4.11.5498

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.3 on 2018-10-04

Automation Agent 5.4.10.5496

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.2 on 2018-09-06

  • Storage affecting field changes in a replica set could result in data loss if processes were restarted unexpectedly.

  • Automation Agent was unable to properly determine state if the process ID previously used by a MongoDB process was reclaimed by a different process after an unexpected server reboot.

  • Fix: Allow CSRS members to be shut down.

Automation Agent 5.4.9.5483

Released with Ops Manager 4.0.1 on 2018-08-02

Released with Ops Manager 3.6.10 on 2019-01-10

  • Fix: Allow CSRS replica set members to be shut down.

  • When performing maintenance on a MongoDB 3.2 shard member for oplog resizing, start the node with --recoverShardingState false.

  • When the Automation Agent performs a resize on a MongoDB 3.2 sharded cluster, disable sharding recovery while the node is started up as a standalone.

Automation Agent 4.5.12.2514

Released with Ops Manager 3.6.4 on 2018-03-01

  • Changes made to any storage-affecting options in MongoDB will automatically result in a rolling initial sync of the replica set.

    For single node replica sets and standalones a mongodump / mongorestore will be performed. These options include security.enableEncryption, storage.smallfiles, storage.directoryPerDb and wiredTiger.directoryForIndexes. (The storage.engine parameter has always had this treatment.)

  • Fix: Automation Agent correctly resizes the oplog for MongoDB clusters that use X-509 for cluster authentication.

Note

RELEASE ADVISORY

Ops Manager 3.6.4 fixes an issue in which setting a value for a setParameter field using Automation may not have resulted in appropriate restart of the MongoDB cluster. As a consequence of this fix, clusters in which a setParameter field is specifically set to the default value for the setParameter may experience a rolling restart on upgrade to Ops Manager 3.6.4.

When configuring a setParameter field in the MongoDB configuration via Automation, always perform a rolling restart.
