Edit a Cluster

Note: All the available MongoDB clusters that are part of your contract are listed under the MongoDB Clusters section on the Databases page.

1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Databases > MongoDB.

2. In the MongoDB cluster overview window, select the cluster that needs modification using one of these options:

Click Edit in the OPTIONS column.

Alternatively, you can select a cluster from the list by clicking on its name or by selecting Details in the OPTIONS column.
- Select Edit in the Cluster details tab.

3. The Edit window displays the details of the cluster. You can edit the following:

Properties: Enter a new name in Cluster Name to edit the name of the MongoDB cluster.
Edition: You can upgrade the existing cluster edition from Playground to either Business or Enterprise.
Cluster configuration: The Database type is set to Replica set. Depending on the edition, you would see the allowed number of Instances to choose from. For example, if the existing cluster is updated to Business edition and a MongoDB Business S template is selected, then, you could choose to edit the number of instances to either one or three instances.
Network configuration: You can add additional private IP addresses from the IP/Subnet drop-down list when you increase the number of Instances to upgrade the existing Playground edition to an another MongoDB edition.
Maintenance period (optional): * Day: From the drop-down list, modify the preferred day on which the maintenance of the cluster must take place. * Start Time (UTC): Choose the appropriate time from the clock displayed.

Note:

Database snapshots are not available for clusters in the Playground edition. For more information, see Features.
Delete an existing cluster by using the delete option.

Properties: Enter a new name in Cluster Name to edit the name of the MongoDB cluster.
Edition: You can only view the existing cluster edition set as Enterprise.

Note: At this time, it is not possible to downgrade the Enterprise edition to any other edition.

Cluster configuration:
- The Database type can be Sharded cluster or Replica set based on the value selected during the cluster creation.
- Update the Amount of shards as required.
- Select from three, five, or seven Instances from the drop-down list to host a logical database manager environment to catalog your databases.

Note: At this time, downscaling of instances is not supported.

Select a value from the drop-down list to update the offsite Backup Location to allow backup data to be stored in a location other than the deployed database cluster. Available backup locations: Germany/Frankfurt am Main (de), Spaine/Logroño (eu-south-2), Germany/Berlin (eu-central-2), and Germany/Berlin (eu-central-3).
Toggle on or off the Enable BI Connector. It is advised to enable the MongoDB Connector for Business Intelligence (BI) to query a MongoDB database by using SQL commands to aid in the data analysis.
