Get One Checkpoint¶

Get the specified checkpoint for a sharded cluster.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

The Atlas API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request.

To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas API Access.

Resource¶

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/backupCheckpoints/{CHECKPOINT-ID}

Request Parameters¶

Request Path Parameters¶

Path Element	Required/Optional	Description
`{GROUP-ID}`	Required.	The unique identifier of the project that owns the checkpoints.
`{CLUSTER-NAME}`	Required	The name of the cluster that contains the checkpoints that you want to retrieve.
`{CHECKPOINT-ID}`	Required	The unique identifer for the checkpoint.

Request Query Parameters¶

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas API resources. All of these are optional.

Name

Type

Necessity

Description

Default

pretty

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.

false

envelope

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:


status	HTTP response code
envelope	Expected response body

false

Request Body Parameters¶

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

Response¶

Name	Type	Description
`clusterId`	string	ID of the cluster containing the checkpoint.
`completed`	BSON timestamp	The point in time the checkpoint completed and the balancer restarted.
`groupId`	string	The unique identifier of the project that owns the checkpoint.
`id`	string	The checkpoint ID.
`links`	array of objects	This array includes one or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification.
`parts`	array of objects	The individual parts that comprise the complete checkpoint. There will be one element for each shard plus one element for the config servers.
`parts[i].replicaSetName`	string	Name of the replica set. Not present for config servers.
`parts[i].shardName`	string	The name of the shard.
`parts[i].tokenDiscovered`	Boolean	Indicates whether the token exists.
`parts[i].tokenTimestamp`	document	The timestamp of the checkpoint token entry in the oplog, as specified by the entry’s `ts` field. The `ts` field is a BSON timestamp and has two components: timestamp: the value in seconds since the Unix epoch increment: an incrementing ordinal for operations within a given second
`parts[i].typeName`	string	The type of server represented by the part. Possible values are: `REPLICA_SET`, which indicates the part is a shard. `CONFIG_SERVER`
`restorable`	Boolean	Indicates whether the checkpoint can be used for a restore.
`started`	BSON timestamp	The point in time Atlas stopped the balancer and began the checkpoint.
`timestamp`	BSON timestamp	The point in time the checkpoint restores to.
