Add Custom Zone Mappings¶

Example
- Request
- Response

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 uses HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide your Atlas username and API key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request.

For complete documentation on configuring API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas API Access.

Base URL: https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

Add an entry to the list of custom zone mappings for the specified Global Cluster.

Syntax¶

copy

POST /groups/{GROUP-ID}/clusters/{CLUSTER-NAME}/globalWrites/customZoneMapping

Request Path Parameters¶

Path Element	Required/Optional	Description
`GROUP-ID`	Required.	The unique identifier for the project that contains the Global Cluster.
`CLUSTER-NAME`	Required.	The name of the Global Cluster.

Request Query Parameters¶

This endpoint may use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas API resources. These are all optional.

Name	Type	Description	Default
`pretty`	boolean	Displays response in a prettyprint format.	`false`
`envelope`	boolean	Specifies whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.	`false`

Request Body Parameters¶

The request body for this endpoint requires a document with at least one custom zone mapping, as shown in the following example:

copy

{ "customZoneMappings": [ { "location": <code>, "zone": <zone>}, ... ] }

Name	Type	Description
`customZoneMappings`	document array	Each document in the array maps one ISO location code to a zone in your Global Cluster.
`customZoneMappings[n].location`	string	Required The ISO location code to which you want to map a zone in your Global Cluster. You can find a list of all supported location codes here.
`customZoneMappings[n].zone`	string	Required The name of the zone in your Global Cluster that you want to map to `location`.

HTTP Response Elements¶

Name	Type	Description
`customZoneMapping`	document	A comma-separated list of all custom zone mappings defined for the Global Cluster. By default, Atlas maps each location code to the closest geographical zone. Custom zone mappings allow administrators to override these automatic mappings.
`managedNamespaces`	array of documents	Each document specifies a namespace for a Global Cluster managed by Atlas. For more information, see Global Clusters.
`managedNamespaces[n].collection`	string	The name of the collection associated with the managed namespace.
`managedNamespaces[n].customShardKey`	string	The custom shard key for the collection. Global Clusters require a compound shard key consisting of a `location` field and a user-selected second key, the custom shard key.
`managedNamespaces[n].db`	string	The name of the database containing the collection.

Example¶

Request¶

 --data '{
   "customZoneMappings" : [{
      "location":"CA",
      "zone": "Zone 1"
      }]
   }'

Response¶

copy

{
   "customZoneMapping" : {

   "managedNamespaces" : [ {
      "collection" : "publishers",
      "customShardKey" : "city",
