Add a Managed Namespace¶

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.

Add a managed namespace to a Global Cluster. For more information about managed namespaces, see Global Clusters.

Syntax¶

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

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 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¶

Name	Type	Description
`collection`	string	The name of the collection associated with the managed namespace.
`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.
`db`	string	The name of the database containing the collection.

HTTP Response Elements¶

Name	Type	Description
`customZoneMapping`	document	A comma-separated list of all custom zone mappings defined for the Global Cluster. Atlas automatically maps each location code to the closest geographical zone. Custom zone mappings allow administrators to override these automatic mappings. If your Global Cluster does not have any custom zone mappings, this document is empty.
`managedNamespaces`	array of documents	Each document specifies a namespace for a Global Cluster managed by Atlas.
`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.
