Frequently Asked Questions

What is Atlas Online Archive?

With MongoDB Atlas Online Archive you can automatically tier your data across fully managed databases and cloud object storage while preserving the ability to query all your data through a single endpoint. Create a rule to automatically archive infrequently accessed data from your MongoDB Atlas database to optimize cost and performance.

How do I use Atlas Online Archive?

Atlas Online Archive is available exclusively with MongoDB Atlas. It is available on any M10 or greater cluster running on MongoDB 3.6 or later.

Create an Online Archive in the MongoDB Atlas UI by choosing a database and writing an archiving rule. Any data that matches the criteria of your rule will automatically move to the archive, and will remain fully online and queryable alongside your live cluster data.

How does archiving work in Atlas Online Archive?

Data gets automatically archived based on the criteria you specify in an archiving rule. The criteria can be one of the following:

  • A combination of a date and number of days. Atlas archives data when the current date exceeds the date plus the number of days specified in the archiving rule.
  • A custom filter. Atlas runs the query specified in the archiving rule to select the documents to archive.

How can I query my data in Atlas Online Archive?

MongoDB Atlas provides a unified endpoint through which you can query both your live cluster and archived data using the same database and collection name you use in your Atlas cluster. Atlas also provides an endpoint through which you can isolate queries to your archive without impacting your live cluster.
