atlas api clusters testFailover
On this page
Public Preview: please provide feedback at: Starts a failover test for the specified cluster in the specified project.
Clusters contain a group of hosts that maintain the same data set. A failover test checks how MongoDB Cloud handles the failure of the cluster's primary node. During the test, MongoDB Cloud shuts down the primary node and elects a new primary. To use this resource, the requesting Service Account or API Key must have the Project Cluster Manager role.
This command is autogenerated and corresponds 1:1 with the Atlas API endpoint https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/api-resources-spec/v2/#tag/Clusters/operation/testFailover.
For more information and examples, see the referenced API documentation linked above.
Syntax
atlas api clusters testFailover [options]
Options
Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
--clusterName | string | true | Human-readable label that identifies the cluster. |
--envelope | envelope | false | Flag that indicates whether Application wraps the response in an envelope JSON object. Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query. Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Application adds the status parameter to the response body. |
--groupId | string | true | Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies your project. Use the [/groups](#tag/Projects/operation/listProjects) endpoint to retrieve all projects to which the authenticated user has access. 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. |
-h, --help | false | help for testFailover | |
--output | string | false | preferred api format, can be ["json", go-template] This value defaults to "json". |
--output-file | string | false | file to write the api output to. This flag is required when the output of an endpoint is binary (ex: gzip) and the command is not piped (ex: atlas command > out.zip) |
--pretty | false | Flag that indicates whether the response body should be in the prettyprint format. | |
--version | string | false | api version to use when calling the api call [options: "2023-01-01", "2023-02-01"], defaults to the latest version or the profiles api_version config value if set This value defaults to "2023-02-01". |
Inherited Options
Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
-P, --profile | string | false | Name of the profile to use from your configuration file. To learn about profiles for the Atlas CLI, see https://dochub.mongodb.org/core/atlas-cli-save-connection-settings. |
