Creates a new shard.

HTTP request

POST https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-mongodb/v1/clusters/{clusterId}/shards

Path parameters

Field

Description

clusterId

string

Required field. ID of the MongoDB cluster to add a shard to.
To get the cluster ID, use a ClusterService.List request.

Body parameters

{
  "shardName": "string",
  "hostSpecs": [
    {
      "zoneId": "string",
      "subnetId": "string",
      "assignPublicIp": "boolean",
      "type": "string",
      "shardName": "string",
      "hidden": "boolean",
      "secondaryDelaySecs": "string",
      "priority": "number",
      "tags": "object"
    }
  ]
}

Field

Description

shardName

string

Required field. Name of the MongoDB shard to create.

hostSpecs[]

HostSpec

Configurations for mongod hosts to be created with the shard.

HostSpec

Field

Description

zoneId

string

ID of the availability zone where the host resides.
To get a list of available zones, use the yandex.cloud.compute.v1.ZoneService.List request.

subnetId

string

ID of the subnet that the host should belong to. This subnet should be a part
of the network that the cluster belongs to.
The network ID is set in the Cluster.networkId field.

assignPublicIp

boolean

Whether the host should get a public IP address on creation.

After a host has been created, this setting cannot be changed. To remove an assigned public IP, or to assign
a public IP to a host without one, recreate the host with assignPublicIp set as needed.

Possible values:

  • false - don't assign a public IP to the host.
  • true - the host should have a public IP address.

type

enum (Type)

Type of the host to be deployed.

  • TYPE_UNSPECIFIED: Type of the host is unspecified. Default value.
  • MONGOD: A mongod host.
  • MONGOS: A mongos host.
  • MONGOCFG: A mongocfg host.
  • MONGOINFRA: A mongoinfra (mongos+mongocfg) host.

shardName

string

Name of the shard that the host belongs to.

hidden

boolean

Is host hidden in replSet

secondaryDelaySecs

string (int64)

The number of seconds "behind" the primary that this replica set member should "lag"

priority

number (double)

Priority of host for the election in replSet

tags

object (map<string, string>)

Host tags

Response

HTTP Code: 200 - OK
