Updating Yandex StoreDoc cluster settings

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at November 26, 2025
  • Changing the host class
  • Change the disk type and increase the storage size
  • Changing Yandex StoreDoc settings
  • Changing additional cluster settings
  • Moving a cluster
  • Changing security groups

After creating a cluster, you can:

  • Change the host class.
  • Change the disk type and increase the storage size.
  • Configure Yandex StoreDoc servers as described in the MongoDB documentation.
  • Change additional cluster settings.
  • Move the cluster to another folder.
  • Edit security groups.

To move a cluster to a different availability zone, follow this guide. You will thus move the cluster hosts.

Changing the host classChanging the host class

Note

Some Yandex StoreDoc settings depend on the selected host class.

When changing the host class:

  • Your single-host cluster will be unavailable for a few minutes with database connections terminated.
  • A multi-host cluster will get a new primary replica. Its hosts will be stopped and updated one by one. Once stopped, a host will be unavailable for a few minutes.

We recommend changing the host class only when your cluster has no active workload.

Management console
CLI
Terraform
REST API
gRPC API
  1. Navigate to the folder dashboard and select Yandex StoreDoc.

  2. Select the cluster and click Edit in the top panel.

  3. Under Host class, select:

    • One of the available platforms.
    • Configuration type: memory-optimized, cpu-optimized, standard, or burstable.
    • Host class: Defines the technical specifications of the VMs where the DB hosts will be deployed. When you change the host class for the cluster, the characteristics of all existing hosts change, too.
  4. Click Save changes.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To change the host class for a cluster:

  1. View the description of the CLI command for updating a cluster:

    yc managed-mongodb cluster update --help
    
  2. Get the list of available host classes (the ZONE IDS column specifies the availability zones where you can select the appropriate class):

    yc managed-mongodb resource-preset list
    
    +-----------+--------------------------------+-------+----------+
    |    ID     |            ZONE IDS            | CORES |  MEMORY  |
    +-----------+--------------------------------+-------+----------+
    | s1.micro  | ru-central1-a, ru-central1-b,  |     2 | 8.0 GB   |
    |           | ru-central1-d                  |       |          |
    | ...                                                           |
    +-----------+--------------------------------+-------+----------+
    
  3. Specify the class in the update cluster command. When changing the class, keep in mind the host role: it depends on the sharding type. You can use parameters for hosts with different roles in a single command.

    • For MONGOD hosts:

      yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --mongod-resource-preset <class_ID>
      
    • For MONGOINFRA hosts:

      yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --mongoinfra-resource-preset <class_ID>
      
    • For MONGOS hosts:

      yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --mongos-resource-preset <class_ID>
      
    • For MONGOCFG hosts:

      yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --mongocfg-resource-preset <class_ID>
      

    Yandex StoreDoc will run the update host class command for the cluster.

  1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing your infrastructure.

    For more information about creating this file, see this guide.

  2. In the Yandex StoreDoc cluster description, change the resource_preset_id parameter value for resources_mongod, resources_mongoinfra, resources_mongos, or resources_mongocfg. The resource type depends on the sharding type.

    Here is an example:

    resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
      ...
      resources_mongod {
          resource_preset_id = "<host_class>"
          ...
      }
    }
    
  3. Validate your configuration.

    1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

    2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

  4. Confirm updating the resources.

    1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

    2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

        terraform apply
        
      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

For more information, see this Terraform provider guide.

Timeouts

The Terraform provider sets the following timeouts for Yandex StoreDoc cluster operations:

  • Creating a cluster, including by restoring one from a backup: 30 minutes.
  • Editing a cluster: 60 minutes.

Operations exceeding the set timeout are interrupted.

How do I change these limits?

Add the timeouts block to the cluster description, for example:

resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
  ...
  timeouts {
    create = "1h30m" # An hour and a half
    update = "2h"    # Two hours
  }
}
  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and place it in an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Use the Cluster.Update method to execute the following request via cURL:

    Warning

    The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the updateMask parameter as a single comma-separated string.

    curl \
        --request PATCH \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
        --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-mongodb/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>' \
        --data '{
                  "updateMask": "configSpec.mongodb.<Yandex_StoreDoc_host_type>.resources.resourcePresetId",
                  "configSpec": {
                    "mongodb": {
                      "<Yandex_StoreDoc_host_type>": {
                        "resources": {
                          "resourcePresetId": "<host_class>"
                        }
                      }
                    }
                  }
                }'
    

    Where:

    • updateMask: Comma-separated list of settings you want to update.

      Here, we provide only one setting.

    • configSpec.mongodb.<Yandex_StoreDoc_host_type>.resources.resourcePresetId: New host class.

      Yandex StoreDoc host type depends on the sharding type. Possible values: mongod, mongocfg, mongos, and mongoinfra. For a non-sharded cluster, use mongod.

    You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  3. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and save it as an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Use the ClusterService.Update call to execute the following request, e.g., via gRPCurl:

    Warning

    The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the update_mask parameter as an array of paths[] strings.

    Format for listing settings
    "update_mask": {
        "paths": [
            "<setting_1>",
            "<setting_2>",
            ...
            "<setting_N>"
        ]
    }
    
    grpcurl \
        -format json \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
        -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/mongodb/v1/cluster_service.proto \
        -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        -d '{
              "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>",
              "update_mask": {
                "paths": [
                  "config_spec.mongodb.<Yandex_StoreDoc_host_type>.resources.resource_preset_id"
                ]
              },
              "config_spec": {
                "mongodb": {
                  "<Yandex_StoreDoc_host_type>": {
                    "resources": {
                      "resource_preset_id": "<host_class>"
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }' \
        mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
        yandex.cloud.mdb.mongodb.v1.ClusterService.Update
    

    Where:

    • update_mask: List of settings you want to update as an array of paths[] strings.

      Here, we provide only one setting.

    • config_spec.mongodb.<Yandex_StoreDoc_host_type>.resources.resource_preset_id: New host class.

      Yandex StoreDoc host type depends on the sharding type. Possible values: mongod, mongocfg, mongos, and mongoinfra. For a non-sharded cluster, use mongod.

    You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  4. View the server response to make sure your request was successful.

Change the disk type and increase the storage sizeChange the disk type and increase the storage size

Make sure the cloud has enough quota to increase the storage size. Open the cloud's Quotas page and check the HDD storage capacity and SSD storage capacity lines under Managed Databases to make sure there is available quota for storage space.

Management console
CLI
Terraform
REST API
gRPC API

To change the disk type and increase the storage size for a cluster:

  1. Navigate to the folder dashboard and select Yandex StoreDoc.

  2. Select the cluster and click Edit in the top panel.

  3. Under Storage size:

    • Select the disk type.
    • Specify the required disk size.
  4. Click Save changes.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To change the disk type and increase the storage size for a cluster:

  1. View the description of the CLI command for updating a cluster:

    yc managed-mongodb cluster update --help
    
  2. Specify the disk type and required storage size in the cluster update command (at least as large as disk_size in the cluster properties).

    When increasing the storage size, keep in mind the host role: it depends on the sharding type. You can use parameters for hosts with different roles in a single command.

    • For MONGOD hosts:

      yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --mongod-disk-type <disk_type> \
         --mongod-disk-size <storage_size_in_GB>
      
    • For MONGOINFRA hosts:

      yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --mongoinfra-disk-type <disk_type> \
         --mongoinfra-disk-size <storage_size_in_GB>
      
    • For MONGOS hosts:

      yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --mongos-disk-type <disk_type> \
         --mongos-disk-size <storage_size_in_GB>
      
    • For MONGOCFG hosts:

      yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
         --mongocfg-disk-type <disk_type> \
         --mongocfg-disk-size <storage_size_in_GB>
      

    If all the conditions are met, Yandex StoreDoc will start the storage reconfiguration operation.

To change the disk type and increase the storage size for a cluster:

  1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing your infrastructure.

    For more information about creating this file, see this guide.

  2. In the Yandex StoreDoc cluster description, change the values of the disk_type_id and disk_size parameters for the following resources: resources_mongod, resources_mongoinfra, resources_mongos, and resources_mongocfg. The resource type depends on the sharding type.

    Here is an example:

    resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
      ...
      resources_mongod {
        disk_type_id = "<disk_type>"
        disk_size    = <storage_size_in_GB>
        ...
      }
    }
    
  3. Validate your configuration.

    1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

    2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

  4. Confirm updating the resources.

    1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

    2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

        terraform apply
        
      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

                  }
                }'
    

    Where:

    • updateMask: Comma-separated list of settings you want to update.

    • configSpec.mongodb.<Yandex_StoreDoc_host_type>.resources: Storage parameters:

      • diskTypeId: Disk type.

  4. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

Changing Yandex StoreDoc settingsChanging Yandex StoreDoc settings

You can change the DBMS settings for the hosts in your cluster.

Note

Some Yandex StoreDoc settings depend on the selected host class.

Management console
CLI
REST API
gRPC API
  1. Navigate to the folder dashboard and select Yandex StoreDoc.
  2. Select the cluster and click Edit in the top panel.
  3. To change the Yandex StoreDoc settings, click Settings under DBMS settings.
  4. Click Save changes.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To update the Yandex StoreDoc settings for a cluster, run the command:

yc managed-mongodb cluster update-config

For example, to set net.maxIncomingConnections to 4096, run the following command:

yc managed-mongodb cluster update-config <cluster_name> \
   --set net.max_incoming_connections=4096

Yandex StoreDoc will run the update DBMS settings command for the cluster. If the setting being changed is only applied when the database is restarted, Yandex StoreDoc will restart the database instances on all cluster hosts, one by one.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and place it in an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Use the Cluster.Update method to execute the following request via cURL:

Changing additional cluster settingsChanging additional cluster settings

Management console
CLI
Terraform
REST API
gRPC API
  1. Navigate to the folder dashboard and select Yandex StoreDoc.

  2. Select the cluster and click Edit in the top panel.

  3. Change additional cluster settings:

    • Backup start time (UTC): Time interval during which the cluster backup starts. Time is specified in 24-hour UTC format. The default time is 22:00 - 23:00 UTC.

    • Retention period for automatic backups, days

      Retention period for automatic backups. Backups are automatically deleted once their retention period expires. The default is 7 days. This feature is at the Preview stage. For more information, see Backups.

      Changing the retention period affects both new and existing automatic backups. For example, if the initial retention period was 7 days, and the remaining lifetime of a separate automatic backup is 1 day, increasing the retention period to 9 days will change the remaining lifetime of this backup to 3 days.

      For an existing cluster, automatic backups are stored for a specified number of days whereas manually created ones are stored indefinitely. After a cluster is deleted, all backups persist for 7 days.

    • Maintenance window: Maintenance window settings:

      • To enable maintenance at any time, select arbitrary (default).
      • To specify the preferred maintenance start time, select by schedule and specify the desired day of the week and UTC hour. For example, you can choose a time when the cluster is least loaded.

      Maintenance operations are carried out both on enabled and disabled clusters. They may include updating the DBMS, applying patches, and so on.

    • WebSQL access: Enables you to run SQL queries against cluster databases from the Yandex Cloud management console using Yandex WebSQL.

    • Statistics sampling: Enable this option to use the built-in performance diagnostics tool in the cluster. This feature is at the Preview stage.

    • Deletion protection: Cluster protection from accidental deletion.

      Even with cluster deletion protection enabled, one can still delete a user or database or connect manually and delete the database contents.

  4. Click Save changes.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To change additional cluster settings:

  1. View the description of the CLI command for updating a cluster:

    yc managed-mongodb cluster update --help
    
  2. Run the following command with the list of settings to update:

    yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_ID_or_name> \
      --backup-retain-period-days=<retention_period> \
      --backup-window-start <backup_start_time> \
      --maintenance-window type=<maintenance_type>,`
                           `day=<day_of_week>,`
                           `hour=<hour> \
      --performance-diagnostics=<enable_diagnostics> \
      --deletion-protection
    

You can update the following settings:

  • --backup-retain-period: Automatic backup retention period, in days.

    The <retention_period> parameter value must be in the range from 7 to 35 (the default value is 7). This feature is at the Preview stage. For more information, see Backups.

    Changing the retention period affects both new automatic backups and existing backups.

    For example, if the original retention period was 7 days, and the remaining lifetime of a separate automatic backup is 1 day, then increasing the retention period to 9 days will change the remaining lifetime of this backup to 3 days.

  • --backup-window-start: The cluster backup start time, set in UTC format HH:MM:SS. If the time is not set, the backup will start at 22:00 UTC.
  • --maintenance-window: Maintenance window settings (including for disabled clusters), where type is the maintenance type:

    • anytime: At any time (default).
    • weekly: On a schedule. For this value, also specify the following:
      • day: Day of week, i.e., MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, or SUN.
      • hour: Hour of day (UTC), from 1 to 24.
  • --performance-diagnostics: Specify this parameter to use the Performance diagnostics tool in the cluster. This feature is at the Preview stage.

  • --deletion-protection: Cluster protection from accidental deletion, true or false.

    Even with cluster deletion protection enabled, one can still delete a user or database or connect manually and delete the database contents.

You can get the cluster ID and name with the list of clusters in the folder.

  1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing your infrastructure.

    For more information about creating this file, see this guide.

  2. To change the backup start time, add a backup_window_start section to the Yandex StoreDoc cluster description under cluster_config:

    resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
      ...
      cluster_config {
        backup_window_start {
          hours   = <hour>
          minutes = <minute>
        }
        ...
      }
      ...
    }
    

    Where hours and minutes are the backup start hour and minute.

  3. To set up the maintenance window (for disabled clusters as well), add the maintenance_window section to the cluster description:

    resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
      ...
      maintenance_window {
        type = <maintenance_type>
        day  = <day_of_week>
        hour = <hour>
      }
      ...
    }
    

    Where:

    • type: Maintenance type. The possible values include:
      • ANYTIME: Anytime
      • WEEKLY: On a schedule
    • day: Day of week for the WEEKLY type, i.e., MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT, or SUN.
    • hour: UTC hour for the WEEKLY type, from 1 to 24.
  4. To protect your cluster against accidental deletion by a user of your cloud, add the deletion_protection field set to true to your cluster description:

    resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
      ...
      deletion_protection = <protect_cluster_from_deletion>
    }
    

    Even with cluster deletion protection enabled, one can still delete a user or database or connect manually and delete the database contents.

    To disable the protection, set the value to false.

  5. Validate your configuration.

    1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

    2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

  6. Confirm updating the resources.

    1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

    2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

        terraform apply
        
      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

For more information, see this Terraform provider guide.

Timeouts

The Terraform provider sets the following timeouts for Yandex StoreDoc cluster operations:

  • Creating a cluster, including by restoring one from a backup: 30 minutes.
  • Editing a cluster: 60 minutes.

Operations exceeding the set timeout are interrupted.

How do I change these limits?

Add the timeouts block to the cluster description, for example:

resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
  ...
  timeouts {
    create = "1h30m" # An hour and a half
    update = "2h"    # Two hours
  }
}
  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and save it as an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Create a file named body.json and paste the following code into it:

        mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
        yandex.cloud.mdb.mongodb.v1.ClusterService.Move
    

    Where destination_folder_id is the ID of the folder you want to move your cluster to. You can fetch this ID together with the list of folders in the cloud.

    You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  4. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Navigate to the folder dashboard and select Yandex StoreDoc.
  2. Select the cluster and click Edit in the top panel.
  3. Under Network settings, select security groups for cluster network traffic.
  4. Click Save changes.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To edit the list of security groups for your cluster:

  1. View the description of the CLI command for updating a cluster:

    yc managed-mongodb cluster update --help
    
  2. Specify the security groups in that command:

    yc managed-mongodb cluster update <cluster_name_or_ID> \
      --security-group-ids <list_of_security_group_IDs>
    
  1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing your infrastructure.

    For more information about creating this file, see this guide.

  2. Edit the security_group_ids parameter in the Yandex StoreDoc cluster description:

    resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
      ...
      security_group_ids = [ <list_of_security_group_IDs> ]
      ...
    }
    
  3. Validate your configuration.

    1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

    2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

  4. Confirm updating the resources.

    1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

    2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

        terraform apply
        
      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

For more information, see this Terraform provider guide.

Timeouts

The Terraform provider sets the following timeouts for Yandex StoreDoc cluster operations:

  • Creating a cluster, including by restoring one from a backup: 30 minutes.
  • Editing a cluster: 60 minutes.

Operations exceeding the set timeout are interrupted.

How do I change these limits?

Add the timeouts block to the cluster description, for example:

resource "yandex_mdb_mongodb_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
  ...
  timeouts {
    create = "1h30m" # An hour and a half
    update = "2h"    # Two hours
  }
}
  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and place it in an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Use the Cluster.Update method to execute the following request via cURL:

    Warning

    The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the updateMask parameter as a single comma-separated string.

    curl \
        --request PATCH \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
        --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-mongodb/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>' \
        --data '{
                  "updateMask": "securityGroupIds",
                  "securityGroupIds": [
                    "<security_group_1_ID>",
                    "<security_group_2_ID>",
                    ...
                    "<security_group_N_ID>"
                  ]
                }'
    

    Where:

    • updateMask: Comma-separated list of settings you want to update.

      Here, we provide only one setting.

    • securityGroupIds: List of security group IDs.

    You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  3. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and save it as an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume the repository contents are stored in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Use the ClusterService.Update call to execute the following request, e.g., via gRPCurl:

    Warning

    The API method will assign default values to all the parameters of the object you are modifying unless you explicitly provide them in your request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the update_mask parameter as an array of paths[] strings.

    Format for listing settings
    "update_mask": {
        "paths": [
            "<setting_1>",
            "<setting_2>",
            ...
            "<setting_N>"
        ]
    }
    
    grpcurl \
        -format json \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
        -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
        -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/mongodb/v1/cluster_service.proto \
        -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
        -d '{
              "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>",
              "update_mask": {
                "paths": [
                  "security_group_ids"
                ]
              },
              "security_group_ids": [
                "<security_group_1_ID>",
                "<security_group_2_ID>",
                ...
                "<security_group_N_ID>"
              ]
            }' \
        mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
        yandex.cloud.mdb.mongodb.v1.ClusterService.Update
    

    Where:

    • update_mask: List of settings you want to update as an array of paths[] strings.

      Here, we provide only one setting.

    • security_group_ids: List of security group IDs.

    You can request the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  4. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

Warning

You may need to additionally set up security groups to connect to the cluster.
