Activity Insights - MongoDB Cloud Atlas

To display activity data from MongoDB Cloud Atlas, you can set up a single SaaS connector or configure both a virtual appliance (VA) and Activity Insights - MongoDB Cloud Atlas connector.

Configuring Activity Insights Using the MongoDB Cloud Atlas SaaS Connector

If you are using the MongoDB Cloud Atlas SaaS connector, follow the connector guide to enable Activity Insights.

After a successful test connection, you must correlate accounts and run an aggregation for the MongoDB Cloud Atlas SaaS source. Your activity data will begin syncing immediately but may take up to 24 hours to display. Data will then update daily.

Configuring Activity Insights Using a VA-Based Source

If you are setting up Activity Insights using a VA-based connector, you must create an API key in MongoDB Cloud Atlas. The Atlas API key acts as a service account and is used to manage database users in each Project under a single Organization. You'll then configure both the MongoDB Cloud Atlas and Activity Insights - MongoDB Cloud Atlas connectors so that Identity Security Cloud can gather your account information and display activity data.

Important

MongoDB Cloud Atlas only connects to trusted IP addresses, so you must create a list of trusted IP addresses in Atlas for every VA that can connect to your cluster.

Creating API Keys in MongoDB Cloud Atlas

Follow the MongoDB Cloud Atlas product documentation to create an API key. You'll use the API URL, public key, and private key to connect MongoDB Cloud Atlas to Identity Security Cloud.

Important

You must have Organization Owner access to Atlas to create an API key.

Configuring the MongoDB Cloud Atlas VA-Based Source

Follow the SailPoint connector guide to configure your MongoDB Cloud Atlas source in Identity Security Cloud. You can also edit an existing source.

Configuring the Activity Insights - MongoDB Cloud Atlas Source

To display activity data from MongoDB Cloud Atlas, you must configure the Activity Insights - MongoDB Cloud Atlas source in Identity Security Cloud.

  1. From the navigation menu, select Admin > Connections > Sources.

  2. Select Create New to create a new source.

  3. Search for and select the Activity Insights - MongoDB Cloud Atlas connector.

  4. Enter a name and description for the source.

  5. In the Source Owner field, begin typing the name of the owner. Matches appear after you type two letters.

  6. (Optional) Select a governance group for source management.

  7. Select the checkbox if the source is an authoritative source.

  8. Select Continue to create the source.

  9. Select Configuration from the left panel.

  10. Enter the following information:

    • API URL - The API URL used for the Atlas API.
    • Public Key - The public key from MongoDB Cloud Atlas.
    • Private Key - The private key from MongoDB Cloud Atlas.

  11. Select Save to save your settings.

  12. Select Review and Test from the left panel.

  13. Select Test Connection to test the connection between MongoDB Cloud Atlas and Identity Security Cloud. The test must be successful for your tenant to gather activity data. If the test is unsuccessful, retry your credentials or contact SailPoint Support.

To gather account data, you must correlate accounts and run an aggregation for the MongoDB Cloud Atlas identity governance source. Your activity data will begin syncing immediately but may take up to 24 hours to display. Data will then be updated daily.
