From MongoDB Atlas Performance Advisor to Obsfly

Atlas-only. Self-hosted Mongo or non-Atlas clusters get nothing.

Why teams switch

  • Atlas-only. Self-hosted Mongo or non-Atlas clusters get nothing.
  • Performance Advisor is reactive — surfaces problems after they happen, not before.
  • No multi-engine view; teams running Postgres + Mongo end up with two tools.
  • No forecast-based capacity alerts.

What Atlas Performance Advisor is genuinely good at

Fairness signal — useful in renewal conversations.

  • Free with Atlas — useful as a baseline.
  • Tight integration with Atlas-native operations.

Migration playbook

  1. Step 1

    Connect Obsfly to your Atlas clusters

    Read-only monitoring user via Atlas DB Access. No agent install needed.

  2. Step 2

    Map non-Atlas Mongo too

    Self-hosted, EKS, GCP MongoDB Enterprise — all covered the same way.

  3. Step 3

    Set up forecast-band rules

    Predict working-set growth, oplog window shrinkage, and disk fill 30+ days out.

  4. Step 4

    Keep Performance Advisor

    It's free; run both. Use Obsfly for cross-fleet, alerting, and forecast.

Pitfalls to avoid

  • Atlas's Performance Advisor uses its own slow-query threshold; align it with Obsfly's profiler config.

FAQ

Can Obsfly drive Atlas auto-scaling?
