DocumentDB 4.0 mongodump error checking for AtlasProxy: Unknown admin command atlasVersion

1

Starting from 2023-03-01 the mongodump command fails to exec on documentDB 4.0 instances. Before this date the mongodump command was working just fine.

Error trace:

Failed: error checking for AtlasProxy: Unknown admin command atlasVersion

I've used mongodb-org-tools=4.4.15 and mongodb-org-tools=5.0.15 to run the mongodump with the same result.

Command:

mongodump --ssl \
        --host="$DB_HOST:$DB_PORT" \
        --db="$DB_DATABASE" \
        --username="$DB_USERNAME" \
        --password="$DB_PASSWORD" \
        --archive=./production-mongodump.gz \
        --numParallelCollections=4 \
        --authenticationDatabase="$DB_AUTHENTICATION_DATABASE" \
        --authenticationMechanism=SCRAM-SHA-1 \
        --sslCAFile=./rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem \
        --gzip

Any ideas of what this can be?

We were having same issue (with mongodump) since 2023-03-01; and it seems to be an issue with the latess update of mongodb-database-tools. In the latest version (100.7.0-1) we were facing this issue, so we have to downgrade to previous version and everything is working again:

yum downgrade mongodb-database-tools-100.6.1-1

I don't know if this issue is docDB related, or mongo tools related; but for now I think the only option we have is to downgrade this mongo tools.

    Thanks for your answer, I would assume is a change in DocumentDB rather than mongo tools because I've been using the same mongo tools version for a long time. Anyways, I downgraded from mongodb-org-tools=4.4.15 to mongodb-org-tools=4.0.28 following your suggestion and works again.

    For reference, this is how I install the tools in my runners:

    wget -qO - https://www.mongodb.org/static/pgp/server-4.0.asc | apt-key add -

    echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu bionic/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list

    apt-get update && apt-get install -y mongodb-org-tools=4.0.28

    This saved me as well, though I'm using Database Tools and not "org tools". I took my package info from MongoDB Database tools. The main page doesn't give you an option to download old versions, but you can just sub out the version number, e.g.:

    wget https://fastdl.mongodb.org/tools/db/mongodb-database-tools-ubuntu1604-x86_64-100.6.1.deb

sudo apt uninstall mongodb-database-tools
sudo apt install ./mongodb-database-tools-ubuntu1604-x86_64-100.6.1.deb

    I was using the official MongoDB docker image and also had to downgrade to mongo:6.0.2.

I'm actually having the same issue.

I'm migrating from Atlas to DocumentDB and I'm getting the same error "Unknown admin command atlasVersion" when I use mongorestore command.

    Some versions of mongodb-database-tools/mongodb-org-tools stopped working (I would assume by an DocumentDB update). Simply downgrade the version of mongodb-database-tools/mongodb-org-tools you are using. Check the accepted answer for the working versions.
