Hello, I’m currently trying to enable backups for a MongoDB. But the backup agent throws following errors. I get the feeling that this is a permission issue. ```auto 2022-06-08T07:48:08.000+0000 I got command backup [name: 2022-06-08T07:48:07Z, compression: gzip (level: 6)] 2022-06-08T07:48:08.000+0000 I got epoch {1654674474 1} 2022-06-08T07:48:08.000+0000 E [backup/2022-06-08T07:48:07Z] node check: get node status: not found ``` Also I get a lot of ```auto [agentCheckup] get replSetGetStatus: not found ``` [gist to log](https://gist.github.com/brainslush/98b2bb81c2b32efae0b74322b670944c) The `rs.status()` command returns ```auto { set: 'rs0', date: 2022-06-08T07:46:51.094Z, myState: 1, term: Long("16"), syncSourceHost: '', syncSourceId: -1, heartbeatIntervalMillis: Long("2000"), majorityVoteCount: 1, writeMajorityCount: 1, votingMembersCount: 1, writableVotingMembersCount: 1, optimes: { lastCommittedOpTime: { ts: Timestamp({ t: 1654674409, i: 1 }), t: Long("16") }, lastCommittedWallTime: 2022-06-08T07:46:49.009Z, readConcernMajorityOpTime: { ts: Timestamp({ t: 1654674409, i: 1 }), t: Long("16") }, appliedOpTime: { ts: Timestamp({ t: 1654674409, i: 1 }), t: Long("16") }, durableOpTime: { ts: Timestamp({ t: 1654674409, i: 1 }), t: Long("16") }, lastAppliedWallTime: 2022-06-08T07:46:49.009Z, lastDurableWallTime: 2022-06-08T07:46:49.009Z }, lastStableRecoveryTimestamp: Timestamp({ t: 1654674349, i: 1 }), electionCandidateMetrics: { lastElectionReason: 'electionTimeout', lastElectionDate: 2022-06-08T07:44:03.693Z, electionTerm: Long("16"), lastCommittedOpTimeAtElection: { ts: Timestamp({ t: 0, i: 0 }), t: Long("-1") }, lastSeenOpTimeAtElection: { ts: Timestamp({ t: 1654674221, i: 2 }), t: Long("15") }, numVotesNeeded: 1, priorityAtElection: 2, electionTimeoutMillis: Long("10000"), newTermStartDate: 2022-06-08T07:44:03.725Z, wMajorityWriteAvailabilityDate: 2022-06-08T07:44:03.738Z }, members: [ { _id: 0, name: '20.0.0.12:27017', health: 1, state: 1, stateStr: 'PRIMARY', uptime: 180, optime: [Object], optimeDate: 2022-06-08T07:46:49.000Z, lastAppliedWallTime: 2022-06-08T07:46:49.009Z, lastDurableWallTime: 2022-06-08T07:46:49.009Z, syncSourceHost: '', syncSourceId: -1, infoMessage: '', electionTime: Timestamp({ t: 1654674243, i: 1 }), electionDate: 2022-06-08T07:44:03.000Z, configVersion: 32866449, configTerm: -1, self: true, lastHeartbeatMessage: '' } ], ok: 1, '$clusterTime': { clusterTime: Timestamp({ t: 1654674409, i: 1 }), signature: { hash: Binary(Buffer.from("4a9a219e1008f161772e56810ac9c01cfa9a0dd9", "hex"), 0), keyId: Long("7097192070888030213") } }, operationTime: Timestamp({ t: 1654674409, i: 1 }) } ``` ---

I did some more digging: Running the following in the ‘Backup-Agent’ Container `mongo mongodb://${PBM_AGENT_MONGODB_USERNAME}:${PBM_AGENT_MONGODB_PASSWORD}@127.0.0.1:${PBM_MONGODB_PORT}` returns ```auto { "set" : "rs0", "date" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:55:04.099Z"), "myState" : 1, "term" : NumberLong(17), "syncSourceHost" : "", "syncSourceId" : -1, "heartbeatIntervalMillis" : NumberLong(2000), "majorityVoteCount" : 1, "writeMajorityCount" : 1, "votingMembersCount" : 1, "writableVotingMembersCount" : 1, "optimes" : { "lastCommittedOpTime" : { "ts" : Timestamp(1654851301, 2), "t" : NumberLong(17) }, "lastCommittedWallTime" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:55:01.110Z"), "readConcernMajorityOpTime" : { "ts" : Timestamp(1654851301, 2), "t" : NumberLong(17) }, "appliedOpTime" : { "ts" : Timestamp(1654851301, 2), "t" : NumberLong(17) }, "durableOpTime" : { "ts" : Timestamp(1654851301, 2), "t" : NumberLong(17) }, "lastAppliedWallTime" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:55:01.110Z"), "lastDurableWallTime" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:55:01.110Z") }, "lastStableRecoveryTimestamp" : Timestamp(1654851256, 15), "electionCandidateMetrics" : { "lastElectionReason" : "electionTimeout", "lastElectionDate" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:15:20.888Z"), "electionTerm" : NumberLong(17), "lastCommittedOpTimeAtElection" : { "ts" : Timestamp(0, 0), "t" : NumberLong(-1) }, "lastSeenOpTimeAtElection" : { "ts" : Timestamp(1654848844, 1), "t" : NumberLong(16) }, "numVotesNeeded" : 1, "priorityAtElection" : 2, "electionTimeoutMillis" : NumberLong(10000), "newTermStartDate" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:15:20.949Z"), "wMajorityWriteAvailabilityDate" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:15:20.956Z") }, "members" : [ { "_id" : 0, "name" : "20.0.0.12:27017", "health" : 1, "state" : 1, "stateStr" : "PRIMARY", "uptime" : 2449, "optime" : { "ts" : Timestamp(1654851301, 2), "t" : NumberLong(17) }, "optimeDate" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:55:01Z"), "lastAppliedWallTime" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:55:01.110Z"), "lastDurableWallTime" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:55:01.110Z"), "syncSourceHost" : "", "syncSourceId" : -1, "infoMessage" : "", "electionTime" : Timestamp(1654848920, 1), "electionDate" : ISODate("2022-06-10T08:15:20Z"), "configVersion" : 33021609, "configTerm" : -1, "self" : true, "lastHeartbeatMessage" : "" } ], "ok" : 1, "$clusterTime" : { "clusterTime" : Timestamp(1654851301, 2), "signature" : { "hash" : BinData(0,"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA="), "keyId" : NumberLong(0) } }, "operationTime" : Timestamp(1654851301, 2) } ``` `pbm status --mongodb-url mongodb://${PBM_AGENT_MONGODB_USERNAME}:${PBM_AGENT_MONGODB_PASSWORD}@127.0.0.1:${PBM_MONGODB_PORT}` returns ```auto bash-4.2$ pbm status --mongodb-uri=mongodb://${PBM_AGENT_MONGODB_USERNAME}:${PBM_AGENT_MONGODB_PASSWORD}@127.0.0.1:${PBM_MONGODB_PORT} Cluster: ======== rs0: - rs0/20.0.0.12:27017: pbm-agent NOT FOUND FAILED status: PITR incremental backup: ======================== Status [OFF]Currently running: ================== (none)Backups: ======== Azure https://xxxxxxxx.blob.core.windows.net/xxxxxxx (none) bash-4.2$ ``` ---

For all that come across this post: I had a similar issue with one node of my replicaSet not being recognized by pbm. For me, changing the MongoDB URI from localhost to the nodes IP and restarting pbm did the trick. Maybe, in general restarting pbm via `sudo systemctl restart pbm-agent` might work.
