Increase the verbosity with the \fB\-v\fP form by including the option multiple times, (e.g. \fB\-vvvvv\fP\&.) .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-version Returns the \fBmongostat\fP release number. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-host <:port>, \-h Specifies a resolvable hostname for the \fBmongod\fP to which to connect. By default \fBmongostat\fP attempts to connect to a MongoDB instance running on the localhost on port number \fB27017\fP\&. .sp To connect to a replica set, specify the replica set seed name and the seed list of set members. Use the following format: .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C /<:port>,,... .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp You can always connect directly to a single MongoDB instance by specifying the host and port number directly. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-port Specifies the port number when the MongoDB instance is not running on the standard port of \fB27017\fP\&. You may also specify the port number using the \fB\-\-host\fP option. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-ipv6 Enables IPv6 support, which allows \fBmongostat\fP to connect to the MongoDB instance using an IPv6 network. All MongoDB programs and processes, including \fBmongostat\fP, disable IPv6 support by default. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-ssl New in version 2.6. .sp Enables connection to a \fBmongod\fP or \fBmongos\fP that has SSL support enabled. .sp The default distribution of MongoDB does not contain support for SSL. For more information on MongoDB and SSL, see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure\-ssl\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-sslCAFile New in version 2.6. .sp Specifies the \fB\&.pem\fP file that contains the root certificate chain from the Certificate Authority. Specify the file name of the \fB\&.pem\fP file using relative or absolute paths. .sp The default distribution of MongoDB does not contain support for SSL. For more information on MongoDB and SSL, see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure\-ssl\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-sslPEMKeyFile New in version 2.6. .sp Specifies the \fB\&.pem\fP file that contains both the SSL certificate and key. Specify the file name of the \fB\&.pem\fP file using relative or absolute paths. .sp This option is required when using the \fI\-\-ssl\fP option to connect to a \fBmongod\fP or \fBmongos\fP that has \fBsslCAFile\fP enabled \fIwithout\fP \fBsslWeakCertificateValidation\fP\&. .sp The default distribution of MongoDB does not contain support for SSL. For more information on MongoDB and SSL, see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure\-ssl\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-sslPEMKeyPassword New in version 2.6. .sp Specifies the password to de\-crypt the certificate\-key file (i.e. \fI\-\-sslPEMKeyFile\fP). Use \fI\-\-sslPEMKeyPassword\fP only if the certificate\-key file is encrypted. In all cases, \fBmongostat\fP will redact the password from all logging and reporting output. .sp If the private key in the PEM file is encrypted and you do not specify \fI\-\-sslPEMKeyPassword\fP, \fBmongostat\fP will prompt for a passphrase. See \fIssl\-certificate\-password\fP\&. .sp The default distribution of MongoDB does not contain support for SSL. For more information on MongoDB and SSL, see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure\-ssl\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-sslCRLFile New in version 2.6. .sp Specifies the \fB\&.pem\fP file that contains the Certificate Revocation List. Specify the file name of the \fB\&.pem\fP file using relative or absolute paths. .sp The default distribution of MongoDB does not contain support for SSL. For more information on MongoDB and SSL, see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure\-ssl\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-sslAllowInvalidCertificates New in version 2.6. .sp Bypasses the validation checks for server certificates and allows the use of invalid certificates. When using the \fBsslAllowInvalidCertificates\fP setting, MongoDB logs as a warning the use of the invalid certificate. .sp The default distribution of MongoDB does not contain support for SSL. For more information on MongoDB and SSL, see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure\-ssl\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-sslFIPSMode New in version 2.6. .sp Directs \fBmongostat\fP to use the FIPS mode of the installed OpenSSL library. Your system must have a FIPS compliant OpenSSL library to use \fI\-\-sslFIPSMode\fP\&. .sp The default distribution of MongoDB does not contain support for SSL. For more information on MongoDB and SSL, see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure\-ssl\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-username , \-u Specifies a username with which to authenticate to a MongoDB database that uses authentication. Use in conjunction with the \fB\-\-password\fP and \fB\-\-authenticationDatabase\fP options. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-password , \-p Specifies a password with which to authenticate to a MongoDB database that uses authentication. Use in conjunction with the \fB\-\-username\fP and \fB\-\-authenticationDatabase\fP options. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-authenticationDatabase New in version 2.4. .sp Specifies the database that holds the user\(aqs credentials. If you do not specify an authentication database, \fBmongostat\fP assumes that the database specified as the argument to the \fI\-\-db\fP option holds the user\(aqs credentials. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-authenticationMechanism New in version 2.4. .sp Specifies the authentication mechanism. By default, the authentication mechanism is \fBMONGODB\-CR\fP, which is the MongoDB challenge/response authentication mechanism. In MongoDB Enterprise, \fBmongostat\fP also includes support for \fBGSSAPI\fP to handle Kerberos authentication. See http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/control\-access\-to\-mongodb\-with\-kerberos\-authentication for more information about Kerberos authentication. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-noheaders Disables the output of column or field names. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-rowcount , \-n Controls the number of rows to output. Use in conjunction with the \fBsleeptime\fP argument to control the duration of a \fBmongostat\fP operation. .sp Unless \fI\%\-\-rowcount\fP is specified, \fBmongostat\fP will return an infinite number of rows (e.g. value of \fB0\fP\&.) .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-http Configures \fBmongostat\fP to collect data using the HTTP interface rather than a raw database connection. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-discover Discovers and reports on statistics from all members of a \fIreplica set\fP or \fIsharded cluster\fP\&. When connected to any member of a replica set, \fI\%\-\-discover\fP all non\-\fIhidden members\fP of the replica set. When connected to a \fBmongos\fP, \fBmongostat\fP will return data from all \fIshards\fP in the cluster. If a replica set provides a shard in the sharded cluster, \fBmongostat\fP will report on non\-hidden members of that replica set. .sp The \fImongostat \-\-host\fP option is not required but potentially useful in this case. .sp Changed in version 2.6: When running with \fI\%\-\-discover\fP, \fBmongostat\fP now respects :option:\-\-rowcount\(ga. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-all Configures \fBmongostat\fP to return all optional \fI\%fields\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B The final argument is the length of time, in seconds, that \fBmongostat\fP waits in between calls. By default \fBmongostat\fP returns one call every second. .sp \fBmongostat\fP returns values that reflect the operations over a 1 second period. For values of \fB\fP greater than 1, \fBmongostat\fP averages data to reflect average operations per second. .UNINDENT .SH FIELDS .sp \fBmongostat\fP returns values that reflect the operations over a 1 second period. When \fBmongostat \fP has a value greater than 1, \fBmongostat\fP averages the statistics to reflect average operations per second. .sp \fBmongostat\fP outputs the following fields: .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B inserts The number of objects inserted into the database per second. If followed by an asterisk (e.g. \fB*\fP), the datum refers to a replicated operation. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B query The number of query operations per second. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B update The number of update operations per second. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B delete The number of delete operations per second. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B getmore The number of get more (i.e. cursor batch) operations per second. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B command The number of commands per second. On \fIslave\fP and \fIsecondary\fP systems, \fBmongostat\fP presents two values separated by a pipe character (e.g. \fB|\fP), in the form of \fBlocal|replicated\fP commands. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B flushes The number of \fIfsync\fP operations per second. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mapped The total amount of data mapped in megabytes. This is the total data size at the time of the last \fBmongostat\fP call. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B size The amount of virtual memory in megabytes used by the process at the time of the last \fBmongostat\fP call. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B non\-mapped The total amount of virtual memory excluding all mapped memory at the time of the last \fBmongostat\fP call. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B res The amount of resident memory in megabytes used by the process at the time of the last \fBmongostat\fP call. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B faults Changed in version 2.1. .sp The number of page faults per second. .sp Before version 2.1 this value was only provided for MongoDB instances running on Linux hosts. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B locked The percent of time in a global write lock. .sp Changed in version 2.2: The \fBlocked db\fP field replaces the \fBlocked %\fP field to more appropriate data regarding the database specific locks in version 2.2. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B locked db New in version 2.2. .sp The percent of time in the per\-database context\-specific lock. \fBmongostat\fP will report the database that has spent the most time since the last \fBmongostat\fP call with a write lock. .sp This value represents the amount of time that the listed database spent in a locked state \fIcombined\fP with the time that the \fBmongod\fP spent in the global lock. Because of this, and the sampling method, you may see some values greater than 100%. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B idx miss The percent of index access attempts that required a page fault to load a btree node. This is a sampled value. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B qr The length of the queue of clients waiting to read data from the MongoDB instance. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B qw The length of the queue of clients waiting to write data from the MongoDB instance. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B ar The number of active clients performing read operations. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B aw The number of active clients performing write operations. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B netIn The amount of network traffic, in \fIbytes\fP, received by the MongoDB instance. .sp This includes traffic from \fBmongostat\fP itself. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B netOut The amount of network traffic, in \fIbytes\fP, sent by the MongoDB instance. .sp This includes traffic from \fBmongostat\fP itself. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B conn The total number of open connections. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B set The name, if applicable, of the replica set. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B repl The replication status of the member. .TS center; |l|l|. _ T{ \fBValue\fP T} T{ \fBReplication Type\fP T} _ T{ M T} T{ \fImaster\fP T} _ T{ SEC T} T{ \fIsecondary\fP T} _ T{ REC T} T{ recovering T} _ T{ UNK T} T{ unknown T} _ T{ SLV T} T{ \fIslave\fP T} _ .TE .UNINDENT .SH USAGE .sp In the first example, \fBmongostat\fP will return data every second for 20 seconds. \fBmongostat\fP collects data from the \fBmongod\fP instance running on the localhost interface on port 27017. All of the following invocations produce identical behavior: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C mongostat \-\-rowcount 20 1 mongostat \-\-rowcount 20 mongostat \-n 20 1 mongostat \-n 20 .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp In the next example, \fBmongostat\fP returns data every 5 minutes (or 300 seconds) for as long as the program runs. \fBmongostat\fP collects data from the \fBmongod\fP instance running on the localhost interface on port \fB27017\fP\&. Both of the following invocations produce identical behavior. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C mongostat \-\-rowcount 0 300 mongostat \-n 0 300 mongostat 300 .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp In the following example, \fBmongostat\fP returns data every 5 minutes for an hour (12 times.) \fBmongostat\fP collects data from the \fBmongod\fP instance running on the localhost interface on port 27017. Both of the following invocations produce identical behavior. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C mongostat \-\-rowcount 12 300 mongostat \-n 12 300 .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp In many cases, using the \fI\-\-discover\fP will help provide a more complete snapshot of the state of an entire group of machines. If a \fBmongos\fP process connected to a \fIsharded cluster\fP is running on port \fB27017\fP of the local machine, you can use the following form to return statistics from all members of the cluster: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C mongostat \-\-discover .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SH AUTHOR MongoDB Documentation Project .SH COPYRIGHT 2011-2014, MongoDB, Inc. .\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. .
