By default, \fBmongotop\fP returns values every second. .sp \fBIMPORTANT:\fP .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 In order to connect to a \fBmongod\fP that enforces authorization with the \fI\-\-auth\fP option, the \fI\-\-username\fP and \fI\-\-password\fP options must be used, and the user specified must have the \fBserverStatus\fP and \fBtop\fP privileges. .sp The most appropriate built\-in role that has these privileges is \fBclusterMonitor\fP\&. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp \fBSEE ALSO:\fP .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 For more information about monitoring MongoDB, see http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/administration/monitoring\&. .sp For additional background on various other MongoDB status outputs see: .INDENT 0.0 .IP \(bu 2 http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/serverStatus .IP \(bu 2 http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/replSetGetStatus .IP \(bu 2 http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/dbStats .IP \(bu 2 http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/command/collStats .UNINDENT .sp For an additional utility that provides MongoDB metrics see \fBmongostat\fP\&. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .SH OPTIONS .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mongotop .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mongotop .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-help Returns information on the options and use of \fBmongotop\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-verbose, \-v Increases the amount of internal reporting returned on standard output or in log files. 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 \-\-quiet Runs the \fBmongotop\fP in a quiet mode that attempts to limit the amount of output. .sp This option suppresses: .INDENT 7.0 .IP \(bu 2 output from \fIdatabase commands\fP .IP \(bu 2 replication activity .IP \(bu 2 connection accepted events .IP \(bu 2 connection closed events .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-version Returns the \fBmongotop\fP release number. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-host <:port>, \-h <:port> \fIDefault\fP: localhost:27017 .sp Specifies a resolvable hostname for the \fBmongod\fP to which to connect. By default, the \fBmongotop\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 \fBreplSetName\fP and a seed list of set members, as in the following: .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C /<:port>,<: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. .sp Changed in version 3.0.0: If you use IPv6 and use the \fB
:\fP format, you must enclose the portion of an address and port combination in brackets (e.g. \fB[
]\fP). .sp If connected to a replica set where the \fIprimary\fP is not reachable, \fBmongotop\fP returns an error message. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-port \fIDefault\fP: 27017 .sp Specifies the TCP port on which the MongoDB instance listens for client connections. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-ipv6 Enables IPv6 support and allows the \fBmongotop\fP to connect to the MongoDB instance using an IPv6 network. All MongoDB programs and processes 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\&. .sp \fBWARNING:\fP .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 If the \fBmongo\fP shell or any other tool that connects to \fBmongos\fP or \fBmongod\fP is run without \fI\-\-sslCAFile\fP, it will not attempt to validate server certificates. This results in vulnerability to expired \fBmongod\fP and \fBmongos\fP certificates as well as to foreign processes posing as valid \fBmongod\fP or \fBmongos\fP instances. Ensure that you \fIalways\fP specify the CA file against which server certificates should be validated in cases where intrusion is a possibility. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .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 \fBCAFile\fP enabled \fIwithout\fP \fBallowConnectionsWithoutCertificates\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 the \fI\%\-\-sslPEMKeyPassword\fP option only if the certificate\-key file is encrypted. In all cases, the \fBmongotop\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 the \fI\%\-\-sslPEMKeyPassword\fP option, the \fBmongotop\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 \fBallowInvalidCertificates\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 \-\-sslAllowInvalidHostnames New in version 3.0. .sp Disables the validation of the hostnames in SSL certificates. Allows \fBmongotop\fP to connect to MongoDB instances if the hostname their certificates do not match the specified hostname. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-sslFIPSMode New in version 2.6. .sp Directs the \fBmongotop\fP to use the FIPS mode of the installed OpenSSL library. Your system must have a FIPS compliant OpenSSL library to use the \fI\%\-\-sslFIPSMode\fP option. .sp \fBNOTE:\fP .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 FIPS Compatible SSL is available only in \fI\%MongoDB Enterprise\fP\&. See http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/configure\-fips for more information. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .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. .sp If you do not specify an argument for \fI\%\-\-password\fP, \fBmongotop\fP will prompt interactively for a password on the console. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-authenticationDatabase New in version 2.4. .sp Specifies the database that holds the user\(aqs credentials. .sp Changed in version 3.0.0: \fI\%\-\-authenticationDatabase\fP is required for \fBmongod\fP and \fBmongos\fP instances that use \fIauthentication\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-authenticationMechanism \fIDefault\fP: MONGODB\-CR .sp New in version 2.4. .sp Changed in version 2.6: Added support for the \fBPLAIN\fP and \fBMONGODB\-X509\fP authentication mechanisms. .sp Specifies the authentication mechanism the \fBmongotop\fP instance uses to authenticate to the \fBmongod\fP or \fBmongos\fP\&. .TS center; |l|l|. _ T{ Value T} T{ Description T} _ T{ MONGODB\-CR T} T{ MongoDB challenge/response authentication.

Only required if the service does not use the default name of \fBmongodb\fP\&. .sp This option is available only in MongoDB Enterprise. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-gssapiHostName New in version 2.6. .sp Specify the hostname of a service using \fBGSSAPI/Kerberos\fP\&. \fIOnly\fP required if the hostname of a machine does not match the hostname resolved by DNS. .sp This option is available only in MongoDB Enterprise. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-locks Toggles the mode of \fBmongotop\fP to report on use of per\-database \fIlocks\fP\&. These data are useful for measuring concurrent operations and lock percentage. .sp \fI\%\-\-locks\fP returns an error when called against a \fBmongod\fP instance that does not report lock usage. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-rowcount int, \-n int Number of lines of data that \fBmongotop\fP should print. "0 for indefinite" .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-json New in version 3.0.0. .sp Returns output for \fBmongotop\fP in \fIJSON\fP format. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B The final argument is the length of time, in seconds, that \fBmongotop\fP waits in between calls. By default \fBmongotop\fP returns data every second. .UNINDENT .SH FIELDS .sp \fBmongotop\fP returns time values specified in milliseconds (ms.) .sp \fBmongotop\fP only reports active namespaces or databases, depending on the \fI\%\-\-locks\fP option. If you don\(aqt see a database or collection, it has received no recent activity. You can issue a simple operation in the \fBmongo\fP shell to generate activity to affect the output of \fBmongotop\fP\&. .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mongotop.ns Contains the database namespace, which combines the database name and collection. .sp Changed in version 2.2: If you use the \fImongotop \-\-locks\fP, the \fBns\fP field does not appear in the \fBmongotop\fP output. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mongotop.db New in version 2.2. .sp Contains the name of the database. The database named \fB\&.\fP refers to the global lock, rather than a specific database. .sp This field does not appear unless you have invoked \fBmongotop\fP with the \fI\%\-\-locks\fP option. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mongotop.total Provides the total amount of time that this \fBmongod\fP spent operating on this namespace. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mongotop.read Provides the amount of time that this \fBmongod\fP spent performing read operations on this namespace. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mongotop.write Provides the amount of time that this \fBmongod\fP spent performing write operations on this namespace. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B mongotop. Provides a time stamp for the returned data. .UNINDENT .SH USE .sp By default \fBmongotop\fP connects to the MongoDB instance running on the localhost port \fB27017\fP\&. However, \fBmongotop\fP can optionally connect to remote \fBmongod\fP instances. See the \fI\%mongotop options\fP for more information. .sp To force \fBmongotop\fP to return less frequently specify a number, in seconds at the end of the command. In this example, \fBmongotop\fP will return every 15 seconds. .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C mongotop 15 .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp This command produces the following output: .INDENT 0.0 .INDENT 3.5 .sp .nf .ft C ns total read write 2014\-12\-19T15:32:01\-05:00 admin.system.roles 0ms 0ms 0ms admin.system.version 0ms 0ms 0ms local.me 0ms 0ms 0ms local.oplog.rs 0ms 0ms 0ms local.replset.minvalid 0ms 0ms 0ms local.startup_log 0ms 0ms 0ms local.system.indexes 0ms 0ms 0ms local.system.namespaces 0ms 0ms 0ms local.system.replset 0ms 0ms 0ms ns total read write 2014\-12\-19T15:47:01\-05:00 admin.system.roles 0ms 0ms 0ms admin.system.version 0ms 0ms 0ms local.me 0ms 0ms 0ms local.oplog.rs 0ms 0ms 0ms local.replset.minvalid 0ms 0ms 0ms local.startup_log 0ms 0ms 0ms local.system.indexes 0ms 0ms 0ms local.system.namespaces 0ms 0ms 0ms local.system.replset 0ms 0ms 0ms .ft P .fi .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp The output varies depending on your MongoDB setup.
