.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
The \fBmongostat\fP utility provides a quick overview of the
status of a currently running \fBmongod\fP
or \fBmongos\fP
instance. \fBmongostat\fP is functionally similar to the
UNIX/Linux file system utility \fBvmstat\fP, but provides data regarding
\fBmongod\fP and \fBmongos\fP instances.

.SH ACCESS CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
.sp
In order to connect to a \fBmongod\fP that enforces authorization
with the \fI\-\-auth\fP option, specify the
\fI\-\-username\fP and \fI\-\-password\fP options, and the user specified must have the
\fBserverStatus\fP privilege action on the cluster resources.
.sp
The built\-in role \fBclusterMonitor\fP provides this privilege as
well as other privileges. To create a role with just the privilege to
run \fBmongostat\fP, see \fIcreate\-role\-for\-mongostat\fP\&.

Specifies a resolvable hostname for the \fBmongod\fP to which to
connect. By default, the \fBmongostat\fP attempts to connect to a MongoDB
instance running on the localhost on port number \fB27017\fP\&.
.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<address>:<port>\fP format, you must
enclose the portion of an address and port combination in
brackets (e.g. \fB[<address>]\fP).

\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.

.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 \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
the \fI\-\-sslPEMKeyPassword\fP option, the \fBmongostat\fP will prompt for a passphrase. See
\fIssl\-certificate\-password\fP\&.
