Definition

$listSampledQueries: Returns sampled queries for all collections or a specific collection. Sampled queries are used by the analyzeShardKey command to calculate metrics about the read and write distribution of a shard key.

Syntax

$listSampledQueries has this syntax:

{
   $listSampledQueries: { namespace: <namespace> }
}

Behavior

To list sampled queries for a single collection, specify the collection in the namespace argument.
To list sampled queries for all collections, omit the namespace argument.

Access Control

$listSampledQueries requires the clusterMonitor role on the cluster.

Limitations

You cannot use $listSampledQueries on Atlas multi-tenant configurations.
You cannot use $listSampledQueries on standalone deployments.
You cannot use $listSampledQueries directly against a --shardsvr replica set. When running on a sharded cluster, $listSampledQueries must run against a mongos.

Examples

List Sampled Queries for All Collections

The following aggregation operation lists all sampled queries for all collections in the replica set:

db.aggregate( [  { $listSampledQueries: {  } } ] )

List Sampled Queries for A Specific Collection

The following aggregation operation lists all sampled queries for a post collections on the social database:

db.aggregate( [  { $listSampledQueries: { namespace: "social.post" } } ] )

Output

The output fields differ for read and write queries.
