View MongoDB Processes
On this page
To view the metrics for a specific MongoDB process in a Ops Manager deployment, click on that process from the Deployment view. The Ops Manager process view displays three tabs for monitoring metrics for the process:
The Status tab displays the process metrics Ops Manager collects from the selected mongod or mongos process.
The Hardware tab displays hardware metrics for the host machine supporting the selected mongod or mongos process.
The DB Stats tab displays the database metrics for the selected database.
Monitor deployment metrics to identify performance issues and determine whether your current deployment meets your requirements. To learn more about the metrics available to monitor your deployments, see Review Available Metrics.
Ops Manager retrieves database metrics every 20 minutes by default but adjusts frequency when necessary to reduce the impact on database performance. If the collection of database statistics still affects performance, you can disable collection by clicking Settings from the left-hand navigation, then Project Settings, and then setting Collect Database Specific Statistics to No.
The view for each tab has three distinct sections:
Chart Controls
Ops Manager provides the following controls for the Status, Hardware, and DB Stats views. Adjusting any of these options affects all charts displayed under the selected view:
Control | Function |
|---|---|
Granularity | Modifies the granularity of metrics displayed for each chart.
Select a granularity between 1 minute and 1 day (24 hours).
Select |
Zoom | Modifies the date range of metrics displayed for each chart. Select a zoom range between 1 hour and 5 years. Adjusting the Zoom automatically adjusts the Current Display date range. |
Current Display | Modifies the start and end date-time range of metrics displayed
for each chart. Modifying the start and end date sets the
