db.collection.totalSize()
db.collection.totalSize()
Important
mongosh Method
This page documents a
mongosh
method. This is not the documentation for database commands or language-specific drivers, such as Node.js.For the database command, see the
totalSize
field returned by thecollStats
command.For MongoDB API drivers, refer to the language-specific MongoDB driver documentation.
Returns: The total size in bytes of the data in the collection plus the size of every index on the collection. If collection data is compressed (which is the
default for WiredTiger
), the returned size reflects the compressed size of the collection data.If an index uses prefix compression (which is the
default for WiredTiger
), the returned size reflects the compressed size of the index.The value returned is the sum of
db.collection.storageSize()
anddb.collection.totalIndexSize()
in bytes.To run on a replica set member,
collStats
operations require the member to be inPRIMARY
orSECONDARY
state. If the member is in another state, such asSTARTUP2
, the operation errors.
