$currentOp (aggregation)

Definition

$currentOp

Returns a stream of documents containing information on active and/or dormant operations as well as inactive sessions that are holding locks as part of a transaction. The stage returns a document for each operation or session. To run $currentOp, use the db.aggregate() helper on the admin database.

The $currentOp aggregation stage is preferred over the currentOp command and its mongosh helper method db.currentOp(). Because the currentOp command and db.currentOp() helper method return the results in a single document, the total size of the currentOp result set is subject to the maximum 16MB BSON size limit for documents. The $currentOp stage returns a cursor over a stream of documents, each of which reports a single operation. Each operation document is subject to the 16MB BSON limit, but unlike the currentOp command, there is no limit on the overall size of the result set.

$currentOp also enables you to perform arbitrary transformations of the results as the documents pass through the pipeline.

{ $currentOp: { allUsers: <boolean>, idleConnections: <boolean>, idleCursors: <boolean>, idleSessions: <boolean>, localOps: <boolean> } }

{ $currentOp: { } }

Constraints

Example

The following example returns information on inactive sessions that are holding locks as part of a transaction. Specifically:

• The first stage returns documents for all active operations as well as inactive sessions that are holding locks as part of a transaction.

• The second stage filters for just those documents related to inactive sessions that are holding locks as part of a transaction.

db.getSiblingDB("admin").aggregate( [
   { $currentOp : { allUsers: true, idleSessions: true } },
   { $match : { active: false, transaction : { $exists: true } } }
] )

Starting in version 4.2, you can use $currentOp.type to specify an equivalent filter:

db.getSiblingDB("admin").aggregate( [
   { $currentOp : { allUsers: true, idleSessions: true } },
   { $match : { type: "idleSession" } }
] )

Both operations return documents of the form:

   "desc" : "inactive transaction",
   "client" : "198.51.100.1:50428",

Output Fields

Each output document may contain a subset of the following fields as relevant for the operation:

$currentOp.type

New in version 4.2.

The type of operation. Values are either:

• op

• idleSession

• idleCursor

If the $currentOp.type is op, $currentOp.op provides details on the specific operation.

$currentOp.host

The name of the host against which the operation is run.

$currentOp.shard

The name of the shard where the operation is running.

Only present for sharded clusters.

$currentOp.desc

A description of the operation.

$currentOp.connectionId

An identifier for the connection where the specific operation originated.

$currentOp.client

The IP address (or hostname) and the ephemeral port of the client connection where the operation originates.

For multi-document transactions, $currentOp.client stores information about the most recent client to run an operation inside the transaction.

For standalones and replica sets only

$currentOp.client_s

The IP address (or hostname) and the ephemeral port of the mongos where the operation originates.

For sharded clusters only

$currentOp.clientMetadata

Additional information on the client.

For multi-document transactions, $currentOp.client stores information about the most recent client to run an operation inside the transaction.

$currentOp.appName

The identifier of the client application which ran the operation. Use the appName connection string option to set a custom value for the appName field.

$currentOp.active

A boolean value specifying whether the operation has started. Value is true if the operation has started or false if the operation is idle, such as an idle connection, an inactive session, or an internal thread that is currently idle. An operation can be active even if the operation has yielded to another operation.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator

Information on either:

• The commit coordination metrics for a transaction whose write operations span multiple shards.

  Commit coordination is handled by a shard, and $currentOp (run either on a mongos or a shard member) returns a shard's coordination information only for those transactions currently being coordinated by that shard.

  To filter for just the commit coordination metrics:

  db.getSiblingDB("admin").aggregate( [
      { $currentOp: { allUsers: true, idleSessions: true } },
      { $match: { desc: "transaction coordinator" } }
  ] )

• A specific commit coordination operation (i.e. type is op and desc is "TransactionCoordinator") spawned by the transaction coordinator.

Note

• If run with idleSessions: false, $currentOp does not return the $currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator information in inactive state

• If access control is enabled and allUsers: false, $currentOp does not return $currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator information.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.lsid

The session identifier for the multi-shard transaction.

The combination of the lsid and txnNumber identifies the transaction.

Available for both the commit coordination metrics and for specific coordination operation.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.txnNumber

The transaction number for the multi-shard transaction.

The combination of the txnNumber and lsid identifies the transaction.

Available for both the commit coordination metrics and for specific coordination operation.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.action

The specific commit coordination operation spawned by the transaction coordinator:

• "sendingPrepare"

• "sendingCommit"

• "sendingAbort"

• "writingParticipantList"

• "writingDecision"

• "deletingCoordinatorDoc"

Only available for specific coordination operation.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.startTime

The start date and time of the action.

Only available for specific coordination operation.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.numParticipants

Number of shards participating in this commit.

Only available for the commit coordination metrics.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.state

The current step/state of the commit coordination process.

Step/stage	Description
inactive	Not actively part of a commit.
writingParticipantList	Writing a local record of the list of shards that are part of this multi-shard transaction.
waitingForVotes	Waiting for the participants to respond with vote to commit or abort.
writingDecision	Writing a local record of the coordinator's decision to commit or abort based on votes.
waitingForDecisionAck	Waiting for participants to acknowledge the coordinator's decision to commit or abort.
deletingCoordinatorDoc	Deleting the local record of commit decision.

Only available for the commit coordination metrics.

See also $currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.stepDurations.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.commitStartTime

The date and time when the commit started.

Only available for the commit coordination metrics.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.hasRecoveredFromFailover

A boolean that indicates whether the commit coordination was restarted due to failover on the shard that is coordinating the commit.

If hasRecoveredFromFailover is true, then the times specified in $currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.stepDurations may not be accurate for all steps.

Only available for the commit coordination metrics.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.stepDurations

A document that contains the duration, in microseconds, of the completed or in-progress steps/state of the active process as well as the cumulative total duration; for example:

"stepDurations" : {
   "writingParticipantListMicros" : NumberLong(17801),
   "totalCommitDurationMicros" : NumberLong(42488463),
   "waitingForVotesMicros" : NumberLong(30378502),
   "writingDecisionMicros" : NumberLong(15015),
   "waitingForDecisionAcksMicros" : NumberLong(12077145),
   "deletingCoordinatorDocMicros" : NumberLong(6009)
},

If $currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.hasRecoveredFromFailover is true, then the times specified in stepDurations may not be accurate for all steps.

For a coordinator in an inactive state, the document is empty:

"stepDurations" : {
}

Only available for the commit coordination metrics.

See $currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.state.

$currentOp.twoPhaseCommitCoordinator.decision

A document that contains the commit/abort decision, for example:

• For a commmit decision:

  "decision" : {
     "decision" : "commit",

  }

• For an abort decision:

  "decision" : {
     "decision" : "abort",
     "abortStatus" : {
        "code" : 282,
        "codeName" : "TransactionCoordinatorReachedAbortDecision",
        "errmsg" : "Transaction exceeded deadline"
     }

$currentOp.effectiveUsers

An array that contains a document for each user associated with the operation. Each user document contains the user name and the authentication db.

New in version 4.2.

Tip

See also:

$currentOp.runBy

$currentOp.runBy

An array that contains a document for each user who is impersonating the effectiveUser(s) for the operation. The runBy document contains the user name and the authentication db. In general, the impersonating user is the __system user; e.g.

"runBy" : [
   {
      "user" : "__system",
      "db" : "local"
   }
]

New in version 4.2.

$currentOp.opid

The identifier for the operation. You can pass this value to db.killOp() in mongosh to terminate the operation.

Warning

Terminate running operations with extreme caution. Only use db.killOp() to terminate operations initiated by clients and do not terminate internal database operations.

$currentOp.secs_running

The duration of the operation in seconds. MongoDB calculates this value by subtracting the current time from the start time of the operation.

Only present if the operation is running; i.e. if active is true.

$currentOp.microsecs_running

The duration of the operation in microseconds. MongoDB calculates this value by subtracting the current time from the start time of the operation.

Only present if the operation is running; i.e. if active is true.

$currentOp.lsid

The session identifier.

Only present if the operation is associated with a session.

$currentOp.transaction

A document that contains multi-document transaction information.

Only present if the operation is part of a transaction:

• On a replica set.

• On a sharded cluster if $currentOp is run without localOps:true. The transaction information is per shard.

• On a sharded cluster if $currentOp is run with localOps:true. The transaction information is a composite view rather than per shard.

$currentOp.transaction.parameters

A document that contains information on multi-document transaction.

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.transaction.parameters.txnNumber

The transaction number.

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.transaction.parameters.autocommit

A boolean flag that indicates if autocommit is on for the transaction.

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.transaction.parameters.readConcern

The read concern for the transaction.

Multi-document transactions support read concern "snapshot", "local", and "majority".

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.transaction.globalReadTimestamp

The timestamp of the snapshot read by the operations in the sharded cluster transaction that uses "snapshot" read concern. For transactions on sharded clusters, the read concern "snapshot" of the data is synchronized across shards; i.e. other read concerns cannot guarantee that the data is from the same snapshot view across the shards.

Only present when run with localOps: true for sharded cluster transactions.

$currentOp.transaction.readTimestamp

The timestamp of the snapshot being read by the operations in this transaction

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction. However, the field is not returned if:

• the transaction is on a sharded cluster and uses "snapshot" read concern, and

• $currentOp is run with localOps: true.

Instead, $currentOp.transaction.globalReadTimestamp is returned.

$currentOp.transaction.startWallClockTime

The date and time (with time zone) of the transaction start.

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.transaction.timeOpenMicros

The duration, in microseconds, for the transaction.

The timeActiveMicros value added to the timeInactiveMicros should equal the timeOpenMicros.

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.transaction.timeActiveMicros

The total amount of time that the transaction has been active; i.e. when the transaction had operations running.

The timeActiveMicros value added to the timeInactiveMicros should equal the timeOpenMicros.

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.transaction.timeInactiveMicros

The total amount of time that the transaction has been inactive; i.e. when the transaction had no operations running.

The timeInactiveMicros value added to the timeActiveMicros should equal the timeOpenMicros.

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.transaction.numParticipants

Number of shards participating in this transaction.

Only present if the operation is part of a transaction on a sharded cluster and $currentOp is run with localOps: true

$currentOp.transaction.participants

An array of documents detailing the participating shardas in this transaction. Each document contains the name, a flag indicating if the shard acts as the commit coordinator, and a flag indicating if the shard is only involved in read operations for the transaction.

{
   "name" : "shardA",
   "coordinator" : false,
   "readOnly" : false
}

Only present if the operation is part of a transaction on a sharded cluster and $currentOp is run with localOps: true

$currentOp.transaction.numReadOnlyParticipants

Number of shards only affected by read operations in this transaction.

Only present if the operation is part of a transaction on a sharded cluster and $currentOp is run with localOps: true

$currentOp.transaction.numNonReadOnlyParticipants

Number of shards affected by operations other than reads in this transaction.

Only present if the operation is part of a transaction on a sharded cluster and $currentOp is run with localOps: true

$currentOp.transaction.expiryTime

The date and time (with time zone) when the transaction will time out and abort.

The $currentOp.transaction.expiryTime equals the $currentOp.transaction.startWallClockTime + the transactionLifetimeLimitSeconds.

For more information, seee Runtime Limit for transactions.

Only present if the operation is part of a multi-document transaction.

$currentOp.op

A string that identifies the specific operation type. Only present if $currentOp.type is op.

The possible values are:

• "none"

• "update"

• "insert"

• "query"

• "command"

• "getmore"

• "remove"

• "killcursors"

"command" operations include most commands such as the createIndexes, aggregate, and findAndModify.

"query" operations include find operations and OP_QUERY operations.

$currentOp.ns

The namespace the operation targets. A namespace consists of the database name and the collection name concatenated with a dot (.); that is, "<database>.<collection>".

$currentOp.command

A document containing the full command object associated with this operation.

For example, the following output contains the command object for a find operation on a collection named items in a database named test:

"command" : {
  "find" : "items",
  "filter" : {
    "sku" : 1403978
  },
  ...
  "$db" : "test"
}

The following example output contains the command object for a getMore operation generated by a command with cursor ID 19234103609 on a collection named items in a database named test:

"command" : {
    "getMore" : NumberLong("19234103609"),
    "collection" : "items",
    "batchSize" : 10,
    ...
    "$db" : "test"
},

If the command document exceeds 1 kilobyte, the document has the following form:

"command" : {
  "$truncated": <string>,
  "comment": <string>
}

The $truncated field contains a string summary of the document excluding the document's comment field if present. If the summary still exceeds 1 kilobyte then it is further truncated, denoted by an ellipsis (...) at the end of the string.

The comment field is present if a comment was passed to the operation. A comment may be attached to any database command.

$currentOp.cursor

New in version 4.2.

A document that contains the cursor information for idleCursor and getmore operations; i.e. where type is idleCursor or op is getmore.

If reporting on a getmore operation before the getmore has accessed its cursor information, the cursor field is not available.

New in version 4.2.

The date and time when the cursor was created.

$currentOp.cursor.lastAccessDate

New in version 4.2.

The date and time when the cursor was last used.

If the cursor is actively in use (i.e. op is getmore and the type is not idleCursor), then lastAccessDate reports either the time the previous getmore ended or the time the cursor was created if this is the first getmore.

$currentOp.cursor.nDocsReturned

Tip

See also:

• find

• cursor.tailable()

• cursor.addOption()

$currentOp.cursor.awaitData

New in version 4.2.

The flag that indicates whether the tailable cursor should temporarily block a getMore command on the cursor while waiting for new data rather than returning no data.

For non-tailable cursors, the value is always false.

Tip

See also:

• find

• cursor.tailable()

• cursor.addOption()

   "captureName" : "FutureResolution",
   "backtrace" : [ ]   // Only if backtrace: true
},

Output Field	Description
