Definition

connPoolStats

The command connPoolStats returns information regarding the open outgoing connections from the current database instance to other members of the sharded cluster or replica set.

To run connPoolStats, use the db.runCommand( { <command> } ) method.

Note

connPoolStats only returns meaningful results for mongos instances and for mongod instances in sharded clusters.

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

db.runCommand(
   {
     connPoolStats: 1
   }
)

The value of the argument (i.e. 1 ) does not affect the output of the command.

Behavior

connPoolStats includes aggregated statistics in its output:

  • The hosts field displays the information aggregated by host.

  • The pools field displays the information aggregated by pool.

Note

To avoid interference with any running operations, connPoolStats does not take any locks. As such, the counts may change slightly as connPoolStats gathers information, resulting in slight differences between the hosts and pools connection counts.

Example

The following operation uses the db.runCommand() method to run the connPoolStats command on a mongos of a sharded cluster. The sharded cluster has 2 shards, each a single-member replica set, and a config server replica set. The mongos runs on a 4-core machine.

db.runCommand( { "connPoolStats" : 1 } )

The command returns the output of the following form:

Note

The connPoolStats output varies depending on the deployment and the member against which you run connPoolStats among other factors.

Output

connPoolStats.totalAvailable

Reports the total number of available outgoing connections from the current mongod / mongos instance to other members of the sharded cluster or replica set.

connPoolStats.totalCreated

Reports the total number of outgoing connections ever created by the current mongod / mongos instance to other members of the sharded cluster or replica set.

connPoolStats.totalInUse

Reports the total number of outgoing connections from the current mongod / mongos instance to other members of the sharded cluster or replica set that are currently in use.

connPoolStats.totalRefreshing

Reports the total number of outgoing connections from the current mongod / mongos instance to other members of the sharded cluster or replica set that are currently being refreshed.

connPoolStats.totalWasNeverUsed

Reports the total number of outgoing connections from the current mongod / mongos instance to other members of the sharded cluster or replica set that were closed having never been used.

connPoolStats.replicaSetMatchingStrategy

New in version 5.0: (Also available starting in 4.4.5 and 4.2.13)

On a mongos instance, this value reports the policy used by the instance to determine the minimum size limit of its connection pools to nodes within replica sets.

On a mongod instance, this value reports the policy used by the instance to determine the minimum size limit of its connection pools to nodes within other replica sets.

The policy for mongos and mongod can be set with the ShardingTaskExecutorPoolReplicaSetMatching parameter.

Note

If the ShardingTaskExecutorPoolReplicaSetMatching is set to "automatic", the replicaSetMatchingStrategy still describes the actual policy being used, not "automatic". To find the value of the ShardingTaskExecutorPoolReplicaSetMatching, use getParameter which returns the value of the server parameter:

db.adminCommand( { getParameter : 1, "ShardingTaskExecutorPoolReplicaSetMatching" : 1 } )
connPoolStats.acquisitionWaitTimes

New in version 6.3.

Document reports a histogram with the wait times for requests to acquire a connection from mongos to mongod:

  • The document contains time ranges in milliseconds and the number of connection requests in each range.

  • -inf is negative infinity and connection requests in the range (-inf, 0ms) did not wait.

  • inf is positive infinity and connection requests in the range [1000ms, inf) waited a time greater than or equal to 1,000 milliseconds.

  • totalCount is the total number of connection requests for all time ranges.

connPoolStats.numClientConnection

Reports the number of active and stored outgoing synchronous connections from the current mongod / mongos instance to other members of the sharded cluster or replica set.

These connections are a part of a pool that is a subset of the data reported by totalAvailable, totalCreated, and totalInUse.

connPoolStats.numAScopedConnection

Reports the number of active and stored outgoing scoped synchronous connections from the current mongod / mongos instance to other members of the sharded cluster or replica set.

These connections are a part of a pool that is a subset of the data reported by totalAvailable, totalCreated, and totalInUse.

connPoolStats.pools

Reports on connection statistics (in use/available/created/refreshing) grouped by the connection pools. A mongod or mongos has two distinct families of outgoing connection pools:

  • DBClient-based pools (the "write path") and

  • NetworkInterfaceTL-based pools (the "read path").

For each pool, the command returns a document that resembles the following:

{
  "poolInUse" : <num>,
  "poolAvailable" : <num>,
  "poolCreated" : <num>,
  "poolRefreshing" : <num>,
  "acquisitionWaitTimes" : <document>,  // Added in MongoDB 6.3
  "[host1]" : {
     "inUse" : <num>, "available" : <num>, "created" : <num>, "refreshing" : <num>,
     "acquisitionWaitTimes" : <document>  // Added in MongoDB 6.3
  },
  "[host2]" : {
     "inUse" : <num>, "available" : <num>, "created" : <num>, "refreshing" : <num>,
     "acquisitionWaitTimes" : <document>  // Added in MongoDB 6.3
  },
  ...
}

Note

If there are no connections (in use/available/created/refreshing) for a particular pool, the connPoolStats does not return statistics for that pool.

connPoolStats.pools.NetworkInterfaceTL-TaskExecutorPool-[n]

Displays connection statics related to TaskExecutor pools. Typically, there will be one TaskExecutorPool per core, e.g. pools.NetworkInterfaceTL-TaskExecutorPool-0 ... pools.NetworkInterfaceTL-TaskExecutorPool-7 for an 8-core processor.
