Monitoring MongoDB

Votes:

0

Hello!

We are running a cluster of MongoDB servers in our environment, and I am interested in monitoring the response time of an arbitrary query to make sure it stays within a normal range.

With a Microsoft SQL database, I can create a Microsoft SQL v2 sensor and look at the "Execution Time" and "Query Execution Time". Easy enough. How do I accomplish that with MongoDB?

I see there are no built in sensor types specifically built for MongoDB, but is there another way to do it? Has anyone done it before? Is there anything more or less pre-built that I can use?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Thank you for your message.

We actually did have a Mongo DB Health Sensor. We had to deprecate the sensor, as the interface that was used to request the system health data was discontinued by the Mongo DB project.

Also I cannot provide an alternative for this sensor type, I'm afraid.

Thank you for your understanding!

Kind regards,

Thanks for your reply!

Is it possible to create an EXE sensor, for example using powershell, and measuring query response time that way? How would one go about doing that?

Hi there,

Yes that would be the way to go. Something like this maybe: http://www.mikefal.net/2015/03/24/auditing-sql-execution-times-with-powershell/

In combination with PRTG's EXE Script Sensor, please find more information within the following links: https://www.paessler.com/manuals/prtg/exe_script_sensor https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/71356-guide-for-powershell-based-custom-sensors#reply-238210

Thank you for your understanding that we cannot support custom scripts.

Kind regards,
