MongoDB Administration
Notes on the "Administration" presentation at Mongo SFmongo uses stdout very heavily Use netstat to tell how many open connections have been made to the database Try out the shell mongod --fork = runs as a forked server to backup the database, fsync + lock could be better: http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/fsync+Command Please use replication delayed replication lets you replicate hours behinds iostat - x 2 - to look at disk io by default mongo listens on 208017 webconsole tells you how long things are going to take db.serverstatus gives you all mongostat information monitoring for mongo: munin / ganglia / nagios / cacti db.help() shows database commands
- Mongo runs on almost every platform
- Tools
- mongod - database server (e.g. mysqld)
- mongo - shell (e.g. mysql)
- Tries to make the logs really useful - verbosity level can be set 0-10
