Configuration of MongoLargeCollTest

This test auto-discovers the databases on a target MongoDB server and reports the number of collections that exceed a configured size. Detailed diagnostics of this test lists the large collections.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the Mongo database server for which this test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specify the port number through which the Mongo database server communicates. By default, this is 27107.

• The test connects to a specific Mongo database to run API commands and pull metrics of interest. Specify the name of this database in the DATABASE NAME text box. The default value of this parameter is admin.

• This test counts all those collections that are of a size larger than the value specified here as large collections. By default, the COLLECTION SIZE IN GB parameter is set to 10 GB. This means that by default, those collections that are over 10 GB in size will be counted as a large collection by this test. You can change this value, if required.

• To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise suite embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.
  
  The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:
  
  

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.

  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

• If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS check box will appear in this page. Clicking on this check box will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

• Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$“ or contain a series of “*”. A value of "none" in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
