Default Parameters for MongoGlLockWaitTest

This test monitors the current global lock queue of a Mongo database server and reports the total count of requests in the queue. Additionally, the test also reports how many of these enqueued requests are read requests and how many are write requests. This way, the test indicates whether/not locks are released and granted to new requests in a timely manner. Locking inefficiencies are thus revealed. In addition, the test also indicates what type of requests the server is blocking more - read requests? or write requests? From this, administrators can figure out what type of lock currently exists on the server being monitored - read lock? or write lock?

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for MongoGlLockWaitTest.

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

  • 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.

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

When changing default configurations of tests, the values with "$" indicate variables that will be replaced by the eG system according to the specific server being managed - for instance, $hostName is the host/nickname of the target host, $port is the port number of the server being monitored. E.g., for a server xyz:80, $hostName will be changed automatically by the eG manager to "xyz" and $port will be changed to "80" when configuring a test.
