Configuration of MongoWorkloadTest

This test tracks the load on the Mongo database server and reports what type of operations are contributing to the workload of the server. The test additionally reports the number of clients performing read and write operations on the server, so that you can figure out the count of clients that are generating the load on the MongoDB server. Capacity planning and clustering decisions can be taken based on insights provided by this test.

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.

• 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.
