Measures reported by MongoThroughputTest

The workload of a MongoDB server is best revealed by the count of requests to it. The impact of this workload on the network throughput of a Mongo server must be assessed to understand whether/not enough network resources are available to handle the current and future workload. This is exactly what the MongoThroughputTest test does! This test monitors the requests to a Mongo database server and reports the rate at which data is received and transmitted over the network by that server. In the process, the test indicates whether the server is rightly sized in terms of network resources or not.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the target Mongo Database server being monitored.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Request_rate Indicates the rate at which requests are processed by this server. Requests/sec A high value is desired for this measure.
Data_transmitted Indicates the rate at which data is transmitted by the server. MB/sec A high value is indicative of high bandwidth usage by the Mongo DB server.
Data_received Indicates the rate at which data is received by the server. MB/Sec
Diff_slow_dns Indicates the number of DNS resolution operations that occurred. Number  
Diff_slow_ssl Indicates the number of SSL handshake operations that occurred. Number
