We add several server monitoring and diagnostics tools and consolidate all monitoring related work into a drop-down menu called "Monitoring".

Visual Explain Plan

NoSQLBooster's Visual Explain transforms explain output into a hierarchical view of the query plan, which is significantly easier to read and understand, allowing for query tuning to enhance query and resolve performance issues.

In-progress Operations Viewer

When your MongoDB is unresponsive, you need to determine the cause quickly. Although there can be many causes for server unresponsiveness, we sometimes find that exceptionally long-running operations and/or blocking operations are the culprits. The new "In-progress operations" tool integrates the currentOp() and killOp() commands and allows you to find and kill long-running MongoDB operations quickly.

The db.currentOp() command reports in-progress operations for the mongod instance.

Database Profiler

This simple feature will display the database profiler logs information about database operations in "system.profile" collection. The profiler is off by default. You can enable the profiler on a per-database or per-instance basis at one of several profiling levels. By default, the slow operation threshold is 100 milliseconds.

MongoDB Log Parser

This feature includes two MongoDB log viewers, one for parsing and displaying the most recent 1024 logged MongoD events, and the other for parsing and displaying external MongoDB log files. This tool will parse the log quickly and output general information about its contents, including timestamp, severity, component, context, and command-specific messages. It also allows you to save parsed log entries to MongoDB's collection so that you can further analyze and query the logs using MongoDB's find method.

Server Real-Time Status (mongostat)

The mongostat utility provides a quick overview of the status of a currently running mongod or mongos instance. mongostat is functionally similar to the UNIX/Linux file system utility vmstat, but provides data regarding mongod and mongos instances.

NoSQLBooster offers a built-in GUI tool for mongostat too. No external mongostat command-line tools dependence. The tool shows live updates of events that occur on a MongoDB instance in both a chart and a table.

GUI for mongotop

For MongoDB, mongotop does pretty much the same job as the Unix command top; it is used to monitor the Mongo instance. The output of mongotop indicates the amount of time the mongod process spends reading and writing to a specific collection during the update interval. mongotop provides statistics on a per-collection level.

NoSQLBooster for MongoDB offers a built-in GUI tool for mongotop. No external mongotop command-line tools dependence.

Troubleshoot Replica Sets

This feature is a partial implementation of each of the functions mentioned in this official document for MongoDB - Troubleshoot Replica Sets.

It includes the following small features.

  • Check Replica Set Status
  • Check the Replication Lag
  • Check the Size of the Oplog
  • Check and fix Oplog Entry Timestamp Error
