Overview of this book

<p>MongoDB is a high-performance and feature-rich NoSQL database that forms the backbone of numerous complex development systems. You will certainly find the MongoDB solution you are searching for in this book.</p> <p>Starting with how to initialize the server in three different modes with various configurations, you will then learn a variety of skills including the basics of advanced query operations and features in MongoDB and monitoring and backup using MMS. From there, you can delve into recipes on cloud deployment, integration with Hadoop, and improving developer productivity. By the end of this book, you will have a clear idea about how to design, develop, and deploy MongoDB.</p>

Understanding the mongostat and mongotop utilities

Most of you might find these names similar to two popular Unix commands, iostat and top. For MongoDB, mongostat and mongotop are two utilities that do pretty much the same job as the two Unix commands, and there is no prize for guessing that these are used to monitor the Mongo instance.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will be simulating some operations on a standalone Mongo instance by running a script that will attempt to keep your server busy; then, in another terminal, we will be running these utilities to monitor the db instance.

You need to start a standalone server listening to any port for client connections; in this case, we will stick to the default 27017. In case you are not aware of how to start a standalone server, refer to the Single node installation of MongoDB recipe in Chapter 1, Installing and Starting the MongoDB Server. We also need to download the KeepServerBusy.js script from the book's website and keep it handy for execution...
