A list of indices in MongoDB?

Question

Is there a way to see a list of indices on a collection in mongodb in shell? i read through http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Indexes but i dont see anything

Answer 1

If you want to list all indexes:

db.getCollectionNames().forEach(function(collection) {
   indexes = db.getCollection(collection).getIndexes();
   print("Indexes for " + collection + ":");
   printjson(indexes);
});
