Check the current number of connections to MongoDb

Question

What is the command to get the number of clients connected to a particular MongoDB server?

Answer 1

Connection Count by ClientIP, with Total

We use this to view the number of connections by IPAddress with a total connection count. This was really helpful in debugging an issue... just get there before hit max connections!

For Mongo Shell:

db.currentOp(true).inprog.reduce((accumulator, connection) => { ipaddress = connection.client ? connection.client.split(":")[0] : "Internal"; accumulator[ipaddress] = (accumulator[ipaddress] || 0) + 1; accumulator["TOTAL_CONNECTION_COUNT"]++; return accumulator; }, { TOTAL_CONNECTION_COUNT: 0 })

Formatted:

db.currentOp(true).inprog.reduce(
  (accumulator, connection) => {
    ipaddress = connection.client ? connection.client.split(":")[0] : "Internal";
    accumulator[ipaddress] = (accumulator[ipaddress] || 0) + 1;
    accumulator["TOTAL_CONNECTION_COUNT"]++;
    return accumulator;
  },
  { TOTAL_CONNECTION_COUNT: 0 }
)

Example return:

{
    "TOTAL_CONNECTION_COUNT" : 331,
    "192.168.253.72" : 8,
    "192.168.254.42" : 17,
    "127.0.0.1" : 3,
    "192.168.248.66" : 2,
    "11.178.12.244" : 2,
    "Internal" : 41,
    "3.100.12.33" : 86,
    "11.148.23.34" : 168,
    "81.127.34.11" : 1,
    "84.147.25.17" : 3
}

(the 192.x.x.x addresses at Atlas internal monitoring)

"Internal" are internal processes that don't have an external client. You can view a list of these with this:

db.currentOp(true).inprog.filter(connection => !connection.client).map(connection => connection.desc);
