mongotop Behavior, Access, and Usage
On this page
Behavior
Polling
The mongotop program uses the top
command to collect data. However, while top returns cumulative
usage statistics, mongotop resets the usage statistics for
each polling interval.
FIPS
mongotop automatically creates FIPS-compliant
connections to a mongod/mongos that is
configured to use FIPS mode.
Required Access
In order to connect to a mongod that enforces
authorization, the connecting user must have the
serverStatus and top privileges.
The built-in role clusterMonitor provides these privileges.
