mongostat Behavior, Access, and Usage
On this page
Behavior
FIPS
mongostat 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
with the --auth option, specify the
--username and --password options, and the connecting user must have the
serverStatus privilege action on the cluster resources.
Important
Starting in MongoDB 8.0, to use mongostat to connect to a
sharded cluster, the user must also have the
directShardOperations role.
The built-in role clusterMonitor provides the
serverStatus privilege as well as other
privileges. To create a role with just the privilege to run
mongostat, see Create a Role to Run mongostat.
