mongosh Method

This page documents a mongosh method. This is not the documentation for a language-specific driver, such as Node.js.

For MongoDB API drivers, refer to the language-specific MongoDB driver documentation.

db.getMongo()
Returns:The current database connection.

db.getMongo() runs when the shell initiates. Use this command to test that mongosh has a connection to the proper database instance.

Note

The legacy mongo shell has a sub-command, db.getMongo().setSecondaryOk(), which is not available in mongosh. In mongosh, use Mongo.setReadPref() instead.

This method is available in deployments hosted in the following environments:

  • MongoDB Atlas: The fully managed service for MongoDB deployments in the cloud

Note

This command is supported in all MongoDB Atlas clusters. For information on Atlas support for all commands, see Unsupported Commands.
