Definition

setParameter

setParameter is an administrative command for modifying options normally set on the command line. You must issue the setParameter command against the admin database.

Syntax

db.adminCommand(
   {
     setParameter: 1,
     <parameter>: <value>
   }
)

For the available parameters, including examples, see MongoDB Server Parameters.

Behavior

Persistence

Commands issued by the admin command setParameter do not survive server restarts. For a persistent option use the --setParameter command line option or the setParameter configuration file setting.

Stable API

When using Stable API V1 with apiStrict set to true, you cannot use setParameter to modify server parameters.
