This guide shows you how to use the Go driver to monitor the outcome of commands that the driver sends to your MongoDB deployment.

You might use information about command events in your application to understand changes in query performance or resolve bottlenecks.

You can access details about command events by subscribing to them in your application. The following example demonstrates how to subscribe to the CommandStartedEvent event by instantiating a CommandMonitor and connecting to a deployment:

var eventArray []*event.CommandStartedEvent
cmdMonitor := &event.CommandMonitor{
Started: func(ctx context.Context, e *event.CommandStartedEvent) {
eventArray = append(eventArray, e)
},
}
clientOpts := options.Client().ApplyURI(uri).SetMonitor(cmdMonitor)
client, err := mongo.Connect(clientOpts)

You can subscribe to one or more of the following command monitoring events:

Event Name
Description
CommandStartedEvent
Created when a command starts.
CommandSucceededEvent
Created when a command succeeds.
CommandFailedEvent
Created when a command does not succeed.

The following sections show sample output for each type of command monitoring event.

*event.CommandStartedEvent
{
"Command": "...",
"DatabaseName": "...",
"CommandName": "...",
"RequestID": ...,
"ConnectionID": "...",
"ServerConnectionID": ...,
"ServiceID": "..."
}
*event.CommandSucceededEvent
{
"DurationNanos": 38717583,
"Duration": 38717583,
"CommandName": "insert",
"RequestID": 13,
"ConnectionID": "...",
"ServerConnectionID": ...,
"ServiceID": null,
"Reply": "..."
}
*event.CommandFailedEvent
{
"DurationNanos": 38717583,
"Duration": 38717583,
"CommandName": "insert",
"RequestID": 13,
"ConnectionID": "...",
"ServerConnectionID": ...,
"ServiceID": null,
"Failure": "..."
}
