How it works

Context

By default, the mongodb_metrics source augments events with helpful context keys.

MongoDB serverStatus command

The serverStatus command returns a document that provides an overview of the database’s state. The output fields vary depending on the version of MongoDB, underlying operating system platform, the storage engine, and the kind of node, including mongos, mongod or replica set member.

State

This component is stateless, meaning its behavior is consistent across each input.
