MongoDB offers several performance metrics that are crucial for troubleshooting query performance issues. Here are the key metrics used in MongoDB query performance troubleshooting:
Query Execution Metrics
- Query Targeting: This metric helps identify if queries are using indexes effectively[2].
- Execution Time: Measures the latency of read and write operations. Read operations taking more than 100ms are generally considered slow[3].
- Scanned vs. Returned Ratio: Indicates how many documents were scanned to return the result set. A high ratio suggests inefficient queries or missing indexes[4].
Resource Utilization Metrics
- CPU Utilization: High CPU usage can indicate complex queries or insufficient indexing[2].
- Memory Utilization: Monitors the usage of RAM, which is crucial for caching frequently accessed data[2].
- Storage Metrics: Tracks disk I/O and storage capacity[2].
Database Operation Metrics
- Operation Counts: Tracks the number of insert, query, update, and delete operations per second[3].
- Connections: Monitors the number of active client connections[3].
Index Performance Metrics
- Index Usage: Measures how frequently indexes are used in queries[1].
- Index Size: Tracks the size of indexes, which can impact write performance if too large[4].
Replication Metrics
- Replication Lag: Measures the delay between operations on the primary and their replication to secondaries[4].
Cache Performance
- Cache Hit Ratio: Indicates how often requested data is found in memory cache versus disk[9].
- Dirty Cache Percentage: Shows the proportion of modified data in the cache waiting to be written to disk[9].
Latency Metrics
- Read Latency: Measures the time taken for read operations[11].
- Write Latency: Tracks the duration of write operations[11].
Profiler Metrics
- Slow Query Log: Captures queries that exceed a specified execution time threshold[6].
- Query Shapes: Provides information on common query patterns and their performance[6].
By monitoring these metrics, database administrators can identify performance bottlenecks, optimize query execution, and ensure efficient resource allocation for MongoDB deployments.
