MongoDB Package Components¶
On this page
Core Processes¶
The core components in the MongoDB package are: mongod,
the core database process; mongos the controller and query
router for sharded clusters; and
mongo the interactive MongoDB Shell.
Windows Services¶
The mongod.exe and mongos.exe describe the
options available for configuring MongoDB when running as a Windows
Service. The mongod.exe and mongos.exe binaries
provide a superset of the mongod and mongos
options.
Binary Import and Export Tools¶
mongodump provides a method for creating BSON
dump files from the mongod instances, while
mongorestore makes it possible to restore these
dumps. bsondump converts BSON dump files into
JSON.
Deprecated since version 3.2: mongooplog
Data Import and Export Tools¶
mongoimport provides a method for taking data in JSON,
CSV, or TSV and importing it into a mongod
instance. mongoexport provides a method to export data from
a mongod instance into JSON, CSV, or TSV.
Note
The conversion between BSON and other formats lacks full
type fidelity. Therefore you cannot use mongoimport and
mongoexport for round-trip import and export operations.
Diagnostic Tools¶
mongostat and mongotop
provide diagnostic information related to the current operation of a
mongod instance.
mongoreplay is a traffic capture and replay tool for MongoDB
that you can use to inspect and record commands sent to a MongoDB
instance, and then replay those commands back onto another host at a
later time.
MongoDB 3.4 provides mongoldap for testing native operating system
LDAP configuration options against a running LDAP server or set of servers.
