Optimize your MongoDB database using best practices guidance

Optimize your MongoDB database using best practices guidance

MongoDB optimization can be a complex process requiring a detailed understanding of your MongoDB environment and established best practices. DPM is built to help you check current configurations against best practices in your MongoDB operating system, database instances, and replica sets, so you can more easily identify inconsistencies based on official MongoDB documentation and find opportunities to improve database performance in operating areas like:

  • MongoDB and OS configuration – Identify if best practices are used for virtual memory pages, journaling, swap space, keepalive time, and more
  • MongoDB replication configuration – Check best practices for configuring replica set members, number of cluster voting members, and allocated votes

Expert advice about following best practices can help you more easily identify which metrics are important to track, evaluate performance, and troubleshoot issues unique to MongoDB more quickly. By enabling query samples, you can also have DPM send proactive alerts about possible query-writing and index optimizations to help you more easily improve database performance.

Identify vulnerabilities and mitigate risks

Identify vulnerabilities and mitigate risks

In addition to checking OS and database instances for settings inconsistent with established best practices, DPM can check if MongoDB security configurations follow best practices to help you more easily identify settings that can lead to potential vulnerabilities and provide ongoing compliance status updates.

MongoDB security checks in DPM can help you understand whether best practices were followed when configuring:

  • Role-based access control
  • At-rest encryption
  • Network exposure
  • JavaScript

  • What is a MongoDB database?

    MongoDB is a type of NoSQL database built to allow for large, flexible data storage and retrieval. With a cloud-based database infrastructure, MongoDB can be an effective platform for large organizations, serving the niche of a scalable database that can execute complex data retrieval and store large amounts of data.

  • How is MongoDB different from SQL?

    Different enterprises require different database systems. Many businesses use a relational SQL database server, which can include database management systems like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite. SQL databases operate with a fixed schema of data, with data retrieval from static rows and columns within your database. SQL databases are commonly used database systems due to their ease of operation, and their efficiency in executing queries without a complicated retrieval process.

    A NoSQL database system, like MongoDB, offers an alternative to SQL relational databases. NoSQL databases are often used by larger enterprises that require queries to retrieve data from multiple, complex data tables in a quick timeframe. The idea of NoSQL databases is to consolidate large amounts of data using a document-oriented approach.

  • How to improve database performance issues using MongoDB monitoring software

    Manually analyzing and troubleshooting database operations can be a time-consuming task. Using a MongoDB cloud monitoring solution can help you keep track of MongoDB metrics in a more organized, efficient way. Since MongoDB is designed for large and complex data storage and retrieval, MongoDB performance monitoring software is built to allow you to keep track of MongoDB metrics and understand analytics more easily.

    Once you configure your MongoDB performance monitoring tool, you can establish thresholds to identify unacceptable performance metrics more easily. If a metric breaches its threshold, a MongoDB monitoring tool can provide alerts in real time and help you identify performance issues as soon as they arise. To address bottlenecks quickly, performing regular MongoDB health checks using a monitoring solution can help you understand if there are existing or potential issues in your database. If the MongoDB health check identifies a value that exceeds an acceptable threshold, using a monitoring tool can help you more easily spot, assess, and troubleshoot MongoDB performance issues as quickly as possible with features like database analytics and graphical analysis.

  • What are key MongoDB performance metrics?

    Your MongoDB database allows for cloud-based data storage and retrieval for large, complex operations. As a result of MongoDB’s complexity, MongoDB cloud monitoring tools can collect a diverse variety of performance metrics. From a centralized dashboard, your MongoDB monitoring software can organize these metrics into intuitive dashboards for ease of access.

    Some of the most important metrics to track when monitoring MongoDB include:

    • CPU usage: CPU availability and usage within your MongoDB infrastructure.
    • Disk read/write: Read/write data on the MongoDB server disk, using metrics from the mongod process.
    • Memory: Memory usage and availability within your MongoDB server.
    • Network use: Throughput, bandwidth, connectivity, and other network availability statistics within your MongoDB network.
    • Replication: The type and details of replications within your MongoDB database during each mongod instance.
    • Outgoing connections: The status of outgoing connections in your current MongoDB instance, and any open connections.
    • Other mongod instance metrics: Collecting metrics from mongod instances, including journaling data, mongod instance status, and other instance statistics.

    Since MongoDB cloud monitoring can provide a bird’s-eye view of your expansive MongoDB server, your MongoDB monitoring tool should also provide a wide range of monitoring metrics. A user-friendly monitoring dashboard, complete with streamlined analytics, is the key to making MongoDB management manageable.

  • How does MongoDB monitoring work in DPM?
