Mongodb replicaset availability

Ops and Admin Replication

Hey,
We have a 4 nodes replicaset with one primary node and 3 secondary nodes, and one more arbiter node.
Lately, we ran into an issue when the arbiter node was down for few minutes.
It seems that during that time there was a problem reading/write to the replicaset. Is that make sense? or maybe I configured something wrong

Thanks in advance

Hi @shachar.giladi - Welcome to the community.

We have a 4 nodes replicaset with one primary node and 3 secondary nodes, and one more arbiter node.

Do you mean a 5 node replicaset? (P,S,S,S,A)

Lately, we ran into an issue when the arbiter node was down for few minutes.
It seems that during that time there was a problem reading/write to the replicaset. Is that make sense? or maybe I configured something wrong

There’s not enough information here to definitively say what the issue is or could be resolved by. Can you provide more information including:

  1. Any error messages you were receiving
  2. Details of the “issue” (e.g. Writes stopped, reads stopped, etc) when the arbiter went down
  3. Output of rs.conf() with any hostnames anonymised.

Regards,
Jason
