Host measurements provide data on the state of the MongoDB process. The Monitoring collects host measurements through the MongoDB serverStatus and dbStats commands.

System and process measurements provide data on the CPU usage of the hosts that run MongoDB. The Automation collects these measurements. System and process measurements require Cloud Manager Automation.

This endpoint returns these Measurement Types.

Note

To calculate some metric series, Cloud Manager takes the rate between every two adjacent points. For these metric series, the first data point has a null value because Cloud Manager can't calculate a rate for the first data point given the query time range.

Resource

GET /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/hosts/{HOST-ID}/measurements?granularity={ISO-8601-PERIOD}&period={ISO-8601-PERIOD}

Request Path Parameters

Name
Type
Description

PROJECT-ID

string

Unique identifier of the project that owns the host.

HOST-ID

string

Unique identifier of the host that serves the MongoDB process.

Request Query Parameters

Unique Query Parameters

This endpoint accepts the following query parameters to filter returned measurements:

Name
Type
Description
granularity
Required

string

Duration in ISO 8601 notation that specifies the interval between measurement data points.

Measurement granularity can be expressed as days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds using the following notation:

P (for period) followed by:

  • D for days (if desired)

  • T for time (after days)

  • H for hours

  • M for minutes

  • S for seconds

For example:

Notation
Duration

PT30S

30 seconds

P1T12H

1 day, 12 hours

PT0.5S

500 milliseconds

period

string

Duration in ISO 8601 notation that specifies how far back in the past to retrieve measurements.

For example, to request the last 36 hours, include this query parameter: period=P1DT12H.

start

string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC for the beginning of the period for which to retrieve measurements. If you specify start you must also specify end and you can't specify period.

end

string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC for the end of the period for which to retrieve measurements. If you specify end you must also specify start and you can't specify period.

m

string

Measurements to return. If m is not specified, all measurements are returned.

To specify multiple values for m, you must repeat the m parameter.

For example:

../measurements?m=CONNECTIONS&m=OPCOUNTER_CMD&m=OPCOUNTER_QUERY

You must specify measurements that are valid for the host. Cloud Manager returns an error if any specified measurements are invalid For available measurements, see Measurement Types.

Note

Each measurement request must include either the period query parameter or both the start and end query parameters.

Common Query Parameters

This endpoint also accepts the query parameters common to all endpoints that return a single response:

Name
Type
Description
Default

pageNum

integer

Page number (1-index based).

1

itemsPerPage

integer

Number of items to return per page, up to a maximum of 500.

100

pretty

boolean

Indicates whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.

false

envelope

boolean

Indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set "envelope" : true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, response body includes:

Name
Description

status

HTTP response code

content

Expected response body

For endpoints that return a list of results, the results object is an envelope. Cloud Manager adds the status field to the response body.

None

Request Body Parameters

This endpoint doesn't use HTTP request body parameters.

Response

Name
Type
Description

databaseName

string

Database to which the measurement applies.

Populated for Get Database Measurements only.

end

string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC for the end of the period the returned measurements cover.

granularity

string

Duration in ISO 8601 notation that specifies the size of the interval that each data point covers.

For example, PT5M specifies a 5-minute granularity.

groupId

string

Unique identifier of the project that owns the host.

hostId

string

Unique identifier of the host to which the measurements pertain.

measurements

object array

Each object in this array represents a measurement and the data points for that measurement.

measurements.dataPoints

object array

Each object represents a single data point. If there is no data point available for a particular moment in time, this value is set to null.

measurements.dataPoints.timestamp

string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC for the beginning of the time interval this data point represents.

measurements.dataPoints.value

float

Value of this data point.

measurements.name

string

Name of the measurement. Accepted values are given in the Measurement Types page.

measurements.units

string

How this measurement is quantified. Accepted units are:

  • PERCENT

  • MILLISECONDS

  • BYTES

  • GIGABYTES

  • BYTES_PER_SECOND

  • MEGABYTES_PER_SECOND

  • GIGABYTES_PER_HOUR

  • SCALAR_PER_SECOND

  • SCALAR

partitionName

string

Name of the disk partition that stores the MongoDB process database.

Populated for Get Disk Partition Measurements only.

processId

string

FQDN and port of the MongoDB process.

start

string

Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC for the beginning of the period the returned measurements cover.
