db.shutdownServer() (mongosh method)

db.shutdownServer()

Shuts down the current mongod or mongos process cleanly and safely. You must issue the db.shutdownServer() operation against the admin database.

db.shutdownServer() has this syntax:

db.shutdownServer({
  force: <boolean>,
  timeoutSecs: <int>
})

The method takes these fields:

Field	Description
force	Optional. Specify true to force the mongod or mongos to shut down. Force shutdown interrupts any ongoing operations on the mongod or mongos and may result in unexpected behavior. You can pause and resume in-progress index builds using force. See db.shutdownServer() on Replica Set Members for more information.
timeoutSecs	Optional. Starting in MongoDB 5.0, mongod and mongos enter a quiesce period to allow any ongoing database operations to complete before shutting down. If a mongod primary receives a shut down request, the primary: Attempts to step down to a secondary. If the step down fails and a: shutdown or db.shutdownServer() command was run, mongod only continues the shut down steps if the force field is true, or a SIGTERM signal was sent to mongod, mongod always continues the shut down steps. Enters the quiesce period. Ends any remaining database operations. Shuts down. For a mongod secondary or mongos shut down request, the quiesce period is entered after a shut down was requested. The quiesce period is specified by the: timeoutSecs field if a shutdown or db.shutdownServer() command was run, or shutdownTimeoutMillisForSignaledShutdown server parameter if a SIGTERM signal was sent to mongod, or mongosShutdownTimeoutMillisForSignaledShutdown server parameter if a SIGTERM signal was sent to mongos. Clients cannot open new connections to a mongod or mongos that is shutting down. timeoutSecs specifies a time period in seconds. The default is: 15 seconds starting in MongoDB 5.0. 10 seconds in MongoDB versions earlier than 5.0. mongod uses timeoutSecs as follows: If the current node is the primary node of a replica set, mongod waits for a period of up to the number of seconds specified by the timeoutSecs field for an electable node to catch up before stepping down the primary node. For details about the catch up time, see replication lag. If the current node is in the SECONDARY state after stepping down from being the primary, any remaining time specified in timeoutSecs is used for a quiesce period, which allows existing operations to complete. New operations are sent to other replica set nodes. Starting in MongoDB 5.0, mongos uses timeoutSecs as a quiesce period, which allows existing operations to complete. New operations are sent to other mongos nodes. In MongoDB versions earlier than 5.0, mongos shuts down immediately and does not use timeoutSecs.

This operation provides a wrapper around the shutdown command.
