Calculate Suggested Indexes

Overview

Ops Manager can analyze the data on query patterns collected by the database profiler and suggest a set of indexes that could improve query performance. Ops Manager scores each suggested index on its expected benefit.

Prerequisites

For Ops Manager to suggest indexes, the following must be true:

  • You must enable database profiling for the MongoDB process. See Profile Databases.
  • The profiler must have data. If profiling is enabled, but no profiling data has yet been collected, Ops Manager cannot suggest indexes.

Procedure

To edit the deployment’s configuration:

1

Click Deployment, then the Processes tab, then the Topology view.

2

Click a deployment.

3

(Optional) For sharded clusters, filter which process type is listed.

The four buttons are listed in the following order, left to right: Shards, Configs, Mongos, and BIs.

Process Displays
Shards mongod processes that host your data.
Configs mongod processes that run as config servers to store a sharded cluster’s metadata.
Mongos mongos processes that route data in a sharded cluster.
BIs BI processes that access data in a sharded cluster.
4

Click the process for which you want to calculate suggested indexes.

For shared clusters, you must first click the shard that contains the process.

5

Click the Profiler tab above the charts.

Copy the indexes you want to create and add them to the MongoDB process.
