killAllSessionsByPattern

Definition

killAllSessionsByPattern

New in version 3.6.

The killAllSessionsByPattern command kills all sessions that match any of the specified patterns.

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

db.runCommand( { killAllSessionsByPattern: [ <pattern>, ... ] } )

The command takes an array of documents that specify the patterns to match:

Pattern Description
{ lsid: { id : <UUID> } } Specify the UUID portion of the session id to kill.
{ uid: <BinData> } Specifies the hash of the owner of the sessions to kill.
{ users: [ { user: <user>, db: <dbname> }, ... ] } Specifies the owners of the sessions to kill. Requires additional privileges. See Access Control.
{ roles: [ { role: <role>, db: <dbname> }, ... ] } Specifies the roles assigned to the owners of the sessions to kill. Requires additional privileges. See Access Control.

Specify an empty array to kill all sessions.

To view existing sessions, see $listSessions operation or $listLocalSessions.

Access Control

If the deployment enforces authentication/authorization, you must have the killAnySession privilege action to run the killAllSessionsByPattern command.

For patterns that include users or roles, you must also have privileges that grant impersonate action on the cluster resource.

Note

Users can kill their own sessions even without the killAnySession privilege action.

Examples

Kill All Sessions

The following operation kills all sessions:

db.runCommand( { killAllSessionsByPattern: [ ] } )

Kill All Sessions for Specific Users

The following operation kills all sessions that have the specified uid and whose owner has the specified role:

db.runCommand( { killAllSessionsByPattern: [
   { "uid" : BinData(0,"oBRA45vMY78p1tv6kChjQPTdYsnCHi/kA/fFMZTIV1o=") },
   { roles: [ { role: "readWrite", db: "test" } ] }
] } )
