setFreeMonitoring

setFreeMonitoring

New in version 4.0: Available for MongoDB Community Edition.

Enables or disables free Cloud monitoring for standalones and replica sets.

The command is run against the admin database and has the form:

db.adminCommand( { setFreeMonitoring: 1, action: "<enable|disable>" } )

Important

To run setFreeMonitoring, you must have specified --enableFreeMonitoring command-line option or cloud.monitoring.free.state configuration file set to runtime.

Otherwise, you can only enable or disable at startup. See --enableFreeMonitoring command-line option or cloud.monitoring.free.state for details.

Once enabled, the free monitoring state remains enabled until explicitly disabled. That is, you do not need to re-enable each time you start the server.

The mongo shell provides the following helper methods for setFreeMonitoring:

• db.enableFreeMonitoring()

• db.disableFreeMonitoring()

You can use db.getFreeMonitoringStatus() to check your free monitoring status.
