rs.status()

Definition

rs.status()

Returns the replica set status from the point of view of the member where the method is run.

Important

mongosh Method

This page documents a mongosh method. This is not the documentation for database commands or language-specific drivers, such as Node.js.

For the database command, see the replSetGetStatus command.

For MongoDB API drivers, refer to the language-specific MongoDB driver documentation.

For the legacy mongo shell documentation, refer to the documentation for the corresponding MongoDB Server release:

mongo shell v4.4

This output reflects the current status of the replica set, using data derived from the heartbeat packets sent by the other members of the replica set.

Output

For an example and details on the output, see replSetGetStatus.

If you run the mongosh helper method rs.status() (or the replSetGetStatus command) on a member during its initial sync (i.e. STARTUP2 state), the command returns replSetGetStatus.initialSyncStatus metrics.

Once the member completes its initial sync, the replSetGetStatus.initialSyncStatus metrics becomes unavailable.
