replSetGetStatus

The replSetGetStatus command returns the status of the replica set from the point of view of the server that processed the command. replSetGetStatus must be run on the admin database.

The mongod instance must be a replica set member for replSetGetStatus to return successfully.

Data provided by this command derives from data included in heartbeats sent to the server by other members of the replica set. Because of the frequency of heartbeats, these data can be several seconds out of date.

Tip

In mongosh, this command can also be run through the rs.status() helper method.

Helper methods are convenient for mongosh users, but they may not return the same level of information as database commands. In cases where the convenience is not needed or the additional return fields are required, use the database command.

The command has the following syntax:

db.adminCommand(
{
replSetGetStatus: 1
}
)
  • Starting in MongoDB 4.2.1

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

    After the member completes the initial synchronization and transitions to another state, the replSetGetStatus.initialSyncStatus metrics are no longer available.

  • In earlier versions (3.6.x-4.2.0)

    To return initial sync status information, include initialSync: 1 in the command on a secondary member or a member in STARTUP2 state:

    db.adminCommand( { replSetGetStatus: 1, initialSync: 1 } )

    The replSetGetStatus.initialSyncStatus metrics remain available after the member completes its initial sync. That is, you can run the replSetGetStatus command with the initialSync: 1 on the secondary member to return its initial sync information.

    You cannot specify initialSync: 1 in the mongosh helper rs.status().

The replSetGetStatus command returns a document with the following fields:

replSetGetStatus.set

The set value is the name of the replica set, configured in the replSetName setting. This is the same value as _id in rs.conf().

replSetGetStatus.date

An ISODate formatted date and time that contains the current time according to the server that processed the replSetGetStatus command. Compare this to the values of replSetGetStatus.members[n].lastHeartbeat to find the operational latency between this server and the other members of the replica set.

replSetGetStatus.myState

An integer between 0 and 10 that represents the replica state of the current member.

replSetGetStatus.term

The election count for the replica set, as known to this replica set member. The term is used by the distributed consensus algorithm to ensure correctness.

replSetGetStatus.syncingTo

Removed in MongoDB 4.4

See replSetGetStatus.syncSourceHost instead.

replSetGetStatus.syncSourceHost
