Mongodb using db.help() on a particular db command
- by user1325696
When I type db.help()
It returns
DB methods:
db.addUser(username, password[, readOnly=false])
db.auth(username, password)
...
...
db.printShardingStatus()
...
...
db.fsyncLock() flush data to disk and lock server for backups
db.fsyncUnock() unlocks server following a db.fsyncLock()
I'd like to find out how to get more detailed help for the particular command. The problem was with the printShardingStatus as it returned "too many chunks to print, use verbose if you want to print"
mongos> db.printShardingStatus()
--- Sharding Status ---
sharding version: { "_id" : 1, "version" : 3 }
shards:
{ "_id" : "shard0000", "host" : "localhost:10001" }
{ "_id" : "shard0001", "host" : "localhost:10002" }
databases:
{ "_id" : "admin", "partitioned" : false, "primary" : "config" }
{ "_id" : "dbTest", "partitioned" : true, "primary" : "shard0000" }
dbTest.things chunks:
shard0001 12
shard0000 19
too many chunks to print, use verbose if you want to for
ce print
I found that for that particular command I can specify boolean parameter
db.printShardingStatus(true)
which wasn't shown using db.help().
