Webinar Replay: Become a MongoDB DBA – What to Monitor (if You’re Really a MySQLer)

Thanks to everyone who joined us for this week’s webinar on how to monitor MongoDB (for the MySQL DBA).

Art van Scheppingen, Senior Support Engineer at Severalnines, discussed the most important metrics to keep an eye on for MongoDB and described them in plain MySQL DBA language.

This webinar looked at answering the following questions (amongst others):

• Which status overviews and commands really matter to you?
• How do you trend and alert on them?
• What is the meaning behind the metrics?

It also included a look at the open source tools available for MongoDB monitoring and trending. Finally, Art did a demo of ClusterControl’s MongoDB metrics, dashboards, custom alerting and other features to track and optimize the performance of your MongoDB system.
