View Atlas Search Metrics¶
On this page
Atlas provides Atlas Search metrics for clusters with at least one active Atlas Search index. To set up an Atlas Search index, see Atlas Search.
To view Atlas search metrics, click the View Monitoring button for that cluster. Alternatively, click on the name of the cluster to open the cluster overview, then click the Metrics tab. Select one or more of the search charts.
Monitor database deployment metrics to identify performance issues and determine whether your current database deployment meets your requirements. For more information on the metrics available to monitor your database deployments, see Review Available Metrics.
The following Atlas Search metrics are available to evaluate and optimize your Atlas Search indexes:
Chart | Data |
|---|---|
Search Process Memory | Displays the total bytes of memory that search processes occupy. |
Search Process CPU | Displays the percentage of time that the CPU spent servicing
search processes. For servers with more than 1 CPU core, this value can exceed 100%. |
Search Normalized Process CPU | Displays CPU usage of search processes on the node scaled to a
range of 0-100% by dividing by the number of CPU cores. |
Search Disk Space Used | Displays the total bytes of disk space that search processes use. |
Atlas stores metrics data at increasing granularity levels. For more information, see Monitoring Data Storage Granularity.
Chart Controls¶
Atlas provides the following controls for the metrics charts. Adjusting any of these options affects all charts displayed under the selected view:
Control | Function |
|---|---|
Granularity | Modifies the granularity of metrics displayed for each chart.
Select a granularity, usually between 1 minute and 1 day (24
hours). Select Note Atlas supports a 10 second granularity only on |
Zoom | Modifies the date range of metrics displayed for each chart.
Select a zoom range between 1 hour and 5 years. Adjusting
the Zoom automatically adjusts the
Current Display date range. |
Current Display | Modifies the start and end date-time range of metrics displayed
for each chart. Modifying the start and end date sets the
value of Zoom to custom and overrides the
previously selected zoom level. |
Add Chart | Select one or more charts to display or hide. Adding
charts using this dropdown is identical to adding charts
from the Toggle Charts section of the
Metrics view. |
Select Database | Only visible for the DB Stats view. Selects
the database for which to display metrics. |
Display Opcounters on Separate Charts | Directs Atlas to split the Opcounters
chart into its individual components. You can then choose
to chart one or more of those components. |
Display Timeline Annotations | Directs Atlas to display or hide chart annotations.
Chart annotations consist of colored vertical lines that
indicate server events, such as a server restart or
a transition in member state. |
Chart Display¶
When viewing charts, you can do the following:
Task | Action |
|---|---|
View a detailed description of a chart. | Hover your mouse over the chart to display the context menu. Click next to the chart name to open the Chart Info modal. This modal includes a breakdown of the chart's data series, the annotations available for that chart, and the operations the chart supports. |
Expand a chart. | Hover your mouse over the chart to display the context menu. Click the two-way arrow at the top right of the chart. |
Zoom in on a period of time. | Click and drag the mouse pointer over a portion of the chart. To reset to the originally selected range (zoom out), double-click the chart. Note When you zoom in on one period of time, the Current Display date range in the chart control section automatically updates to reflect the selected period. |
View statistics at a particular time. | Hover the mouse pointer over a point on the chart. |
Move a chart. | Click and hold the grabber in the upper left corner of the chart,
and drag the chart to the new position. |
Share a URL to the chart. | Hover your mouse over the chart to display the context menu. Click the curved arrow on the chart. Select Chart Permalink to retrieve a URL to the chart. Select Email Chart to email the chart. The recipient of the chart URL must have a Atlas user account with access to the project and cluster. |
Chart Selection¶
Atlas displays the available metrics to chart for the selected cluster under the Toggle Charts header.
Charts marked with the + symbol are inactive,
