Return log lines for slow queries as determined by the Performance Advisor and Query Profiler.

Note

Users without one of the following roles cannot successfully call the endpoint:

The other Performance Advisor endpoints allow users without these roles to call the endpoints and receive redacted data.

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/processes/{PROCESS-ID}/performanceAdvisor/slowQueryLogs
Path Element
Type
Necessity
Description
GROUP-ID
String
Required
Unique 24-hexadecimal digit string that identifies the project in which you find the desired process.
PROCESS-ID
String
Required

Atlas hostname and port that hosts the desired MongoDB process.

Example

m10-shard-00-00-17jcm.mongodb.net:27017

To retrieve all processes in the project with a given GROUP-ID, use the /groups/{GROUP-ID}/processes endpoint.

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:

status
HTTP response code
envelope
Expected response body
false
since
number
Optional
Timestamp in the number of seconds that have elapsed since the UNIX epoch from which to retrieve suggested indexes.
duration
number
Optional
Length of time in milliseconds during which to find suggested indexes among the managed namespaces in the cluster.
namespaces
string
Optional

Namespaces from which to retrieve suggested indexes. A namespace consists of the database and collection resource separated by a ., such as <database>.<collection>.

To specify multiple namespaces, pass the parameter multiple times using an ampersand (&) as a delimiter, once for each namespace.

Example

?namespaces=data.stocks&namespaces=data.zips&pretty=true

Omit to return results for all namespaces.

nLogs
number
Optional
Maximum number of log lines to return.
20000
Note
  • If you specify since and omit duration, the response contains results from the since point up to and including the present time.
  • If you specify duration and omit since, the response contains results from duration ms ago up to and including the present time.
  • If you omit both since and duration, the response contains results from the previous 24 hours up up to and including the present time.

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.
