This blog is a series of Sizing a MongoDB Cluster videos.

Computer and I/O

This video is about how things work inside a computer at a high level.  You will learn about the three important components of a computer, and the steps take place to support both read and write operations.  Let’s get started.

Survey Your Mongo Land

Keyhole was still under active development after I published the Peek at your MongoDB Clusters like a Pro with Keyhole: Part 1 post in December 2019.  Since then, I have added many features and also changed the format of output files from json to bson.  I’ll use this post to summarize new features and modified functions not available in the previous post.  Recap A couple months into Keyhole development, a clear direction was surfacing: I needed a tool to fetch all information of a MongoDB cluster in one shot.  I joked about this function the “Know the enemy and hit them where it hurts” feature.  The -allinfo option is perhaps the most commonly used one among users.  Using the -allinfo option, Keyhole collects host and build info, replication stats, server status, size and storage stats of databases and collections, index details and usages, and sharding configurations.  The information was collected from the primary member of a replica set or a mongos of a sharded cluster.  Later,

Maobi - Reports Generator for Keyhole

The Maobi project was created to generate HTML reports by reading stats collected by Keyhole.  The word maobi is a phonetic translation of Chinese paintbrush or ink brushes, which are commonly used in Chinese calligraphy as well as Japanese calligraphy.  They are also used in Chinese painting and other brush painting styles.  When I was little, it was required in school to use an ink brush to write or to paint pictures.  It took practice and effort to create something pleasant to the eyes. The idea of naming the tool Maobi was a reflection of the time we all spent on preparing reports and presentations. Keyhole started as a command line data collecting and analytics tool. With more data to be presented, it became difficult to include all metrics within a terminal window. So, the project began. Maobi is like a coworker Keyhole can only dream of, one who is smart, friendly, stylish but not flashy, and has contributed greatly to Keyhole’s popularity. Installation The easiest way to
