A collection of scripts to set up MongoDB test environments and parse and visualize MongoDB log files.

mtools

mtools is a collection of helper scripts to parse, filter, and visualize MongoDB log files (mongod, mongos). mtools also includes mlaunch, a utility to quickly set up complex MongoDB test environments on a local machine.

What's in the box?

The following tools are in the mtools collection:

mlogfilter

slices log files by time, merges log files, filters slow queries, finds table scans, shortens log lines, filters by other atributes, convert to JSON

mloginfo

returns info about log file, like start and end time, version, binary, special sections like restarts, connections, distinct view

mplotqueries

visualize logfiles with different types of plots (requires matplotlib)

mlogvis

creates a self-contained html file that shows an interactive visualization in a web browser (as an alternative to mplotqueries)

mlaunch

a script to quickly spin up local test environments, including replica sets and sharded systems (requires pymongo)

You can find the manual and many usage examples on the mtools wiki pages.

Requirements and Installation Instructions

The mtools collection is written in Python, and most of the tools only use the standard packages shipped with Python version 2.7.x.

mtools is not currently compatible with Python 3.

Some of the tools have additional dependencies, which are listed under the specific tool's section. See the INSTALL.md file for installation instructions for these modules.

The mtools utilities are only tested with currently supported (non End-of-Life) versions of the MongoDB server. As of September 2017, that includes MongoDB 3.0 or newer.
