If I have a mongo instance running, how can I check what port numbers it is listening on from the shell? I thought that db.serverStatus()
would do it but I don't see it. I see this
"connections" : {
"current" : 3,
"available" : 816
Which is close... but no. Suggestions? I've read the docs and can't seem to find any command that will do this.
From the system shell you can use lsof
(see Derick's answer below) or netstat -an
to view what a process is actually doing. However, assuming you only have access to the mongo
shell (which your question title implies), then you can run the serverCmdLineOpts()
command. That output will give you all the arguments passed on the command line (argv) and the ones from the config file (parsed) and you can infer the ports mongod
is listening based on that information. Here's an example:
db.serverCmdLineOpts()
{
"argv" : [
"./mongod",
"-replSet",
"test",
"--rest",
"--dbpath",
"/data/test/r1",
"--port",
"30001"
],
"parsed" : {
"dbpath" : "/data/test/r1",
"port" : 30001,
"replSet" : "test",
"rest" : true
},
"ok" : 1
}
If you have not passed specific port options like the ones above, then the mongod
will be listening on 27017 and 28017 (http console) by default. Note: there are a couple of other arguments that can alter ports without being explicit, see here:
https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/#sharding.clusterRole
You can do this from the Operating System shell by running:
sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN | grep mongo
Try this:
db.runCommand({whatsmyuri : 1})
It will display both the IP address and the port number.
MongoDB only listens on one port by default (27017). If the --rest
interface is active, port 28017 (27017+1000) will also be open handling web requests for details.
MongoDB supports a getParameter
command, but that only works if you're already connected to the Database (at which point you already know the port).
