MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database that allows unauthenticated access by default.

Regardless of the user’s authentication database, Mongo always stores user information in admin.

1. # backup all databases $ mongodump -v-u appsvcname -p tG9agv3rnTTAtFiexX5dc -port 27018 # backup single database $ mongodump -v-u appsvcname -p tG9agv3rnTTAtFiexX5dc -port 27018 -db = app # mongo shell: if you want to restore an existing db and keep the old version around db.copyDatabase ('app', 'app20200428') # restore all databases.
2. Mongo Shell is easiest way to experiment with MongoDB in the beginning. You can login to shell by running command mongo. List all databases; show dbs. Create/ login to a database; use. create collection ```sh db.createCollection(') 5. Lets take an use case, using which we can.

MongoDB stores all user information, including name, password, and the user’s authentication database, in the system.users collection in the admin database.

See centralized-user-data and system-users-collection.

When you create a user and grant that user access to a single database (aka their authentication database) then that information can only be stored in the admin database.

So, it’s not really a question of “best practice”; storing user details in admin is MongoDB’s choice, as implemented by their user management commands.

Update in response to this comment:

Ok, so the users are always located in the admin db, but I may also add “duplicates” to the other dbs? Maybe the question should be whether there any advantage in adding users to the other “non admin” dbs?

If you intend to have a single user with access to multiple databases then create a single user with roles in each of those databases rather than creating that user multiple times i.e. once in each of those databases. For example:

Create initial admin user

Sharded Cluster with enforced authentication

Create:

• a cluster-wide admin user
• a replica set specific admin user

Cluster-wide Admin

Replica Set Admin (a.k.a shard local)

Enable authentication in the mongos configuration

Connect to all replica set member nodes

Authenticate and check that the admin users exist

Log in

Rename collections

Copy Collection

Check replication set status

Backup/Restore

Documents

Admin commands

TLS 1.2 for Mongo Routers

To protect your application’s database connection enable TLS on the mongo routers as follows. Note that your mongo driver configuration needs to trust the CA certificate and enable transport encryption with ssl=true.

Rolling Update/Cluster Patching

Maintenance (startup in reverse order):

Replication Concept

1. write operations go to the primary node
2. all changes are recorded into operations log
3. asynchronous replication to secondary
4. secondaries copy the primary oplog
5. secondary can use sync source secondary*

• automatic failover on primary failure

*settings.chainingAllowed (true by default)

Replica set oplog

• special capped collection that keeps a rolling record of all operations that modify the data stored in the databases
• idempotent

• default oplog size (for Unix and Windows systems):

  Storage Engine	Default Oplog Size	Lower Bound	Upper Bound
  In-memory	5% of physical memory	50MB	50GB
  WiredTiger	5% of free disk space	990MB	50GB
  MMAPv1	5% of free disk space	990MB	50GB

Deployment

• start each server with config options for replSet
  /usr/bin/mongod --replSet 'myRepl'
• initiate the replica set on one node - rs.initialize()
• verify the configuration - rs.conf()
• add the rest of the nodes - rs.add() on the primary node
  rs.add('node2:27017') , rs.add('node3:27017')
• check the status of the replica set - rs.status()

Sharding

Components

Mongodb Shell Commands Cheat Sheet Pdf

• shard/replica set - subset of the sharded data
• config servers - metadata and config settings
• mongos - query router, cluster interface
  sh.addShard('shardName')

Shards

• contains subset of sharded data
• replica set for redundancy and HA with odd number of voting members
• primary shard
• don’t shard collections if dataset fits into single server
• –shardsvr in config file (port 27018)
• every xxx has a primary shard per database
• all non-shared collections will reside on primary shard

Shard keys (and limitations)

• shard keys are immutable with max size of 512 bytes (can not be updated/changed)
• must be ascending indexed key or indexed compound keys that exists in every document in the collection
• cannot be multikey index, a text index or a geospatial index
• update operations that affect a single document must include the shard key or the _id field
• no option for sharding if unique indexes on other fields exist
• no option for second unique index if the shard key is unique index
• ranged sharding may not distribute the data evenly
• hashed sharding distributes the data randomly

Config servers

• config servers as replica set (only 3.4)
• stores the metadata for sharded cluster in config database
• authentication configuration information in admin database
• holds balancer on Primary node (>= 3.4)
• –configsvr in config file (port 27019)

mongos

• caching metadata from config servers
• routes queries to shards
• no persistent state
• updates cache on metadata changes
• holds balancer (mongodb <= 3.2)
• mongos version 3.4 can not connect to earlier mongod version

Sharding collection

Mongodb Commands Pdf

I’ve been working with MongoDB for a little over a year now and one of the things that I’ve found that is missing from the community is a really good in depth full coverage cheat sheet for the Mongo shell.

Mongodb Command Line

I’ve recently just finished up the Mongo University courses for M101JS: MongoDB for Node.js developers, and M102: MongoDB for DBA’s and I wanted to have a 1 page reference sheet to summarize everything I had learned.

I’ve looked around the web and there are a few but they all are either several pages long which is not a real cheat sheet, its a short tutorial on different commands. I wanted a real cheat sheet. You know the kind that just lists all the API commands in reference format so you can look at it and be reminded of all the different commands and operators available.

Mongodb Shell Commands Cheat Sheet 2020

So since I couldn’t find one I created one.

Mongodb Shell Cmd

It contains everything I could fit on an 11in x 17in page sized for print. But in PDF form it also has every single command hyperlinked to its full documentation page in the MongoDB reference. So for those times when your not sure exactly what the parameters or options for a command are, you can just click the item in the PDF to go straight to the page in the MongoDB reference for full details.

Feel free to leave corrections, comments, or suggestions for updates below. I’m also thinking of making a 2 page 8.5in x 11in version as well if I can make it all fit properly. I don’t think this version would be very legible printed on 8.5×11 scaled down.
