The MongoDB C Driver allows you to monitor all the MongoDB operations the driver executes. This event-notification system conforms to two MongoDB driver specs:

  • Command Logging and Monitoring: events related to all application operations.
  • SDAM Monitoring: events related to the driver's Server Discovery And Monitoring logic.

To receive notifications, create a mongoc_apm_callbacks_t with mongoc_apm_callbacks_new(), set callbacks on it, then pass it to mongoc_client_set_apm_callbacks() or mongoc_client_pool_set_apm_callbacks().

Start a 3-node replica set on localhost with set name "rs" and start the program:

./example-sdam-monitoring "mongodb://localhost:27017,localhost:27018/?replicaSet=rs"


This example program prints something like:

topology opening
topology changed: Unknown -> ReplicaSetNoPrimary
  secondary UNAVAILABLE
  primary UNAVAILABLE
server opening: localhost:27017
server opening: localhost:27018
localhost:27017 heartbeat started
localhost:27018 heartbeat started
localhost:27017 heartbeat succeeded: { ... reply ... }
server changed: localhost:27017 Unknown -> RSPrimary
server opening: localhost:27019
topology changed: ReplicaSetNoPrimary -> ReplicaSetWithPrimary
  new servers:
      RSPrimary localhost:27017
  secondary UNAVAILABLE
  primary AVAILABLE
localhost:27019 heartbeat started
localhost:27018 heartbeat succeeded: { ... reply ... }
server changed: localhost:27018 Unknown -> RSSecondary
topology changed: ReplicaSetWithPrimary -> ReplicaSetWithPrimary
  previous servers:
      RSPrimary localhost:27017
  new servers:
      RSPrimary localhost:27017
      RSSecondary localhost:27018
  secondary AVAILABLE
  primary AVAILABLE
localhost:27019 heartbeat succeeded: { ... reply ... }
server changed: localhost:27019 Unknown -> RSSecondary
topology changed: ReplicaSetWithPrimary -> ReplicaSetWithPrimary
  previous servers:
      RSPrimary localhost:27017
      RSSecondary localhost:27018
  new servers:
      RSPrimary localhost:27017
      RSSecondary localhost:27018
      RSSecondary localhost:27019
  secondary AVAILABLE
  primary AVAILABLE
topology closed
Events:
   server changed: 3
   server opening: 3
   server closed: 0
   topology changed: 4
   topology opening: 1
   topology closed: 1
   heartbeat started: 3
   heartbeat succeeded: 3
   heartbeat failed: 0


The driver connects to the mongods on ports 27017 and 27018, which were specified in the URI, and determines which is primary. It also discovers the third member, "localhost:27019", and adds it to the topology.
