Monitor Your Clusters
Atlas provides built-in tools, alerts, charts, integrations, and logs to help you monitor your clusters. Atlas provides the following ways to monitor your clusters and improve performance.
Slow Queries
To optimize your query performance, review the best practices for query performance. You can also analyze slow queries and troubleshoot slow operations executed on your clusters.
Use the following built-in tools:
Monitor and improve slow queries with the Performance Advisor.
Monitor collection-level query latency with Namespace Insights.
Monitor query performance with the Query Profiler.
Monitor real-time performance with the Real-Time Performance Panel.
Schema Design
To optimize your schema design, review our frequently used schema design patterns. You can also improve your schema. Improve your schema based on recommendations from the Performance Advisor and the Atlas UI.
Alerts
To trigger alerts based on alert conditions and to help ensure cluster performance, configure alerts and resolve them promptly. You can configure alerts based on specific conditions for your databases, users, accounts, and more. When you resolve alerts, you should fix the immediate problem, implement a long-term solution, and monitor your progress.
Before you get started with alerts, review the Alert Basics.
Deployment Metrics
To monitor your cluster performance, view cluster metrics. View historical throughput, performance, and utilization metrics for your databases. To learn more, review the available metrics.
Third-Party Integrations
To receive Atlas alerts in various external monitoring services, integrate with third-party monitoring services.
MongoDB Logs
To view log messages and system event audit messages, view and download your MongoDB logs.
