9 The following is a short list of things to check when you have a prob‐
10 lem.
11 · Did you call mongoc_init() in main()? If not, you will likely see a
13 segfault.
14 · Have you leaked any clients or cursors as can be found with mon‐
16 goc-stat <PID>?
17 · Have packets been delivered to the server? See egress bytes from mon‐
19 goc-stat <PID>.
20 · Does valgrind show any leaks? Ensure you call mongoc_cleanup() at the
22 end of your process to cleanup lingering allocations from the MongoDB
23 C driver.
24 · If compiling your own copy of MongoDB C Driver, consider using the
26 cmake option -DENABLE_TRACING=ON to enable function tracing and hex
27 dumps of network packets to STDERR and STDOUT.

30 The MongoDB C driver comes with an optional unique feature to help
31 developers and sysadmins troubleshoot problems in production. Perfor‐
32 mance counters are available for each process using the driver. If
33 available, the counters can be accessed outside of the application
34 process via a shared memory segment. This means that you can graph
35 statistics about your application process easily from tools like Munin
36 or Nagios. Your author often uses watch --interval=0.5 -d mongoc-stat
37 $PID to monitor an application.
38 Performance counters are only available on Linux platforms supporting
40 shared memory segments. On supported platforms they are enabled by
41 default. Applications can be built without the counters by specifying
42 the cmake option -DENABLE_SHM_COUNTERS=OFF. Additionally, if perfor‐
43 mance counters are already compiled, they can be disabled at runtime by
44 specifying the environment variable MONGOC_DISABLE_SHM.
45 Performance counters keep track of the following:
47 · Active and Disposed Cursors
49 · Active and Disposed Clients, Client Pools, and Socket Streams.
51 · Number of operations sent and received, by type.
53 · Bytes transferred and received.
55 · Authentication successes and failures.
57 · Number of wire protocol errors.
59 To access counters for a given process, simply provide the process id
61 to the mongoc-stat program installed with the MongoDB C Driver.
