MongoDB Search runs a new process, called mongot, alongside
the mongod process on each host in your
cluster. mongot maintains all
MongoDB Search indexes on collections in your databases.
The amount of CPU, memory, and disk resources mongot consumes
depends on several factors, including our index configuration and
the complexity of your queries.
MongoDB Search alerts measure the amount of
CPU and memory used by MongoDB Search processes.
The following pages contain recommendations that you can apply when configuring your MongoDB Search index and defining your MongoDB Search queries to improve performance:
Important
Upgrading to NVMe Storage
Upgrading your cluster to use NVMe triggers an
initial sync on that cluster.
MongoDB Search is unavailable until both the mongod and mongot
finish their initial syncs.
A File Copy Based Initial Sync will always be used to sync all of the nodes of an NVME cluster whenever an initial sync is required.
