GET /groups/{PROJECT-ID}/hosts/{HOST-ID}/performanceAdvisor/suggestedIndexes
Parameter
Type
Description
PROJECT-ID
string
(Required.) Unique identifier of the project that owns this MongoDB process.
HOST-ID
string
(Required.) Unique identifier of the host for the MongoDB process.

All parameters are optional.

pretty
boolean
false
envelope
boolean
Indicates whether or not to wrap the response in an envelope.
false
since
long
Point in time from which to retrieve suggested indexes, stated in milliseconds since epoch.
previous 24 hours
duration
long
Length of time in milliseconds during which to find suggested indexes among the managed namespaces in the cluster.
up to the present time
namespaces
string

Namespaces from which to retrieve suggested indexes. A namespace consists of the database and collection resource separated by a ., such as <database>.<collection>.

To specify multiple namespaces, pass the parameter multiple times using an ampersand (&) as a delimiter, once for each namespace.

Example

?namespaces=data.stocks&namespaces=data.zips&pretty=true

all
nIndexes
long
Maximum number of indexes to suggest.
unlimited
nExamples
long
Maximum number of examples queries to provide that will be improved by a suggested index.

Name
Type
Description
shapes
array of documents
Documents with information about the query shapes that are served by the suggested indexes.
shapes[n].avgMs
number
Average duration in milliseconds for the queries examined that match this shape.
shapes[n].count
number
Number of queries examined that match this shape.
shapes[n].id
objectId
Unique id for this shape. Exists only for the duration of the API request.
shapes[n].inefficiencyScore
number
Average number of documents read for every document returned by the query. For more information, see Understanding the Query Inefficiency Score.
shapes[n].namespace
string
Namespace searched by the queries in this shape.
shapes[n].operations
array of documents
Documents with specific information and log lines for individual queries.
shapes[n].operations[n].predicates
array of documents
Documents containing the search criteria used by the query. Values in key-value pairs will be redacted in these predicates unless the user has Project Data Access Read Only permissions or higher.
shapes[n].operations[n].raw
string
Raw log line produced by the query.
shapes[n].operations[n].stats
document
Query statistics.
shapes[n].operations[n].stats.ms
number
Duration in milliseconds of the query.
shapes[n].operations[n].stats.nReturned
number
Number of results returned by the query.
shapes[n].stats.avgObjSize
number
Average object size.
shapes[n].stats.nScanned
number
Number of documents read by the query.
shapes[n].stats.ts
number
Query timestamp, in seconds since epoch.
suggestedIndexes
array of documents
Documents with information about the indexes suggested by the Performance Advisor.
suggestedIndexes[n].id
objectId
Unique id for this suggested index.
suggestedIndexes[n].impact
array of objectIds

List of unique identifers which correspond the query shapes in this response which pertain to this suggested index.

Note

This field does not correspond to Impact in the Performance Advisor user interface.

suggestedIndexes[n].index
array of documents

Each array element is a document that specifies a key in the index and its sort order, ascending or descending.

  • A value of 1 indicates an ascending sort order.

  • A value of -1 indicates a descending sort order.

Keys in indexes with multiple keys appear in the same order that they appear in the index.

suggestedIndexes[n].index.<fieldname>
string
Specific field to be indexed.
suggestedIndexes[n].namespace
string
Namespace of the suggested index.
suggestedIndexes[n].weight
number
Estimated performance improvement that the suggested index would provide. Corresponds to Impact in the Performance Advisor user interface.
