MongoDB Monitoring
Introduction
A MongoDB monitor detects your database status, and automatically triggers traffic switching when the database is abnormal.

Green |
The monitoring is normal. |
Red |
The monitoring is abnormal. Traffic switchover is automatically triggered (if enabled) when the status changes from normal to failed. |
Yellow |
The monitor initialization failed. The initial detection fails when the monitor starts. In this case, confirm the configurations or contact O&M personnel. |
Light gray |
Monitor creation or configuration failed |
Dark gray |
Invocation failed. The ETCD connection status is abnormal. |
