MongoDB Monitoring Without Profiler
True zero-instrumentation MongoDB monitoring. Our eBPF technology captures every operation at the kernel level by analyzing the MongoDB wire protocol. No profiler, no authentication changes, no performance impact.
How We Monitor MongoDB
Using eBPF to intercept and decode the MongoDB wire protocol
Wire Protocol Monitoring
Capture MongoDB operations using eBPF without profiler, agents, or authentication changes
Full Operation Visibility
Parse OP_QUERY, OP_REPLY, OP_MSG protocol messages to track all database operations
Zero Performance Impact
No profiler overhead - capture happens at kernel level before reaching MongoDB
Query Performance Metrics
Track operation latency, document counts, error rates from wire protocol data
Automatic Discovery
Detect MongoDB instances on port 27017 automatically - standalone, replica sets, or sharded
Distributed Tracing
Correlate MongoDB operations with application requests for full trace visibility
MongoDB Protocol Analysis
Wire Protocol Messages
Our eBPF programs capture and parse MongoDB wire protocol messages:
- OP_QUERY (2004): Find operations with selectors and options
- OP_REPLY (1): Response with document counts and data
- OP_MSG (2013): Modern protocol for MongoDB 3.6+
- OP_INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE: Write operations tracking
Zero Overhead Architecture
// eBPF captures MongoDB packets
if (port == 27017) {
// Parse MongoDB wire protocol header
msg_length = *(u32*)payload;
request_id = *(u32*)(payload + 4);
opcode = *(u32*)(payload + 12);
// Extract operation details
if (opcode == OP_QUERY) {
parse_mongodb_query(payload + 16);
}
}What We Capture
Monitor MongoDB Without Any Changes
No profiler, no authentication, no configuration. Just instant visibility.
