Recently I run several times into trouble with mongodb that exhausted my system. The database is tiny, after a mongodump, all files together weight 248KB.

After some hours uptime it happens that the machine is not accessible anymore, i.e. no responses to HTTP-Request, neither to SSH. The AWS console shows not more than a CPU peak up to 80%, status is still running, status checks are 2/2 OK. Nodetime shows that memory usage and CPU load arose sharply before the outage. As I could not interact at all with the machine, the only possibility I had was to stop/start the instance.

Configuration/environment info

MongoDB logs

The following logs are generated before the machine is not responsible. As you see, the mongodb was started the evening before and not touched until mongodb started to cleanup things. What looks weired for me is the increase of time and seemingly endless repetition of flushing mmaps.

Has anybody faced similar mongodb behaviour patterns? I disabeld TTL already and I am going to install some SWAP space and will report the system reactions. As the database is really small, I think 1GB RAM should be sufficient. All other processes (nginx, 2 small nodes) seem to run normally. Have you suggestions for other monitoring tools? I use: * nodetime * AWS mon-scripts for memory (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/mon-scripts.html)

Thanks for hints and idea sharing.

  • MongoDB uses memory. A lot. For basically everything. Including connections, for which it allocates about 1MB per connection. I'd guess since your memory is a bit low, MongoDB tries to manage it (which I know it actually does). If this happens to often, new usage might stack up. Commented Apr 20, 2015 at 19:04

After eliminating other memory-hungry processes, the machine runs smoothly at the moment. No such log entries like described above are observed. Thanks for pointing out that MongoDB really needs an amount of memory.
