db.serverStatus() got not authorized on admin to execute command

Question

My mongo version : 2.6.11
I want to check db.serverStatus() in my robomomgo
But got errmsg:

{
    "ok" : 0,
    "errmsg" : "not authorized on admin to execute command { serverStatus:   1.0 }",
    "code" : 13
}

How can I add authorization ??

I find a command can create user with authorization :

db.createUser(
    {
      user: "tester",
      pwd: "password",
      roles: [             
         { role: "readWrite", db: "test" }
      ]
    }
);

But I don't know which is db.serverStatus() 's database name??
How can I authorize it??

Answer 1

You need to grant the clusterMonitor role to the user running the db.serverStatus command. You can grant this role to a user by calling the `grantRolestoUser.

Here's a list of other clusterMonitor roles

use admin

db.createUser(
    {
      user: "clustermonitor",
      pwd: "password",
      roles: [             
         { role: "readWrite", db: "admin" }
      ]
    }
);

db.grantRolesToUser(
  "clusterMonitor",
   [
     { role: "clusterMonitor", db:"admin"} 
   ]
);
