mongod: Specify database profiling level. 0 is off, 1 is only slow operations, 2 is all.
$ mongod --profile ${select}
try on your machine

The command "mongod --profile ${select}" is used to start the MongoDB server with database profiling enabled.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "mongod" is the executable file for the MongoDB server.
  • "--profile" is a MongoDB server option that specifies the level of database profiling to be enabled. Database profiling is a feature that allows you to track and analyze the performance of database queries and operations.
  • "${select}" is a placeholder for a value that needs to be provided when running the command. It represents the profiling level to be set. The value for "${select}" should be selected based on your profiling needs:
    • "0" disables profiling completely.
    • "1" enables a slow operation profiler. This records the slowest operations.
    • "2" enables both the slow operation profiler and the all operations profiler. This records all the operations.

For example, if you want to start the MongoDB server with slow operation profiling enabled, you would run the command "mongod --profile 1".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
