   { name: 'config', sizeOnDisk: Long("212992"), empty: false },
   { name: 'local', sizeOnDisk: Long("2400256"), empty: false },
   { name: 'test', sizeOnDisk: Long("303104"), empty: false }
 ],
 totalSize: Long("3141632"),
 totalSizeMb: Long("2"),
 ok: 1,
 '$clusterTime': {
   clusterTime: Timestamp({ t: 1640186473, i: 1 }),
   signature: {
     hash: Binary(Buffer.from("0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", "hex"), 0),
     keyId: Long("0")
   }
 },
 operationTime: Timestamp({ t: 1640186473, i: 1 })
 }
