Example

Note

The native method listed here is for the legacy mongo shell.

To use native methods in mongosh, see Native Methods in mongosh.

setVerboseShell()¶

The setVerboseShell() method configures mongosh to print the duration of each operation.

setVerboseShell() has the form:

copy

setVerboseShell(true)

setVerboseShell() takes one boolean parameter. Specify true or leave the parameter blank to activate the verbose shell. Specify false to deactivate.

Example¶

The following example demonstrates the behavior of the verbose shell:

From mongosh, set verbose shell to true:
copy
```
setVerboseShell(true)
```

With verbose shell set to true, run db.collection.aggregate():

copy

db.restaurants.aggregate(
   [
      { $match: { "borough": "Queens", "cuisine": "Brazilian" } },
      { $group: { "_id": "$address.zipcode" , "count": { $sum: 1 } } }
   ]
);

In addition to returning the results of the operation, mongosh now displays information about the duration of the operation:

copy

{ "_id" : "11377", "count" : 1 }
{ "_id" : "11368", "count" : 1 }
{ "_id" : "11101", "count" : 2 }
{ "_id" : "11106", "count" : 3 }
{ "_id" : "11103", "count" : 1 }
