About this Hands-on Lab

In this lab, students are asked to check the replication lag of a MongoDB replica set. Replication lag is the amount of time for data written to the primary to be replicated to the secondary members of a replica set. After completing this lab, students will have hands-on experience checking the lag of a MongoDB replica set.

Learning Objectives

Successfully complete this lab by achieving the following learning objectives:

Find Primary Member

Connect to any member and check the replica set status to determine the primary member. To obtain the most current status for your replica set, you should check the status on the primary.

Check Replica Status

Connect to primary member and check secondary member status. Insert a new document and confirm replication.
