In Get Size Stats for a Collection, we
saw how to use db.collection.stats()
and its scale
parameter to get a
useful size metric for a given collection.
We can combine some of this concepts with some scripting to list human-readable size metrics for all of our database's collections:
> db.getCollectionNames().forEach(function (collectionName) {
sizeInMb = db[collectionName].stats({ scale: 1024 * 1024 }).size;
print(collectionName ": " sizeInMb "MB");
})
books: 10MB
authors: 2MB
genres: 1MB
This snippet gets all the collections for the current database and iterates
over them. For each collection name, it looks up the size
stat for that
collection scaled to megabytes and then prints it all out with some contextual
information.
