MongoDB records $queryStats operations in the deployment logs. By default, MongoDB only logs the invocation of $queryStats operations, not the operation's output. For $queryStats operations that include the transformIdentifiers option, you can specify whether the transformed output is included in the log entry.

Including $queryStats output in the logs provides more information on specific $queryStats operations, but can negatively impact cluster performance as log updates take more time and resources.

About this Task

When MongoDB logs $queryStats output, the results are redacted and anonymized. $queryStats output does not contain literals or field values.

For an example of transformed $queryStats output, see Transformed Example.

Steps

In the MongoDB Atlas UI, go to the Clusters page for your project.

If it's not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
If it's not already displayed, select your project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.
If it's not already displayed, click Clusters in the sidebar.
The Clusters page displays.
