What happens when MongoDB goes down?

Connection timeouts and failures

Applications may fail to connect, get 'MongoNetworkError' messages, or time out when Atlas is experiencing issues.

Cluster performance degradation

Queries may become slow, operations time out, or clusters show high latency during platform instability.

Atlas API errors

Management API calls may return 500/503 errors, preventing cluster operations or configuration changes.

Backup and restore failures

Automated backups may fail, snapshots become inaccessible, or restore operations time out during outages.

How do I troubleshoot MongoDB issues?

1
Check MongoDB Atlas dashboard
View cluster metrics, connection stats, and alerts in the Atlas Console to identify service-specific issues.
2
Test with MongoDB Shell
Use mongosh to test direct connectivity and isolate network vs database issues.
3
Verify connection string
Ensure your connection string is correct and check for IP whitelist or authentication configuration issues.
4
Check cluster region
MongoDB outages can be region-specific. Verify if the issue affects your cluster's specific region.
5
Monitor via Atlas API
Use MongoDB Atlas API to programmatically check cluster health and automate incident detection.

What is MongoDB's current status?

API Status Check tracks MongoDB status with official status page links, community outage reports, and incident history so you can confirm outages quickly.

Official MongoDB status, in one place
API Status Check links the official MongoDB status page and keeps a history of reported incidents. We do not run our own probes against MongoDB yet.
Reported incident history
Review previously reported incidents and outage patterns to understand MongoDB stability.
Alerts for the APIs we monitor
Alert Pro emails cover the 60+ APIs we poll every hour. MongoDB is not one of them yet, so subscribe to its official status page for incident notices.
