Percona Server for MongoDB Parameter Tuning Guide

Percona Server for MongoDB includes several parameters that can be changed in one of the following ways:

=== Configuration file”

 Use the `setParameter` admonitions in the configuration file
 for persistent changes in production:

 ```yaml
 setParameter:
   <parameter>: <value>
 ```

Use the --setParameter command line option arguments when running the mongod process for development or testing purposes: 

$ mongod \
 --setParameter <parameter>=<value>

Use the setParameter command on the admin database to make changes at runtime: 

> db = db.getSiblingDB('admin')
> db.runCommand( { setParameter: 1, <parameter>: <value> } )

Parameters
