pt-mongodb-index-check

Performs checks on MongoDB indexes.

Checks available

Duplicated indexes

Check for indexes that are the prefix of other indexes. For example if we have these 2 indexes

db.getSiblingDB("testdb").test_col.createIndex({"f1": 1, "f2": -1, "f3": 1, "f4": 1}, {"name": "idx_01"});
db.getSiblingDB("testdb").test_col.createIndex({"f1": 1, "f2": -1, "f3": 1}, {"name": "idx_02"});

The index idx_02 is the prefix of idx_01 because it has the same keys in the same order so, idx_02 can be dropped.

Unused indexes.

This check gets the $indexstats for all indexes and reports those having accesses.ops = 0.
