Does mongoengine provide any method for checking whether the connection is ok?

ChatGPT gives me these codes, but looks like ping is not callable

from mongoengine import connect, get_connection

# Connect to a MongoDB database
connect('my_database')

# Get the current connection object
connection = get_connection()

# Check the status of the connection
if connection.ping():
    print('Connection is active and working properly')
else:
    print('Connection is not active or is not working properly')

MongoEngine itself doesn't provide this but you can access the underlying Pymongo MongoClient instance with

E.g

from mongoengine import connect, get_db

mongo_client = connect()

# or if you need to get the client from another place in your code
db = get_db()
mongo_client = db.client

try:
    mongo_client.server_info()
    print('Connection is active and working properly')
except ServerSelectionTimeoutError:
    print('Connection is not active or is not working properly')
