visualize log files with different types of plots (requires matplotlib)
mlaunch
a script to quickly spin up local test environments, including replica sets and sharded systems (requires pymongo)

Requirements and Installation Instructions

The mtools collection is written in Python, and most of the tools only use the standard packages shipped with Python. The tools are currently tested with Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9.

Some of the tools have additional dependencies, which are listed under the specific tool's section. See the installation instructions for more information.

The mtools suite is only tested with actively supported (non End-of-Life) versions of the MongoDB server. As of January 2021, that includes MongoDB 3.6 or newer.
