What is the mongoDB idle connection timeout setting at DB level?

Question

We are using php, mongodb v 2.6.10, we have not set connection pool. We want to set connection pool at server level.
Presently we are creating a new connections every time, when application talk to database. When our no of connection reach to 400, our db performance impact so badly, and query time increase up to 4 times.

Answer 1

As at version 3.2, MongoDB does not support idle connection timeout at DB level. You can find all available options in Configuration File Options.

On the other hand, MongoDB supports idle connection timeout on a client basis, please refer to ‘maxIdleTimeMS’ on Connection String URI Format. Please also note that this option is not supported by all drivers and you should check relevant driver’s manual.
