# MongoDB Tools - **bsondump** - _display BSON files in a human-readable format_ - **mongoimport** - _Convert data from JSON, TSV or CSV and insert them into a collection_ - **mongoexport** - _Write an existing collection to CSV or JSON format_ - **mongodump/mongorestore** - _Dump MongoDB backups to disk in .BSON format, or restore them to a live database_ - **mongostat** - _Monitor live MongoDB servers, replica sets, or sharded clusters_ - **mongofiles** - _Read, write, delete, or update files in [GridFS](http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/gridfs/)_ - **mongotop** - _Monitor read/write activity on a mongo server_ Report any bugs, improvements, or new feature requests at https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/TOOLS ## Building Tools We currently build the tools with Go version 1.15. Other Go versions may work but they are untested. Using `go get` to directly build the tools will not work. To build them, it's recommended to first clone this repository: ``` git clone https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools cd mongo-tools ``` Then run `./make build` to build all the tools, placing them in the `bin` directory inside the repository. Run `./bin/mongodump --help` to verify that the built binary works. You can also build a subset of the tools using the `-pkgs` option. For example, `./make build -pkgs=mongodump,mongorestore` builds only `mongodump` and `mongorestore`. To use the build/test scripts in this repository, you **_must_** set GOROOT to your Go root directory. This may depend on how you installed Go. ``` export GOROOT=/usr/local/go ``` ### Mac OS only: When running the built binaries, if the process gets killed immediately and you see the following output: `zsh: killed ./bin/mongodump --help` Then you need to sign the binary in order to run it: `codesign --force --sign - bin/mongodump` You can also choose to configure the security policy of the terminal application so that signing is not required: (in macOS Sonoma) System Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Tools ## Updating Dependencies Starting with version 100.3.1, the tools use `go mod` to manage dependencies. All dependencies are listed in the `go.mod` file and are directly vendored in the `vendor` directory. In order to make changes to dependencies, you first need to change the `go.mod` file. You can manually edit that file to add/update/remove entries, or you can run the following in the repository directory: ``` go mod edit -require=<package>@<version> # for adding or updating a dependency go mod edit -droprequire=<package> # for removing a dependency ``` Then run `go mod vendor -v` to reconstruct the `vendor` directory to match the changed `go.mod` file. Optionally, run `go mod tidy -v` to ensure that the `go.mod` file matches the `mongo-tools` source code. ## Contributing See our [Contributor's Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md). ## Documentation See the MongoDB packages [documentation](https://docs.mongodb.org/database-tools/). For documentation on older versions of the MongoDB, reference that version of the [MongoDB Server Manual](docs.mongodb.com/manual): - [MongoDB 4.2 Tools](https://docs.mongodb.org/v4.2/reference/program) - [MongoDB 4.0 Tools](https://docs.mongodb.org/v4.0/reference/program) - [MongoDB 3.6 Tools](https://docs.mongodb.org/v3.6/reference/program) ## Adding New Platforms Support See our [Adding New Platform Support Guide](PLATFORMSUPPORT.md).
