Why mongostat is not defined?

Question

On our Windows 7 x64 machine, we've got mongod up and running:

But when we try to use mongostat, it says it's not defined. Why is it so?

Btw, rest all the other queries are working fine.

Are there any specific configurations which needs to be done?

Answer 1

This is happening because mongostat is not a command you run from the mongo shell, rather it is a separate executable mongostat.exe.

Hence you need to run it from it's own command line as you did mongod.exe and mongo.exe.
