flushRouterConfig

flushRouterConfig

flushRouterConfig clears the cached routing table. Use this command to force a refresh of the routing table cache. In most cases, this happens automatically. You should only need to run flushRouterConfig after movePrimary has been run or after manually clearing the jumbo chunk flag.

• Starting in MongoDB 3.6.11, flushRouterConfig is available on both mongos instances and mongod instances and can:

  • Flush the cache for a specified collection when passed in a collection namespace parameter:

    copy

    db.adminCommand({ flushRouterConfig: "<db.collection>" } )
    

  • Flush the cache for a specified database and its collections when passed in a database namespace parameter:

    copy

    db.adminCommand({ flushRouterConfig: "<db>" } )
    

  • Flush the cache for all databases and their collections when run without a parameter or passed in a non-string scalar value (e.g. 1):

    copy

    db.adminCommand("flushRouterConfig")
    db.adminCommand( { flushRouterConfig: 1 } )
    

• In MongoDB 3.6.10 and earlier, flushRouterConfig is only available for mongos instances and can flush the cache for all databases and their collections:

  copy

  db.adminCommand("flushRouterConfig")
  db.adminCommand( { flushRouterConfig: 1 } )
