I am running mongod as standalone server .now i want to enable oplog for it ,i want to know whether it is possible or not ?
I knew I can do this by creating single node ReplicaSet ,but I want to do this without replica set .
I got a reply from the MongoDb Team, and it's working fine.
To enable oplog on a standalone server, start mongo with master options.
On command line start mongod --master.
For conf file append the following line:
master=true
More details here.
For mongo 2.6 or greater the /etc/mongod.conf now uses a yaml format.
To enable the oplog add something similar to the below, note the replication: line may already exist, be sure to use spaces.
replication:
replSetName: rs0
oplogSizeMB: 100

I have few mongoDB instances running as replication set. For each of them, I have prepared configuration file with replSetName, so starting mongo by mongod without -replSet is still adding it to replication set. But, to maintenance instance, I need to run it with replSet disabled - is it possible to override replSetName from configuration by some mongod parameter (like mongod -port, which overrides port: from conf file)
Simple answer is no...
When I need to start node to maintenance mode, I have "ready made string" on my "notepad++" what includes all needed parameters as command line parameters (of course different port number) to bring node up without --replSet..
I am using mongo v3.2 - I already have the config replica set as well as two shard replica sets running. When I try to launch the mongos (query router) with the test config file setting below, I get the error copied below - any ideas on how to fix this?
sharding:
configDB: config-set0/127.0.0.1:27019,127.0.0.1:27020,127.0.0.1:27021
error
Unrecognized option: sharding.configDB
I can see this setting in the mongodb docs at the URL below:
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/deploy-shard-cluster/
Ensure that the process is being launched as mongos and not mongod if the intent is to run the process as a query router (and not a config server or a shard).
Use this command to start the mongos.
sudo mongos -f <-- location of conf file -->
I am new to mongodb and am looking into the concept of replication .
Can u please help if u are aware of this error.
The error I got
The config file I am using
Thanks in advance,

Its because you're passing in config to the rs.initiate function.
Before you run the initiate you need to start the different mongod instances which will make up the replicaset. Then run rs.initiate() on one of the nodes (without and args). You can then do rs.add(<host:port>) to add the nodes making up the rs.
There are some excellent tutorials available for setting up replicasets. This one is a good starting point:
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/deploy-replica-set/
It provides step-by-step instructions for starting the necessary mongod instances, and linking them as a replicaset in the mongoshell
you need to start all mongod instances with following command which include replica set name, other way is to create entries in config file and pass it to mongod process :
mongod --replSet "Tarun"
then you can initiate : rs.initiate() with your config file
I have installed mongo db in my local system, i am aware that at any point in time we can start the mongo using mongod service.
in normal mode which will run on port 27017
in rest API mode where we can query to collections and db's which normally runs on mongo port + 1000
i want to start both mode together, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You should add modify your mongod config file to enable http.
add following config line, see https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/
net:
http:
enabled: true
or add parameter in the command line
mongod --httpinterface
You can start multiple instances of mongod. You just have to make sure that they're using different ports and different dbpaths.
To run two separate instances of mongod
mongod
This will start a mongod instance on port 27017 and use dbpath /data/db
Start another command prompt and type in
mongod --port 27018 --dbpath /data/db2
Just make sure that you have a folder named db2 inside your data folder in your c drive. That's where it stores the data.
Additionally, if you're on Node.js, the MongoDB Node.js driver provides a server method where you can start a mongod instance programatically.
var mongo = require("mongodb");
var server = new mongo.Server('localhost', 27017, { auto_reconnect : true} );
This will create a server in what you are calling the Rest API mode.
And then you can simply start mongod from command prompt specifying some other port and dbpath.
I'm not sure which we can start two instance of mondo or not!. but try this:
Run one of then through service mongod start and second one directly by running binary file (e.g. /usr/bin/mondodb). (also you can run both of them directly from CLI.)
In second mode, you most give appropriate parameter for mondo (e.g. path for config file). If you don't know how to give/pass parameters to mondo's binary file, see man mongodb or go and read /etc/init.d/mongod (in Debian based distributions), it give you useful information)
Unfortunately I don't have an installed mongoDB on my machine, so I can't give you exact commands.
Is it possible to start mongod (using systemctl) with --master flag?
I want to use the oplog file to watch for data changes. I know this should be used with replicas set, but on my development machine I don't need any replicas set.
Yes, there is an option to enable oplog on standalone mongod. All you need to do is start mongod with --master option. Or if you have a config file add the entry master=true.
This option will ensure that oplog will be created, but unlike a replica set there will not be any secondary instances of mongod which will read it and apply it to their local databases.
