MongoDB statistics - mongodb

I'm running a MongoDB instance using a Replica Set, when there are a lot of insert, I can see very weird statistics on faults and locked %.
How come locked % can be more than 100 ?!
Where does the faults happen, I have no logs mentioning any fault, does someone have any clue about what it means ?

Is there a better (standard) monitoring tool, free ?

Not sure about the other two but this could be the answer to your first question, if you are using v2.2:
http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/mongostat/The above page mentions:
locked:
The percent of time in a global write lock.
(Changed in version 2.2: The locked db field replaces the locked % field to more appropriate data regarding the database specific locks in version 2.2)
locked db:
New in version 2.2.
The percent of time in the per-database context-specific lock. mongostat will report the database that has spent the most time since the last mongostat call with a write lock.
This value represents the amount of time the database had a database specific lock and the time that the mongod spent in the global lock. Because of this, and the sampling method, you may see some values greater than 100%.

MongoDB: Increasing read speed on a single machine

I use MongoDB to store price events for stocks. Depending on what you want to screen, the number of event can rapidly grow to 1Go-2Go.
I run MongoDB on a single machine and it is taking longer and longer to load the data. I am not able to find a clear answer on the web if "sharding on a single server" is a benefit to read speed.
Is it the right path to increase the read speed?

Why does mongostat show a non-existent database (Mongo 2.2)?

when we run the show dbs command, the x-development database doesn't appear.

local 0.203125GB
p-development 0.203125GB
p-production 3.9521484375GB

we want to make sure this database isn't taking server resources, but mongostat keeps listing it. why does this happen if the database doesn't exist?

It don't think it's strange or wrong that mongo chooses to retain statistics of a deleted database. After all they are statistics.
Deleting the database does not change the fact that you ran queries against it before.

MongoDB replica set on a single machine for better reads?

I have a single mongod (2.0.2) running on a (Intel Xeon 8 core 2.1 Ghz, 32 GB RAM) server. Here are some sample stats from mongostat (usual normal calm day):

But sometimes when there are 500-600 users online (I store visit counters in Mongo, so there are a lot of updates when visitors come) queries jump up to ~500 per second and read queue grows quickly and stays at around 40-50 for few minutes which makes scripts time out.
Can adding a replica set member on the same machine (I don't have any more physical servers) help me? I want to set the read preference to point to the secondary member so that writes on the primary instance do not block the reads.

"netIn" in mongostat output

I have wrote a test script which did millions of updates(using update query) in a collection. Following is the mongostat output
insert query update delete getmore command flushes mapped vsize res faults locked % idx miss % qr|qw ar|aw netIn netOut conn time

The netIn says the total network in bytes per second, i hope. Is there any way to increase the size of netIn to some mb, so that i can increase the update statement per second.
I don't think you understand the netIn statistic. It isn't some limit but the actual amount of data received by MongoDB per interval sample. In other words, the netIn value will increase if you (can) do more updates.
Increasing update throughput itself may be possible but is very application specific.

Memcached using more than max memory

i have an installation on memcache which i want to use in my production environment but when i have ran a couple of tests it seems that memcache doesn't free up memory even after it has used up all of it allocated memory, Also i logged in and ran a flush_all command but the objects are still in the cache.
Here are outputs from some tests

-m tells memcached how much RAM to use for item storage (in megabytes). Note
carefully that this isn't a global
memory limit, so memcached will use a
few % more memory than you tell it to.
Set this to safe values. Setting it to
less than 48 megabytes does not work
properly in 1.4.x and earlier. It will
still use the memory.
