How do I abort a running query in the MongoDB shell?

Question

I can\'t believe I have to ask this, but how do I stop a query I just ran, which is now running, and will obviously take a very long time to complete in the Mongo shell? C

Answer 1

According to Mongo documentation, you should:

1. Obtain the current operation ID via db.currentOp()
2. Kill opp via db.killOp()

Good example script can be found here.

Answer 2

Based on Alex's answer.

1. Query current running operations:

   db.currentOp()
   

2. Kill the operation based on opid

   db.killOp(30318806)
   

Answer 3

For sharded cluster:

1. db.currentOp()
2. db.killOp("shard_id:opid")

For example:

db.killOp("shard0000:3134616")
