If I have a mongo instance running how can I check what port numbers it is listening on from the shell I thought that db serverStatus would do it but I don t see it I see this connections current 3 available 816 Which is close but no Suggestions I ve read the docs and can t seem to find any command that will do this

how can I see what ports mongo is listening on from mongo shell?

You can do this from the Operating System shell by running:

sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN | grep mongo
