mongoError Topology was destroyed

Question

I have a REST service built in node js with Restify and Mongoose and a mongoDB with a collection with about 30 000 regular sized documents  I have my node service running through pmx and pm2   Yesterday  suddenly  node started crapping out errors with the message  MongoError  Topology was destroyed   nothing more  I have no idea what is meant by this and what could have possibly triggered this  there is also not much to be found when google-searching this  So I thought I d ask here   After restarting the node service today  the errors stopped coming in  I also have one of these running in production and it scares me that this could happen at any given time to a pretty crucial part of the setup running there     I m using the following versions of the mentioned packages    mongoose  4 0 3 restify  3 0 3 node  0 10 25

In my case  this error was caused by an identical server instance already running background    The weird thing is when I started my server without notice there s one running already  the console didn t show anything like  something is using port xxx   I could even upload something to the server  So  it took me quite long to locate this problem   What s more  after closing all the applications I can imagine  I still could not find the process which is using this port in my Mac s activity monitor  I have to use lsof to trace  The culprit was not surprising - it s a node process  However  with the PID shown in the terminal  I found the port number in the monitor is different from the one used by my server   All in all  kill all the node processes may solve this problem directly

I was struggling with this for some time - As you can see from other answers  the issue can be very different    The easiest way to find out whats causing is this is to turn on loggerLevel   info  in the options

This error is due to mongo driver dropping the connection for any reason  server was down for example    By default mongoose will try to reconnect for 30 seconds then stop retrying and throw errors forever until restarted    You can change this by editing these 2 fields in the connection options  mongoose connect uri         server                sets how many times to try reconnecting         reconnectTries  Number MAX VALUE             sets the delay between every retry  milliseconds          reconnectInterval  1000                        connection options documentation

Just a minor addition to Gaafar s answer  it gave me a deprecation warning  Instead of on the server object  like this   MongoClient connect MONGO URL        server            reconnectTries  Number MAX VALUE          reconnectInterval  1000             It can go on the top level object  Basically  just take it out of the server object and put it in the options object like this   MongoClient connect MONGO URL        reconnectTries  Number MAX VALUE      reconnectInterval  1000

Using mongoose here  but you could do a similar check without it export async function clearDatabase       if  mongoose connection readyState     mongoose connection states disconnected        return Promise resolve         return mongoose connection db dropDatabase      My use case was just tests throwing errors  so if we ve disconnected  I don t run operations

It seems to mean your node server s connection to your MongoDB instance was interrupted while it was trying to write to it   Take a look at the Mongo source code that generates that error  Mongos prototype insert   function ns  ops  options  callback        if typeof options     function   callback   options  options           if this s state    DESTROYED  return callback new MongoError f  topology was destroyed             Topology is not connected  save the call in the provided store to be        Executed at some point when the handler deems it s reconnected     if  this isConnected    amp  amp  this s disconnectHandler    null          callback   bindToCurrentDomain callback         return this s disconnectHandler add  insert   ns  ops  options  callback              executeWriteOperation this s   insert   ns  ops  options  callback       This does not appear to be related to the Sails issue cited in the comments  as no upgrades were installed to precipitate the crash or the  fix

Topology was destroyed  might be caused by mongoose disconnecting before mongo document indexes are created  per this comment  In order to make sure all models have their indexes built before disconnecting  you can   await Promise all mongoose modelNames   map model   gt  mongoose model model  ensureIndexes       await mongoose disconnect

I know that Jason s answer was accepted  but I had the same problem with Mongoose and found that the service hosting my database recommended to apply the following settings in order to keep Mongodb s connection alive in production   var options       server    socketOptions    keepAlive  1  connectTimeoutMS  30000        replset    socketOptions    keepAlive  1  connectTimeoutMS  30000        mongoose connect secrets db  options     I hope that this reply may help other people having  Topology was destroyed  errors

You need to restart mongo to solve the topology error  then just change some options of mongoose or mongoclient to overcome this problem   var mongoOptions         useMongoClient  true      keepAlive  1      connectTimeoutMS  30000      reconnectTries  Number MAX VALUE      reconnectInterval  5000      useNewUrlParser  true    mongoose connect mongoDevString mongoOptions
