Determine open files (file descriptors) for all processes by a user

watch 'lsof -u bws | awk '\''{print $2}'\'' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n'

Check iowait and disk stats

Use sar (which you will have had to install and enable previously) or…

Create CSV from data in MongoDB

Please note that this requires jq 1.5 or greater for the join feature

First, create a js file “myquery.js” containing the query you would like to run

1
2
3

use mydatabase
db.getMongo().setSlaveOk()
printjson( db.users.find({}, { _id: 1, hashpass: 1 }).toArray() )

This sets the database to mydatabase, lets us read from a slave in a replicaset (only do

this if you are using a replicaset), then finds all records in the users collection, only

selecting the _id and converting it to an array

To execute this script against your DB from the command line, you would then do something like

1

mongo < myquery.js > user_list.json

First, remove the extra data thats been added before and after the []’s in the output file so it is valid json

Then parse the json data and convert it to a CSV

1

cat user_list.json | jq -r '. | map([._id, .hashpass] | join(", ")) | join("\n")' > user_emails_hashpass.csv

The last step is to add a header to your CSV file “` sed -i “Email Address, Hashpass” user_emails_hashpass.csv

LVM Notes

To import a Logical Volume that was not exported before being removed from a host, you can use

vgchange -ay

to import the LV again. You will likely have to run pvscan and vgscan before doing this.
