Question

I can see the statistics from Mongo shell as

db.stats()

or

db.collection_name.stats()

How do I view statistics of a database, or of a collection, from PHP and Python.

EDIT:
I have done it in PHP but still cant do it in Python.

Help?

This is how you do it in Python if you are using the PyMongo driver:

connection = pymongo.Connection(host = "127.0.0.1", port = 27017)
db = connection["test_db"]
test_collection = db["test_collection"]
db.command("dbstats") # prints database stats for "test_db"
db.command("collstats", "test_collection") # prints collection-level stats for "test_collection" under "test_db".
