MongoDB healthcheck

Run performant and efficient MongoDB healthchecks without using the mongosh command. The mongo command line tool was marked as deprecated and removed since version 6. As a replacement mongosh was introduced, which is too inefficient for healthchecks.

Introduction

The command connects to the specified database and executes a ping command comparable to mongosh --eval="db.adminCommand(\"ping\")".

$ ./mongo-healthcheck --help
Usage of ./mongo-healthcheck:
  -uri string
    	MongoDB connection string (default "mongodb://localhost:27017")
