What is skew value in Mongo DB Database replication?

  • 772

I have just started the three MongoDB replica servers.

  • I do not understand what is this screw value what it should be on which server?
  • Which values should I monitor

  • I have taken 2 screenshots shown below for Primary Mongo DB Server, Secondary Mongo DB Server & Arbiter Mongo DB Server respectively.

               ## Primary Mongo DB Server --- Location : Singapore ##

    enter image description here

           ## Secondary Mongo DB Server --- Location : North Virginia ##

    enter image description here

               ## Arbiter Mongo DB Server --- Location : Singapore ##

    enter image description here

As far as I understand they are in sync very well and all of them are AWS Instances.

  1. I need to know how and what should I monitor?
  2. What kind of maintenance activities should I do & how?

Please feel free to let me know if you need any further info. Thanks in advance!!

    The "skew" column represents how skewed each host perceives the others' system clocks to be relative to its own.

    If you're running a version 2.0 or later of MongoDB, these numbers are just for your information and not something to worry about — the servers are aware of the skew and will compensate for it. (See https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-3132 for gory details.)
