MongoDB WiredTiger Cache OOM Kill
Detects MongoDB Out-Of-Memory (OOM) kill caused by WiredTiger cachepressure. This occurs when the cache fills with dirty pages fasterthan they can be evicted, causing uncontrolled memory growth untilthe OS kills the process.

MongoDB client disconnects and socket exceptions under load
  • Under high client load or resource exhaustion (e.g., 1 CPU, 500MB RAM), MongoDB can begin to log a large number of socket disconnections and broken pipe errors.
  • This results in frequent connection churn, interrupted operations, and possible failed writes.

MongoDB Replica Set Primary Election Failure
Detects high-severity MongoDB replica set primary election failures that result in no primary node being available,causing complete service unavailability. This rule targets catastrophic conditions that break replica set consensus:
  • Primary node failures followed by election timeouts where no secondary can become primary
  • Network partitions isolating replica set members and preventing quorum formation
  • Heartbeat failures and connectivity issues leading to election failures
  • Replica set state transitions indicating election problems

MongoDB Crash Loop Due to WiredTiger Metadata Corruption
Detects MongoDB failures where the server enters a crash loop due to corrupted WiredTiger metadata.This prevents startup and often requires manual repair or restoration from backups.
