  1. Installed percona-server-mongodb-3.0.10-1.5-r376fb62-trusty-amd64 on a Ubuntu 14.04 server.

  2. After the installation, the dpkg check (dpkg -l | grep percona) shows the following:
    ii percona-server-mongodb 3.0.10-1.5.trusty amd64 This metapackage will install the mongo shell, import/export tools, other client utilities, server software, default configuration, and init.d scripts.
    ii percona-server-mongodb-dbg 3.0.10-1.5.trusty amd64 Debugging package for Percona Server for MongoDB
    ii percona-server-mongodb-mongos 3.0.10-1.5.trusty amd64 This package contains mongos - the Percona Server for MongoDB sharded cluster query router
    ii percona-server-mongodb-server 3.0.10-1.5.trusty amd64 This package contains the Percona Server for MongoDB server software, default configuration files and init.d scripts
    ii percona-server-mongodb-shell 3.0.10-1.5.trusty amd64 This package contains the Percona Server for MongoDB shell
    ii percona-server-mongodb-tools 3.0.10-1.5.trusty amd64 Mongo tools for high-performance MongoDB fork from Percona

  3. The followling lines are in /etc/init.d/mongod:

Start the process using the wrapper

/usr/bin/percona-server-mongodb-helper.sh

  1. “sudo service mongod start” launches “/usr/bin/mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf”

  2. mongo db.version() shows 3.0.10-1.5

Question: How to verify that percona-server is running, as the following checks don’t provide any information related to percona:

  1. ps -ef | grep percona
  2. grep -i percona /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

PSMDB = mongodb plus PerconaFT/Rocksdb storage engine

On the surface, it was still a mongodb.

ps -ef |grep mongod
