db.collection.totalIndexSize()¶ Important
mongoShell MethodThis page documents a
mongomethod. This is not the documentation for database commands or language-specific drivers, such as Node.js. To use the database command, see thetotalIndexSizefield returned by thecollStatscommand.For MongoDB API drivers, refer to the language-specific MongoDB driver documentation.
Returns: The total size of all indexes for the collection. If an index uses prefix compression (which is the
default for WiredTiger), the returned size reflects the compressed size.
