Investigate changes in SERVER-42984: Create server statistics for authentication mechanism usage

XMLWordPrintableJSON

      Description

      Downstream Change Summary

      This adds a subsection to the serverStatus.security.authentication.mechanisms[*] section called "authenticate".

      The counters here indicate how many times a given mechanism was used for authentication (received) and how many times that use was successful.

      These numbers are inclusive of speculative authentications.

      See: https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/7250f407321e70bcb76bb1e21a7679670d29919d/src/mongo/db/stats/counters.cpp#L248

      Description of Linked Ticket

      It would be useful to measure the relative usage of the various SASL mechanisms. We should increment relevant metrics counters whenever a mechanism is invoked.
