      In load  MongoDB log file, we can see a lot of slow queries. Most of them are not using the best index and consequently the best execution plan is not used. However, when I run the same queries by myself in mongo shell, the correct index is used. So why for same query, we don't have same execution plan ?

      Kindly find the log below using wrong index :
