Trivial - P5 Here's the help output (2.4.4, mongodump):
options:
--help produce help message
-v [ --verbose ] be more verbose (include multiple times
for more verbosity e.g. -vvvvv)
--version print the program's version and exit
-h [ --host ] arg mongo host to connect to ( <set
name>/s1,s2 for sets)
--port arg server port. Can also use --host
hostname:port
--ipv6 enable IPv6 support (disabled by
default)
-u [ --username ] arg username
-p [ --password ] arg password
--authenticationDatabase arg user source (defaults to dbname)
--authenticationMechanism arg (=MONGODB-CR)
authentication mechanism
--dbpath arg directly access mongod database files
in the given path, instead of
connecting to a mongod server - needs
to lock the data directory, so cannot
be used if a mongod is currently
accessing the same path
--directoryperdb each db is in a separate directly
(relevant only if dbpath specified)
--journal enable journaling (relevant only if
dbpath specified)
-d [ --db ] arg database to use
-c [ --collection ] arg collection to use (some commands)
--objcheck validate object before inserting
(default)
--noobjcheck don't validate object before inserting
--filter arg filter to apply before inserting
--drop drop each collection before import
--oplogReplay replay oplog for point-in-time restore
--oplogLimit arg include oplog entries before the
provided Timestamp (seconds[:ordinal])
during the oplog replay; the ordinal
value is optional
--keepIndexVersion don't upgrade indexes to newest version
--noOptionsRestore don't restore collection options
--noIndexRestore don't restore indexes
--w arg (=0) minimum number of replicas per write
Note the authenticationMechanism line. If we move the default value to a note (the same as dbname in the line above it) you get this:
