The shell prompt shows you the replica set name and server state: songza:SECONDARY> It would be useful if it also showed you the replica role. For example, we use "production" and "reporting" roles. Ad-hoc expensive queries we want to make sure only get done against the reporting member. Adding the role to the prompt would help recognize that you've connected to the proper host: songza:SECONDARY/reporting> |

Feel free to write your own prompt to do that. |

Ugh, after posting this, I realized it made no sense. The roles I was speaking of are locally applied tags. |

Where would this "role" come from? You can customize the prompt any way you like by just writing a little JS: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/faq/mongo/#how-can-i-customize-the-mongo-shell-prompt |
