Description

With Show_Task_Detail=1, console commands such as show tasks return additional detail – for example, individual sub-threads of the router, index tasks, or replicator – instead of the aggregated overview. This makes it easier to analyze which specific worker is currently processing which database.
In normal operation the detailed view produces slightly more output but is harmless and can be left enabled permanently.

Example configuration

Show_Task_Detail=1

Notes & pitfalls

  • Only affects the display, not the behavior of the tasks themselves.
  • For automated console parsers, check the output format up front.
  • Combines well with DEBUG_THREADID=1 for multithread diagnostics.
  • The change only takes effect after a server restart.
  • The server console command show tasks only shows a compact view regardless of this setting.
