MongoDB Compass Aggregate Count | In 6 Steps

by | Apr 22, 2024

Let’s see the details of using aggregate count with MongoDB Compass. Bobcares, as a part of our Server Management Service offers solutions to every query that comes our way.

Aggregate Count with MongoDB Compass

MongoDB has a graphical user interface (GUI) tool called MongoDB Compass, which lets users interact visually with MongoDB databases. It enables the running of aggregate pipelines in addition to its primary focus on data exploration and CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) activities.

MongoDB Compass offers an easy-to-use interface for building and running aggregation pipelines, which is useful when we wish to carry out aggregation tasks such as counting documents or computing aggregates based on certain criteria.

Steps Needed

1. Open MongoDB Compass and connect to the MongoDB server.

2. Go to the database and collection containing the documents we want to count in the navigation pane.

3. Click the “Aggregate” button located in the top toolbar. This action opens the visual pipeline builder.

4. In the pipeline builder, click the “+” button to add a new stage. From the list of operators, select “$count”.

5. Once we’ve built the pipeline (potentially with $match and $count), click the “Play” button located in the top right corner.

6. MongoDB Compass will display the results of the aggregation pipeline. If we only used the $count stage, we’ll see a single document with a field named “count” containing the total number of documents in the collection.
