MongoDB Error 202: Network Operation Timed Out
Description
This error indicates that a network operation initiated by MongoDB, such as connecting to another instance or processing a client request, failed to complete within the configured time limit. It typically points to underlying network issues, high latency, or an unresponsive remote host preventing timely communication.
Error Message
Network Interface Exceeded Time Limit
Known Causes
4 known causesHigh Network Latency or Congestion
Excessive delay or congestion on the network path between MongoDB components or between MongoDB and its clients causes operations to exceed their time limits.
Firewall or Security Group Blocks
Firewalls, security groups, or network ACLs might be intermittently or completely blocking necessary MongoDB ports, leading to connection timeouts.
Unresponsive Remote Host
The remote MongoDB instance or client that MongoDB is trying to communicate with might be overloaded, crashed, or otherwise unresponsive, causing operations to time out.
Insufficient Timeout Settings
MongoDB's configured network timeout settings (e.g., `networkMessageTimeoutSecs`) might be too aggressive for the network environment, leading to premature timeouts.
