Missing values for backgroundFlushing/mem in db.serverStatus()

[byzhang]

I know they maybe are not available for TokuMX, but could we add some dummy values to be compatible with some mongodb monitoring tools?

I would imagine most mongodb monitoring tools would have some default value for missing fields (say, 0 for an integer field).

Do you know of any tools that break / behave badly when fields are absent from db.serverStatus()?

Both motop and mtop (listed in http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/administration/monitoring/) are broken. It's hard to say it's TokuMX's fault. Those monitoring tools simply assume the backgroundFlushing/mem keys exist in the output of serverStatus. I'm not sure how about other monitoring tools though.

Thanks, -B
