How to check query execution time?

I want to compare query execution time between collection that using index and not using index.

You can use the explain() statements for this; they’re covered in M201 among others.

Q1. Say you created a limited data-set to test the various pipeline (say 10 records), would execution time, be able to give an honest reflection of the execution of the pipeline?

Q2. I used the atlas sandbox from M001 to do some tests, however I seem to hit a problem executing.

db.question5data.explain(true).aggregate()

Anyway, if there a setting I need to change on my Atlas sand box to allow this command to run. I appreciate it is a little bit late now, but it would be useful in the next course.
