Get size of a collection in bytes

Question

Is there a query to get the size in bytes of a collection? I would like to know how much storage space a certain collection needs.

Answer 1

You may call the collection api on a single server or a cluster's coordinator like so:

<endpoint>/_db/<database>/_api/collection/<collection>/figures

In arangosh connected to again a single server or cluster's coordinator endpoint

> db._useDatabase("<database>");
> db.<collection>.figures();
