When i try to restart mongodb service from services.msc, nodejs server is crashing with this error: enter image description here OR enter image description here

My code looks like this

_client = await MongoClient.connect(this._config.connectionString, {
          useNewUrlParser: true,
          useUnifiedTopology: true,
          reconnectTries: 60,
          reconnectInterval: 1000,
          keepAlive: true,
          autoReconnect: true,
        });

What ever i do, im not able to catch this exception there fore my node server is crashing. Is there a way to catch this reliably? To answer a question, why i'm trying this scenario: Sometimes our deployed server is losing connection(to mongoDB) in the cloud and ending up crashing and kick starting new pod in aks.

I'm using mongodb driver, not mongoose.

node.js mongodb

You can pass autoReconnect : false as one of the options in configuration. Documentation link
