Mongo Server Health check

[JonW]

How do I check the health of the mongo server from the command line?
We want to run a bit of code on our load balancers to periodically
check if a mongo server is up and healthy.

thx.

mongostat -n 1
is a good start

Is http://host:28017/_status not a reasonable place for a check?  Especially if one can parse the slave or master values in the response?

That would also work well.
Lots of options actually.
