NetWitness MongoDB 5.0 uses AVX Intstruction set for mongod,mongos and legacy mongo shell

Issue

NetWitness Platform 12.4 Release supports MongoDB 5.0 version and above. In MongoDB 5.0 and above version, the mongod, mongos, and the legacy Mongo shell no longer support x86_64 platforms which do not meet this minimum micro-architecture requirement. Please apply this resolution before upgrading to 12.4 version.

Cause

MongoDB 5.0 requires use of the AVX instruction set.

Resolution

Please check if AVX flag is enabled in the system using the below command.

lscpu | grep avx

Example with avx enabled:

#lscpu | grep avx
