Capped collections are fixed-size collections that support high-throughput operations that insert and retrieve documents based on insertion order. In order to set max on mongo capped collection, use the following syntaxdb.createCollection("yourCollectionName", {capped:true, size:yourSizeValue, max:yourMaxValue});Let us implement the above syntax in order to set max on mongo capped collection. Following is the query> db.createCollection("setMaxDemo", {capped:true, size:948575757, max:2000});This will produce the following output{ "ok" : 1 }You can now get all information about the above collection> db.setMaxDemo.stats();This will produce the following output{    "ns" : "test.setMaxDemo",    "size" : 0,    "count" : 0,    "storageSize" : 4096,    "capped" : true, ...
