Get the MongoDB server version from node-mongodb-native in node.js

This seems like a really easy thing and I wonder if this is my least clever question here on Stack Overflow.

I would like to figure out the version of the MongoDB server that node-mongodb-native is connected to.

However, I cannot seem to find anything regarding this using google. It's not the same as require('mongodb').version; this holds the node module verion.

You have to use the serverStatus database command to retrieve the version of the mongod or mongos instance you're connected to.

The native node.js driver provides the Admin.serverStatus for that purpose:

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient
var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/test'
var conn = MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {
    var adminDb = db.admin();
    adminDb.serverStatus(function(err, info) {
        console.log(info.version);
    })
})

Displaying on my system:

3.0.2
