afmongodb [1]
The afmongodb module has only one driver, that is the mongodb() destination driver. The mongodb() driver sends messages to a MongoDB database.
The syslog-ng OSE mongodb() driver is compatible with MongoDB server version 1.4 and newer. Using mongo() without any parameters uses the following default values:
destination d_mongodb {
mongodb(
uri("mongodb://localhost:27017/syslog")
collection("messages")
value-pairs(
scope("selected-macros" "nv-pairs" "sdata")
)
);
};
Architecture | Status |
x86 | Works |
ARM | Works |
From the default values, we can see that mongodb() driver sends the messages to a database named syslog, so to test this driver we first need to set up mongodb to receive these messages.
To do so,
- Install MongoDB
- Create a database called syslog by entering the command:
mongosh syslog
- Set up the database like so:
db.createCollection( "messages", { capped: true, size: 100000000 } )
- Once the messages have been transmitted, to view us:
db.messages.find().pretty()
@version: 3.31
@include "scl.conf"
source custom
{
example-msg-generator(
num(50)
freq(2)
template("Random Message")
);
};
destination d_mongodb {
mongodb();
};
log {
source(custom);
destination(d_mongodb);
};
