Capture MongoDB traffic
editCapture MongoDB traffic
editThe following settings are specific to the MongoDB protocol. Here is a sample
configuration for the mongodb
section of the packetbeat.yml
config file:
packetbeat.protocols: - type: mongodb send_request: true send_response: true max_docs: 0 max_doc_length: 0
Configuration options
editThe max_docs
and max_doc_length
settings are useful for limiting the amount
of data Packetbeat indexes in the response
fields.
Also see Common protocol options.
max_docs
editThe maximum number of documents from the response to index in the response
field. The
default is 10. You can set this to 0 to index an unlimited number of documents.
Packetbeat adds a [...]
line at the end to signify that there were additional documents
that weren’t saved because of this setting.
max_doc_length
editThe maximum number of characters in a single document indexed in the response
field. The default is 5000. You can set this to 0 to index an unlimited number
of characters per document.
If the document is trimmed because of this setting, Packetbeat adds the string ...
at the end of the document.
Note that limiting documents in this way means that they are no longer correctly formatted JSON objects.
