Mongodb Output Configuration Options

edit

This plugin supports the following configuration options plus the Common Options described later.

Setting	Input type	Required
`bulk`	boolean	No
`bulk_interval`	number	No
`bulk_size`	number	No
`collection`	string	Yes
`database`	string	Yes
`generateId`	boolean	No
`isodate`	boolean	No
`retry_delay`	number	No
`uri`	string	Yes

Also see Common Options for a list of options supported by all output plugins.

`bulk`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

Bulk insert flag, set to true to allow bulk insertion, else it will insert events one by one.

`bulk_interval`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 2

Bulk interval, Used to insert events periodically if the "bulk" flag is activated.

`bulk_size`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 900

Bulk events number, if the number of events to insert into a collection raise that limit, it will be bulk inserted whatever the bulk interval value (mongodb hard limit is 1000).

`collection`

edit

This is a required setting.
Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

The collection to use. This value can use %{foo} values to dynamically select a collection based on data in the event.

`database`

edit

This is a required setting.
Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

The database to use.

`generateId`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

If true, an "_id" field will be added to the document before insertion. The "_id" field will use the timestamp of the event and overwrite an existing "_id" field in the event.

`isodate`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is false

If true, store the @timestamp field in MongoDB as an ISODate type instead of an ISO8601 string. For more information about this, see http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Dates.

`retry_delay`

edit

Value type is number
Default value is 3

The number of seconds to wait after failure before retrying.

`uri`

edit

This is a required setting.
Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

A MongoDB URI to connect to. See http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/.

Common Options

edit

The following configuration options are supported by all output plugins:

Setting	Input type	Required
`codec`	codec	No
`enable_metric`	boolean	No
`id`	string	No

`codec`

edit

Value type is codec
Default value is "plain"

The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.

`enable_metric`

edit

Value type is boolean
Default value is true

Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance. By default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.

`id`

edit

Value type is string
There is no default value for this setting.

Add a unique ID to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one. It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful when you have two or more plugins of the same type. For example, if you have 2 mongodb outputs. Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.

output {
  mongodb {
    id => "my_plugin_id"
  }
}

Variable substitution in the id field only supports environment variables and does not support the use of values from the secret store.
