MongoDB as data source

Ifrit Kiselmann — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 08:30:31 GMT

I use JSON for formatted logging and have good experience using MongoDB to store my logs.
I can search and index for nested properties in JSON.
What do you think about supporting MongoDB as a data source for LogView Plus?

Thank you very much,
I will try to make experience with writing a custom reader.

Hi Ifrit,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am not sure there would be enough demand for full Mongo DB support, but this is something you could write yourself with a Custom Reader. Create a configuration file with the settings you need for DB access (including search criteria) and then use opening the configuration file as the trigger for the reader. This approach is similar to the example provided in the documentation.

We have made API changes in the 3.0 BETA release of LogViewPlus. The BETA release is recommended for all new component development.

Hope that helps,

Toby
