My main feature to add (aside from the two you mentioned already on the roadmap) would be a way to use the keys from a patterndb database so that the db and collection in Mongo stay the same, but the key names change with every patterndb rule. That's really the big payoff with Mongo-- you don't have to define a rigid schema, so you don't have to know the column names ahead of time. That's a big deal considering that the patterndb can change on the fly. Being confined to predefined templates in the config limits the potential.
This is why I asked in my earlier mail if it's possible to set up the mongo driver to log all vars in a message or a subset of vars in a message. I was hoping it'd be possible for the schema to change somewhat dynamically based on what's present in the messages. Matthew.
