Hi, which syslog-ng do you use and which mongodb? Previous syslog-ng versions supports only the 2.x mongodb series, 3.2.x series is supported only by the syslog-ng upstream (version 3.8). We moved to the official mongo-c library and -temporary- broke the configuration (we have a PR[1] that will support the previous config format - we will merge this soon). Until we won't merge the patch, you can use the new config options. So if you want to use the 3.2.x mongodb, you have to compile syslog-ng from source. Small tutorial: 1. docker: install mongodb 3.2.5 https://docs.mongodb.org/master/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/?_ga=1.19... 2. start mongodb root@a3e9571e39eb:/# mongod --bind_ip 172.17.0.2 3. build & configure git clone https://github.com/balabit/syslog-ng cd syslog-ng ./autogen.sh cd .. mkdir build cd build ../syslog-ng/configure --prefix /opt/syslog-ng.upstream make make install [if you need help on howto compile syslog-ng, we can help] /opt/syslog-ng.upstream/etc/syslog-ng.conf: @version: 3.8 @include "scl.conf" source s_network { network(port(5555)); }; destination d_mongo { mongodb ( uri('mongodb://172.17.0.2:27017/syslog-ng') collection('test') value-pairs( scope("selected-macros" "nv-pairs" "sdata") ) ); }; log { source(s_network); destination(d_mongo); flags(flow-control); }; 4. send logs stentor@T440s:~$ logger -s MSG:$RANDOM 2>&1 | nc localhost 5555 5. query the results root@a3e9571e39eb:/# mongo 172.17.0.2/syslog-ng MongoDB shell version: 3.2.5 connecting to: 172.17.0.2/syslog-ng

Hi all, I'm trying to change the DB from InooDB to MongoDB, and i have install the MongoDB but i can't configure/create the database and tables on it. Can some one provide with simple tutorial or the best way to create and configure the MongoDB database and tables so that can be used by syslog-ng ?
Kind regards Ivan
