I would like to have mongodb support with auth enabled. With syslog-ng-OSE 3.3.5 this seems not supported?
Indeed, 3.3.5 does not support that. The settings are accepted, as basic support was once in the driver, but for various reasons, was turned off.
ATM I have no luck with 3.4.0alpha3 and mongodb (even without auth). But what I'm interested in, is to know if "mongodb with auth" will be supported in the 3.4 release?
Hopefully, yes, it will be supported by 3.4, once I get around to write the code to do it (or find someone who's willing to write it ;).
Or what future plans exists?
I plan to write auth support for 3.4. It's not particularly hard (the library syslog-ng uses to talk to mongodb supports auth already), one just has to be careful to properly handle reconnects and failovers when using replicasets. That is something neither syslog-ng, nor the library under it does well. If anyone wants to add that feature themselves, I'm happy to explain the code, and how it can be added - but at the moment, I lack the time to write the code myself. -- |8]
