Hello,
I have integration working fine between syslog-ng v3.38 and MongoDB v6. I am working to enable MongoDB Time-Series Collections on a testing DB for the purpose of having better efficiency and improved queries over time.
I created the DB and collection, tested it by Mongo Compass client, then I tried to send the data from syslog-ng but it didn't work. MongoDB is throwing the following error:
"17:12:57. 483 | [2023-08-06T17:12:57.355549] Failed to insert into MongoDB; time_reopen='10', reason='\'datetime\' must be present and contain a valid BSON UTC datetime value', driver='d_mongodb_ttl#0"
My
understanding is that it is a must to send
the time/date to MongoDB with Time Series enabled DB a BSON format Date. Any suggestions?
Below is the mongoDB destination config:
destination d_mongodb_ttl {
mongodb(
uri("mongodb://
192.168.1.19:27017/syslog-ng_ttl")
collection("logs")
value-pairs(
scope("selected-macros")
exclude("SOURCEIP")
exclude("TAGS")
pair("datetime" "${S_ISODATE}")
pair("privateip" "${privateip}")
pair("publicip" "${publicip}")
pair("publicportrange" "${publicportrange}")
pair("portaction" "${AI}")
pair("portstatus" "${AL}")
pair("host" "${HOST}"))
);
};
Appreciate your help
