Hi,

The syslog-ng mongodb driver has a username and a password option ( https://www.balabit.com/sites/default/files/documents/syslog-ng-ose-latest-guides/en/syslog-ng-ose-guide-admin/html/reference-destination-mongodb.html#mongodb-option-password ). For the mongodb side, see https://docs.mongodb.org/v2.6/tutorial/enable-authentication/

HTH,

Robert

Hi all,

Thanks for the answers,
I thought that i have to create first tables and databases etc. But seem like its just writing. Can you give me some tips on how to protect the mongo with Usernames and Password ?

Im using Mongo 2.6.11 with Syslog-NG version 3.8.0alpha0 with LogAnalyzer too. I have installed previous and works perfect with MariaDB, but after some time start to eat mu CPU and RAM so i decide to go with Mongo etc.


Kind regards
Ivan

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



2. start mongodb

root@a3e9571e39eb:/# mongod --bind_ip 172.17.0.2


3. build & configure

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
> db.test.find({'PROGRAM':'stentor'})

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
