I'm using the syslog-ng windows client to forward IIS logs to syslog-ng. I'm using the CSV parser to split it into pairs and pick and choose my pairs. I'm not able to figure out how to insert a field from these pairs (or any others) into MongoDB as a date time field. They are being stored as strings.

Unfortunately, that is a limitation of the MongoDB destination driver, and currently, there is no way to store anything but strings. I have a few ideas - and even half-baked solutions - to make it support other types, but the code is terribly ugly at the moment, and not ready for general use yet. I hope I'll be able to enhance the mongodb destination to support at least the most useful types before 3.4 becomes stable (for 3.3, this won't happen), help is of course appreciated - even in the form of "I'd love this feature too!"s :) -- |8]
