Getting Started

  1. Add the following to your Gemfile then refresh your dependencies by executing "bundle install" (or just simple "bundle"):

    gem "mongodb_logger"

    or install by rubygems

    gem install mongodb_logger
  2. Add adapter in Gemfile. Supported mongo and moped (mongoid). For example:

    gem "mongo"
    gem "bson_ext" # for MRI

    or

    gem "moped"
  3. Add the following line to your ApplicationController:

    include MongodbLogger::Base
  4. Add MongodbLogger settings to database.yml for each environment in which you want to use the MongodbLogger. The MongodbLogger will also look for a separate mongodb_logger.yml or mongoid.yml (if you are using mongoid) before looking in database.yml. In the mongodb_logger.yml and mongoid.yml case, the settings should be defined without the 'mongodb_logger' subkey. Example mongodb_logger.yml:

    production:
      database: my_app
      capsize: <%= 500.megabytes %>
      host: localhost
      port: 27017
      replica_set: true
  5. To setup web interface in you Rails application, first of all create autoload file in you Rails application (create file in "config/initializers/" directory):

    require 'mongodb_logger/server' # required
    # this secure you web interface by basic auth, but you can skip this, if you no need this
    MongodbLogger::Server.use Rack::Auth::Basic do |username, password|
      [username, password] == ['admin', 'password']
    end

    and mount web in Rails routes:

    mount MongodbLogger::Server.new, :at => "/mongodb"
