# Common config fields, showing default values
input:
  label: ""
  mongodb:
    url: mongodb://localhost:27017 # No default (required)
    database: "" # No default (required)
    username: ""
    password: ""
    collection: "" # No default (required)
    query: |2 # No default (required)
        root.from = {"$lte": timestamp_unix()}
        root.to = {"$gte": timestamp_unix()}
    auto_replay_nacks: true
    batch_size: 1000 # No default (optional)
    sort: {} # No default (optional)
    limit: 0 # No default (optional)
# All config fields, showing default values
input:
  label: ""
  mongodb:
    url: mongodb://localhost:27017 # No default (required)
    database: "" # No default (required)
    username: ""
    password: ""
    app_name: benthos
    collection: "" # No default (required)
    operation: find
    json_marshal_mode: canonical
    query: |2 # No default (required)
        root.from = {"$lte": timestamp_unix()}
        root.to = {"$gte": timestamp_unix()}
    auto_replay_nacks: true
    batch_size: 1000 # No default (optional)
    sort: {} # No default (optional)
    limit: 0 # No default (optional)

Once the documents from the query are exhausted, this input shuts down, allowing the pipeline to gracefully terminate (or the next input in a sequence to execute).

Fields

app_name

The client application name.

Type: string

Default: benthos

auto_replay_nacks

Whether messages that are rejected (nacked) at the output level should be automatically replayed indefinitely, eventually resulting in back pressure if the cause of the rejections is persistent. If set to false these messages will instead be deleted. Disabling auto replays can greatly improve memory efficiency of high throughput streams as the original shape of the data can be discarded immediately upon consumption and mutation.

Type: bool

Default: true

batch_size

A explicit number of documents to batch up before flushing them for processing. Must be greater than 0. Operations: find, aggregate

Type: int

# Examples:
batch_size: 1000

collection

The collection to select from.

Type: string

database

The name of the target MongoDB database.

Type: string

json_marshal_mode

The json_marshal_mode setting is optional and controls the format of the output message.

Type: string

Default: canonical

Option Summary

canonical

A string format that emphasizes type preservation at the expense of readability and interoperability. That is, conversion from canonical to BSON will generally preserve type information except in certain specific cases.

relaxed

A string format that emphasizes readability and interoperability at the expense of type preservation.That is, conversion from relaxed format to BSON can lose type information.

limit

An explicit maximum number of documents to return. Operations: find

Type: int

operation

The mongodb operation to perform.

Type: string

Default: find

Options: find, aggregate

password

The password to connect to the database.

This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Manage Secrets before adding it to your configuration.

Type: string

Default: ""

query

Bloblang expression describing MongoDB query.

Type: string

# Examples:
query: |-

    root.from = {"$lte": timestamp_unix()}
    root.to = {"$gte": timestamp_unix()}

sort

An object specifying fields to sort by, and the respective sort order (1 ascending, -1 descending). Note: The driver currently appears to support only one sorting key. Operations: find

Type: int

# Examples:
sort:
  name: 1
sort:
  age: -1

url

The URL of the target MongoDB server.

Type: string

# Examples:
url: mongodb://localhost:27017

username

The username to connect to the database.

Type: string

Default: ""
