Recipe Apache Logs To Mongo
Here is how:
$ gem install fluentd
$ gem install fluent-plugin-mongo
$ touch fluentd.conf
fluentd.conf should look like this (just copy and paste this into fluentd.conf):<source>
@type tail
path /var/log/httpd-access.log #...or where you placed your Apache access log
pos_file /var/log/td-agent/httpd-access.log.pos # This is where you record file position
tag apache.access #fluentd tag!
format apache2 # Do you have a custom format? You can write your own regex.
</source>
<match **>
@type mongo
database <db name> #(required)
collection <collection name> #(optional; default="untagged")
host <hostname> #(optional; default="localhost")
port <port> #(optional; default=27017)
</match>
After that, you can start fluentd and everything should work:
$ fluentd -c fluentd.conf
Of course, this is just a quick example. If you are thinking of running fluentd in production, consider using td-agent, the enterprise version of Fluentd packaged and maintained by Treasure Data, Inc..
