Recipe Http Rest Api To Mongo

Looking to get data out of http rest api into mongo? You can do that with fluentd in 10 minutes!
Here is how:
1
$ gem install fluentd
2
$ gem install fluent-plugin-mongo
3
$ touch fluentd.conf
Copied!
fluentd.conf should look like this (just copy and paste this into fluentd.conf):
1
<source>
2
  @type http
3
  port 8888
4
  bind 0.0.0.0
5
  body_size_limit 32m
6
  keepalive_timeout 10s
7
  # tag is part of the URL, e.g.,
8
  # curl -X POST -d 'json={"action":"login","user":2}' http://localhost:8888/tag.here
9
</source>
10
​
11
<match **>
12
  @type mongo
13
  database <db name> #(required)
14
  collection <collection name> #(optional; default="untagged")
15
  host <hostname> #(optional; default="localhost")
16
  port <port> #(optional; default=27017)
17
</match>
Copied!
After that, you can start fluentd and everything should work:
1
$ fluentd -c fluentd.conf
Copied!
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..
