What am trying to do with log4mongo :

I am writing a scrapy spider in which I need the log to be sent to MongoDB. My other mongo connections using MongoClient auth uri works fine. (ie.: client=MongoClient('mongodb://username:password@localhost:27045') ) with auth db as admin that has roles granted accordingly.

I followed the README, but I can't get the Auth part to work, when the MongoDB is with auth disabled, the connection works.

handler = MongoHandler(
level=logging.DEBUG,
host='localhost',
port=27045,
database_name='SPIDER_LOGS',
collection='logs',
username='username_here',
password='password_here',
authentication_db='admin'
)

Versions used:

python : 2.7
mongodb : 3.4.4
pymongo : 3.4.0

@oz123 any idea ? I don't see any reason why this should not work.

Hey, I got it to work

When I checked the Pymongo doc, it says we can pass uri in to host.

The host parameter can be a full mongodb URI, in addition to a simple hostname. It can also be a list of hostnames or URIs.

So instead of giving username, password separately, i gave it like this,

handler = MongoHandler(host='mongodb://username:password@localhost:27045')

and everything remains same, and I can confirm I have log data in the collection, so i guess it is better to mention this in the README for others who is using Auth 🙂 👍

Will do. Thanks.

I will close this issue after README is updated.

Still pending..

It happended to me and I guess I found the reason.
It happens in MongoHandler._connect meth. For a database need auth, connect.is_locked should be call after auth.But, it adverses.
It will be normal at no-auth situation, but not at auth need.
