logback.mongodb

This project contains a "Logback":http://logback.qos.ch/ "appender":http://logback.qos.ch/manual/appenders.html for "mongoDB":http://www.mongodb.org/.

Configuration

If you add

<appender name="MONGO" class="logback.mongodb.MongoDBAppender">
  <connectionSource class="logback.mongodb.MongoDBConnectionSource">

    <db>logdb</db>
    <collection>logs</collection>   </connectionSource>
</appender>

p. into your @logback.xml@ or @logback-test.xml@ file, Logback will connect to @mongodb://localhost@ server and append your logs into @logdb@ mongo database using the @logs@ collection. Please see also "mongoDB connection documentation":http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Connections for more and detailed infos on mongo URIs.
