Access Logs
Every running MongoDB instance collects logs from MongoD. Currently, there is no option to change this configuration. The log messages are shipped to a central storage location with a retention policy of 30 days.
Using the cluster ID, you can access the logs for that cluster via the API.
The endpoint for fetching logs has four optional query parameters:
Parameter | Description | Default value | Possible values |
|---|---|---|---|
start | Retrieve log lines after this timestamp (format: RCF3339) | 30 days ago | between 30 days ago and now (before end) |
end | Retrieve log line before this timestamp (format: RFC3339) | now | between 30 days ago and now (after start) |
direction | Direction in which the logs are sorted and limited | BACKWARD | BACKWARD or FORWARD |
limit | Maximum number of log lines to retrieve. Which log lines are cut depends on direction | 100 | between 1 and 5000 |
If you omit all parameters, you will get the most recent 100 log messages.
The following example shows how to receive only the first two messages after 12:00 a.m. on January 5, 2022:
curl --include \
--request GET \
--user "[email protected]:Mb2.r5oHf-0t" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://api.ionos.com/databases/mongodb/clusters/498ae72f-411f-11eb-9d07-046c59cc737e/logs?start=2022-01-05T12:00:00Z&end=2022-01-05T13:00:00Z&direction=FORWARD&limit=2"
The response contains the log messages separated per instance and looks similar to this:
{
"instances": [
{
"name": "ionos-498ae72f-411f-11eb-9d07-046c59cc737e-by6qu3m-1",

}
]
}
]
}
