mongodb – lookup info from MongoDB

New in version 2.3.


Synopsis

  • The MongoDB lookup runs the find() command on a given collection on a given MongoDB server.
  • The result is a list of jsons, so slightly different from what PyMongo returns. In particular, timestamps are converted to epoch integers.

The below requirements are needed on the local master node that executes this lookup.

  • pymongo >= 2.4 (python library)

Hint

Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
