mongoct

MongoDB Change Streams tracker. Using mongoct allows you to pipe the MongoDB collection changes to another program or file.

Installation

To install mongoct, simply run:

$ pip install mongoct

Quickstart

Before executing the command line tool you'll need a MongoDB URI connection in your environment (MONGODB_URI)¹.

Tracking changes in a certain collection is as easy as running the following command:

$ mongoct company posts

Changes will start flowing as JSON at the same time they're applied to the post collection in the company database.

You can now pipe the data to another program like jq or save it to a file for latter processing.

¹ It's also possible to specify the MongoDB URI as an option (mongoct company posts -u "mongodb://user:pass@host/db")
