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.

Requirements

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

• pymongo >= 2.4 (python library)

Parameters

Notes

Examples

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
    mongodb_parameters:
      #mandatory parameters
      database: 'local'
      #optional
      collection: "startup_log"
      connection_string: "mongodb://localhost/"
      extra_connection_parameters: { "ssl" : True , "ssl_certfile": /etc/self_signed_certificate.pem" }
      #optional query  parameters, we accept any parameter from the normal mongodb query.
      filter:  { "hostname": "batman" }
      projection: { "pid": True    , "_id" : False , "hostname" : True }
      skip: 0
      limit: 1
      sort:  [ [ "startTime" , "ASCENDING" ] , [ "age", "DESCENDING" ] ]
  tasks:
    - debug: msg="Mongo has already started with the following PID [{{ item.pid }}]"
      with_mongodb: "{{mongodb_parameters}}"
