mongodb – lookup info from MongoDB¶
Synopsis¶
- The MongoDBlookup 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¶

Hint
If you notice any issues in this documentation, you can edit this document to improve it.
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.
