mongodb source MongoDB Source

Provided by: "Apache Software Foundation"

Support Level for this Kamelet is: "Stable"

Consume data from MongoDB.

If you enable the persistentTailTracking property, the consumer keeps track of the last consumed message and, on the next restart, the consumption restarts from that message. If you enable persistentTailTracking, you must provide a value for the tailTrackIncreasingField property (by default it is optional).

If you disable the persistentTailTracking property, the consumer consumes the whole collection and waits in idle for new data to consume.

The collection that provides the data must be a capped collection.

Dependencies

At runtime, the mongodb-source Kamelet relies upon the presence of the following dependencies:

  • camel:kamelet

  • camel:mongodb

  • camel:jackson

Camel JBang usage

Prerequisites

  • You’ve installed JBang.

  • You have executed the following command:

jbang app install camel@apache/camel

Supposing you have a file named route.yaml with this content:

- route:
    from:
      uri: "kamelet:mongodb-source"
      parameters:
        .
        .
        .
      steps:
        - to:
            uri: "kamelet:log-sink"

You can now run it directly through the following command

camel run route.yaml
