OPTIONS
Structured log settings are tracked explicitly by a mongoc_structured_log_opts_t <> instance.
Like other drivers supporting structured logging, we take default settings from environment variables and
offer additional optional programmatic configuration. Environment variables are captured during
mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>, refer there for a full list of the supported variables.
Normally environment variables provide defaults that can be overridden programmatically. To request the
opposite behavior, where your programmatic defaults can be overridden by the environment, see
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env() <>.
Structured log messages may be filtered in arbitrary ways by the handler, but as both a performance
optimization and a convenience, a built-in filter limits the maximum log level of reported messages with
a per-component setting.
mongoc_structured_log_opts_t
Synopsis
typedef struct mongoc_structured_log_opts_t mongoc_structured_log_opts_t;
mongoc_structured_log_opts_t is an opaque type that contains options for the structured logging
subsystem: per-component log levels, a maximum logged document length, and a handler function.
Create a mongoc_structured_log_opts_t with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>, set options and a
callback on it, then pass it to mongoc_client_set_structured_log_opts() <> or
mongoc_client_pool_set_structured_log_opts() <>. Must be destroyed by calling
mongoc_structured_log_opts_destroy() <>.
Functions
mongoc_structured_log_opts_new()
Synopsis
mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *
mongoc_structured_log_opts_new (void);
Creates a new mongoc_structured_log_opts_t <>, filled with defaults captured from the current
environment.
Sets a default log handler which would write a text representation of each log message to stderr, stdout,
or another file configurable using MONGODB_LOG_PATH. This setting has no effect if the default handler
is replaced using mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_handler() <>.
Environment variable errors are non-fatal, and result in one-time warnings delivered as an unstructured
log.
Per-component maximum levels are initialized equivalently to:
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_all_components(opts, MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING);
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env(opts);
Environment Variables
This is a full list of the captured environment variables.
• MONGODB_LOG_MAX_DOCUMENT_LENGTH: Maximum length for JSON-serialized documents that appear within a log
message. It may be a number, in bytes, or unlimited (case insensitive) to choose an
implementation-specific value near the maximum representable length. By default, the limit is 1000
bytes. This limit affects interior documents like commands and replies, not the total length of a
structured log message.
• MONGODB_LOG_PATH: A file path or one of the special strings stderr or stdout (case insensitive)
specifying the destination for structured logs seen by the default handler. By default, it writes to
stderr. This path will be captured during mongoc_structured_log_opts_new(), but it will not
immediately be opened. If the file can't be opened, a warning is then written to the unstructured log
and the handler writes structured logs to stderr instead.
Warning:
When a file path is given for MONGODB_LOG_PATH, each log instance (one stand-alone client or pool)
will separately open this file for append. The results are operating system specific. On UNIX-like
platforms each instance's output will be interleaved, in most cases without splitting individual log
messages. Notably on Windows the file will be opened in exclusive mode by the first instance and
subsequent instances will fail, falling back on the default of stderr. Applications that use
multiple processes or multiple client pools will likely want to supply a log handler that annotates
each message with information about its originating log instance.
• MONGODB_LOG_COMMAND: A log level name to set as the maximum for
MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_COMPONENT_COMMAND.
• MONGODB_LOG_TOPOLOGY: A log level name to set as the maximum for
MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_COMPONENT_TOPOLOGY.
• MONGODB_LOG_SERVER_SELECTION: A log level name to set as the maximum for
MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_COMPONENT_SERVER_SELECTION.
• MONGODB_LOG_CONNECTION: A log level name to set as the maximum for
MONGOC_STRUCTURED_LOG_COMPONENT_CONNECTION.
• MONGODB_LOG_ALL: A log level name applied to all components not otherwise specified.
Note that log level names are always case insensitive. This is a full list of recognized names,
including allowed aliases:
• emergency, off
• alert
• critical
• error
• warning, warn
• notice
• informational, info
• debug
• trace
Returns
A newly allocated mongoc_structured_log_opts_t <>.
mongoc_structured_log_opts_destroy()
Synopsis
void
mongoc_structured_log_opts_destroy (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts);
Parameters
• opts: Pointer to a mongoc_structured_log_opts_t <> allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>,
or NULL.
Description
This function releases all resources associated with a mongoc_structured_log_opts_t <>. Does nothing if
opts is NULL.
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_handler()
Synopsis
void
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_handler (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts,
mongoc_structured_log_func_t log_func,
void *user_data);
Sets the function to be called to handle structured log messages, as a mongoc_structured_log_func_t <>.
The callback is given a mongoc_structured_log_entry_t <> as a handle for obtaining additional information
about the log message. This entry pointer is only valid during a callback, because it's a low cost
reference to temporary data.
Structured log handlers must be thread-safe if they will be used with mongoc_client_pool_t <>. Handlers
must avoid unbounded recursion, preferably by avoiding the use of any libmongoc client or pool which uses
the same handler.
This function always replaces the default log handler from mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>, if it was
still set. If the log_func is set to NULL, structured logging will be disabled.
Parameters
• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>.
• log_func: The handler to install, a mongoc_structured_log_func_t <>, or NULL to disable structured
logging.
• user_data: Optional user data, passed on to the handler.

Synopsis
bool
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_component (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts,
mongoc_structured_log_component_t component,
mongoc_structured_log_level_t level);
Sets the maximum log level per-component. Only log messages at or below this severity level will be
passed to mongoc_structured_log_func_t <>.
By default, each component's log level may come from environment variables. See
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env() <>.
Parameters
• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>.
• component: The component to set a max log level. for, as a mongoc_structured_log_component_t <>.
• level: The new max log level for this component, as a mongoc_structured_log_level_t <>.
Returns
Returns true on success, or false if the supplied parameters were incorrect.

Synopsis
bool
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_all_components (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts,
mongoc_structured_log_level_t level);
Sets all per-component maximum log levels to the same value. Only log messages at or below this severity
level will be passed to mongoc_structured_log_func_t <>. Effective even for logging components not known
at compile-time.
Parameters
• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>.
• level: The max log level for all components, as a mongoc_structured_log_level_t <>.
Returns
Returns true on success, or false if the supplied parameters were incorrect.

mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env()
Synopsis
bool
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts);
Sets any maximum log levels requested by environment variables: MONGODB_LOG_ALL for all components,
followed by per-component log levels MONGODB_LOG_COMMAND, MONGODB_LOG_CONNECTION, MONGODB_LOG_TOPOLOGY,
and MONGODB_LOG_SERVER_SELECTION.
Expects the value to be recognizable by mongoc_structured_log_get_named_level() <>. Parse errors may
cause a warning message, delivered via unstructured logging.
Component levels with no valid environment variable setting will be left unmodified.
This happens automatically when mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <> establishes defaults. Any subsequent
programmatic modifications to the mongoc_structured_log_opts_t <> will override the environment variable
settings. For applications that desire the opposite behavior, where environment variables may override
programmatic settings, they may call mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_levels_from_env() after calling
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_component() <> and
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_all_components() <>. This will process the environment a
second time, allowing it to override customized defaults.
Returns
Returns true on success. If warnings are encountered in the environment, returns false and may log
additional information to the unstructured logging facility. Note that, by design, these errors are by
default non-fatal. When mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <> internally calls this function, it ignores
the return value.

Synopsis
mongoc_structured_log_level_t
mongoc_structured_log_opts_get_max_level_for_component (const mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts,
mongoc_structured_log_component_t component);
Parameters
• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>.
• component: Log component as a mongoc_structured_log_component_t <>.
Returns
Returns the configured maximum log level for a specific component, as a mongoc_structured_log_level_t <>.
This may be the last value set with mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_component() <> or
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_level_for_all_components() <>, or it may be the default obtained from
environment variables. If an invalid or unknown component enum is given, returns the lowest log level.

mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_document_length()
Synopsis
bool
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_document_length (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts,
size_t max_document_length);
Sets a maximum length for BSON documents that appear serialized in JSON form as part of a structured log
message.
Serialized JSON will be truncated at this limit, interpreted as a count of UTF-8 encoded bytes.
Truncation will be indicated with a ... suffix, the length of which is not included in the max document
length. If truncation at the exact indicated length would split a valid UTF-8 sequence, we instead
truncate the document earlier at the nearest boundary between code points.
Parameters
• opts: Structured log options, allocated with mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <>.
• max_document_length: Maximum length for each embedded JSON document, in bytes, not including an
ellipsis (...) added to indicate truncation. Values near or above INT_MAX will be rejected.
Returns
Returns true on success, or false if the supplied maximum length is too large.

mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_document_length_from_env()
Synopsis
bool
mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_document_length_from_env (mongoc_structured_log_opts_t *opts);
Sets a maximum document length from the MONGODB_LOG_MAX_DOCUMENT_LENGTH environment variable, if a valid
setting is found. See mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <> for a description of the supported environment
variable formats.
Parse errors may cause a warning message, delivered via unstructured logging.
This happens automatically when mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <> establishes defaults. Any subsequent
programmatic modifications to the mongoc_structured_log_opts_t <> will override the environment variable
settings. For applications that desire the opposite behavior, where environment variables may override
programmatic settings, they may call mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_document_length_from_env() after
calling mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_max_document_length() <>. This will process the environment a
second time, allowing it to override customized defaults.
Returns
Returns true on success: either a valid environment setting was found, or the value is unset and opts
will not be modified. If warnings are encountered in the environment, returns false and may log
additional information to the unstructured logging facility. Note that, by design, these errors are by
default non-fatal. When mongoc_structured_log_opts_new() <> internally calls this function, it ignores
the return value.

LOG HANDLERS
Each mongoc_client_pool_t <> or standalone mongoc_client_t <> has its own instance of the structured
logging subsystem, with its own settings and handler.
When using mongoc_client_pool_t <>, the pooled clients all share a common logging instance. Handlers must
be thread-safe.
The handler is called for each log entry with a level no greater than its component's maximum. A
mongoc_structured_log_entry_t <> pointer provides access to further details, during the handler only.
Handlers must take care not to re-enter libmongoc with the same mongoc_client_t <> or
mongoc_client_pool_t <> that the handler has been called by.
mongoc_structured_log_func_t
Synopsis
typedef void (*mongoc_structured_log_func_t)
(const mongoc_structured_log_entry_t *entry, void *user_data);
Callback function for mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_handler() <>. Structured log handlers must be
thread-safe if they will be used with mongoc_client_pool_t <>. Handlers must avoid unbounded recursion,
preferably by avoiding the use of any libmongoc client or pool which uses the same handler.
Parameters
• entry: A mongoc_structured_log_entry_t <> pointer, only valid during the handler invocation.
• user_data: Optional user data from mongoc_structured_log_opts_set_handler() <>.
See also:
Structured Logging <>
LOG ENTRIES
Each log entry is represented within the handler by a short-lived mongoc_structured_log_entry_t <>
pointer. During the handler, this pointer can be used to access the individual properties of an entry:
its level, component, and message.
The message will be assembled as a bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> only when
explicitly requested by a call to mongoc_structured_log_entry_message_as_bson() <>. This results in a
standalone document that may be retained for any amount of time and must be explicitly destroyed.
mongoc_structured_log_entry_t
Synopsis
typedef struct mongoc_structured_log_entry_t mongoc_structured_log_entry_t;
mongoc_structured_log_entry_t is an opaque structure which represents the temporary state of an
in-progress log entry. It can only be used during a mongoc_structured_log_func_t <>, it is not valid
after the log handler returns. Use the functions below to query individual aspects of the log entry.
Functions
mongoc_structured_log_entry_get_component()
Synopsis
mongoc_structured_log_component_t
mongoc_structured_log_entry_get_component (const mongoc_structured_log_entry_t *entry);
Parameters
• entry: A mongoc_structured_log_entry_t <> pointer.
Returns
The mongoc_structured_log_component_t <> associated with this log entry.
See also:
Structured Logging <>
mongoc_structured_log_entry_get_level()
Synopsis
mongoc_structured_log_level_t
mongoc_structured_log_entry_get_level (const mongoc_structured_log_entry_t *entry);
Parameters
• entry: A mongoc_structured_log_entry_t <> pointer.
Returns
The mongoc_structured_log_level_t <> associated with this log entry.
See also:
Structured Logging <>
mongoc_structured_log_entry_get_message_string()
Synopsis
const char *
mongoc_structured_log_entry_get_message_string (const mongoc_structured_log_entry_t *entry);
Parameters
• entry: A mongoc_structured_log_entry_t <> pointer.
Returns
A string, guaranteed to be valid only during the lifetime of the structured log handler. It should not
be freed or modified.
Identical to the value of the message key in the document returned by
mongoc_structured_log_entry_message_as_bson() <>.
This is not a complete string representation of the structured log, but rather a standardized identifier
for a particular log event.
See also:
Structured Logging <>
mongoc_structured_log_entry_message_as_bson()
Synopsis
bson_t *
mongoc_structured_log_entry_message_as_bson (const mongoc_structured_log_entry_t *entry);
Make a new copy, as a bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html>, of the log entry's
standardized BSON representation. When possible, a log handler should avoid serializing log messages
that will be discarded. Each call allocates an independent copy of the message that must be freed.
Parameters
• entry: A mongoc_structured_log_entry_t <> pointer.
Returns
A new allocated bson_t <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_t.html> that must be freed with a
call to bson_destroy() <https://www.mongoc.org/libbson/current/bson_destroy.html>.
