Log file Viewer

[00:02:19] <Godslastering> if i set up logging in my mongodb.conf file, can i also tell it to log to screen? it's telling me that all output is going to my log file, i want output going to both

[00:07:22] <jordanorelli> Godslastering: if it's already going to a file you can just use `tail -f` to watch it.

[00:08:12] <Godslastering> jordanorelli: that's what i'm doing right now, but if i dont specify a log path, it just logs to screen. can i do both? or should i just stick to tailing the logfile?

[00:09:10] <jordanorelli> well it depends how you run it. the other option would be to not specify the log file, and then use the `tee` command to copy it into a file

[00:09:27] <jordanorelli> but i can't think of any benefits to doing such a thing.

[00:09:47] <jordanorelli> i personally just tail the log file.

[00:10:04] <Godslastering> jordanorelli: well on my local testing machine i run mongod and don't fork it to a daemon, and just watch the output in another terminal window

[02:59:56] <nofxx> Forgot an unique index, will mongo erase the dups if I ensure it now?

[03:31:13] <nofxx> Answer: It fails nicely. (what happens when you add an index with unique: true on dups)

[04:51:21] <avdeveloper> Hello #MongoDB

[04:52:00] <avdeveloper> first question: is anyone online?

[04:52:25] <avdeveloper> Hi joshfinnie

[04:52:37] <c98_> :/

[04:52:49] <avdeveloper> hello c98_

[04:53:02] <c98_> halo

[07:12:05] <Tankado> Is there going to be support of mongodb to powerpc anytime soon?

[07:41:04] <Gargoyle> Morning all.

[09:15:20] <nofxx> Any quick way to set a boolean field on every item of a 40M items collection?

[09:16:33] <wereHamster> nofxx: $set

[09:17:38] <nofxx> wereHamster, cool, thanks

[09:26:41] <idletask> Hello

[09:27:20] <idletask> I run mongodb with --noprealloc but it still tries and preallocates, full command line is /usr/bin/mongod --bind_ip 127.0.0.1 --nounixsocket --journal --dbpath /data/mongodb --noauth --noscripting --noprealloc

[09:27:31] <idletask> Why does it still try to prealloc if I tell it not to?

[09:28:03] <idletask> This is version 2.0.6

[09:29:59] <idletask> Argh

[09:30:09] <idletask> It tries and preallocates the _journal_, not the data file :(

[09:30:26] <idletask> I see no option for not preallocating the journal, does there exist one which is "hidden"?

[09:46:09] <circlicious> i am importing via rockmongo, this is the error i get, what does it mean

[09:46:11] <circlicious> insert too large: 17614416, max: 16000000

[09:46:28] <circlicious> i dont think any of my document is 16mb big, thats a hugesize to achieve.

[09:50:07] <circlicious> the import file size is 16.8mb, how can any document in any collection be 16mb then?

[11:50:27] <Gargoyle> circlicious: Is your web server limiting the upload size to 16MB ?

[12:52:37] <Godslastering> are regex queries supposed to be extremely slow, even on an indexed field? i'im getting about 238ms for a simple regex using {field:{$not:REGEX}}

[12:58:44] <Gargoyle> Godslastering: Does your REGEX have a start anchor "^" ?

[13:07:14] <Godslastering> Gargoyle: no but it has an end anchor

[13:07:36] <Gargoyle> Godslastering: Then it won't use an index.

[13:08:12] <Godslastering> Gargoyle: really ...? even if it has an anchor of some sort? that's odd. any way to speed up my regex then?

[13:08:54] <Gargoyle> Godslastering: Not really odd, since the index will be stored from left to right. IIRC.

[13:09:21] <Gargoyle> Not sure how to speed that up, I think you have to essentially to a full scan?

[13:09:31] <Gargoyle> does explain tell you anything useful?

[13:28:59] <Godslastering> Gargoyle: (sorry for delay, i've been afk back and forth) explain tells me i'm just using a basiccursor and my nreturned is around 250k

[13:29:48] <Gargoyle> So no index.

[13:30:13] <Gargoyle> What is it you are searching on?

[13:48:07] <Godslastering> Gargoyle: what do you mean what am i searching on?

[13:49:04] <Gargoyle> What's the field holding? might be something you can do to make the but you are looking for indexed?

[13:50:13] <Godslastering> Gargoyle: it's holding a hostmask (an irc one here like freenode/staff/example) and i'm doing the regex \D[^/]+$ matching stuff like freenode/staff/example but not web/ip.192.168.0.1

[13:50:30] <Godslastering> Gargoyle: it has an end anchor but not beginning, so i'm not sure how to make this work any faster

[13:51:27] <Gargoyle> Godslastering: Can you split it at the last "/" and store that in another field?

[13:51:56] <Godslastering> Gargoyle: that's kind of what i'm doing with the query. i'm checking all hostmasks which CAN be split, and then handling those separately

[14:05:28] <manveru> Godslastering: reverse the string?

[14:05:47] <Godslastering> manveru: when i store it?

[14:05:53] <manveru> yeah

[14:06:00] <Godslastering> err..hmm.ok

[14:06:07] <manveru> hacky as hell... but that's life with mongo :P

[14:06:10] <Godslastering> can i just index RTL?

[14:07:10] <manveru> don't think so

[14:08:36] <Godslastering> damn

[14:23:24] <jrm2k6> I dont understand why I get NON_FUNCTION using that http://pastebin.com/rhDgJSU2

[14:24:43] <wereHamster> jrm2k6: User.find {email: email}, (err, result) ->

[14:24:49] <wereHamster> learn coffeescript.

[14:25:13] <jrm2k6> wereHamster: that us what I am trying to do :)

[14:25:34] <wereHamster> jrm2k6: go to #coffeescript, here you won't learn it

[14:35:24] <NodeX> coffeescript blows

[15:04:59] <damonhouk> Can i ask questions here or is there another channel for that?

[15:08:24] <damonhouk> OK.. mongoexport --jasonArray igves me _id with key $oid where mongophp query results give me _id key $id. Can i get mongoexport to give me the same _id format? Does anybody know the rationale beind this? It seems inconvinient.

[15:09:02] <damonhouk> Bueller...

[15:09:14] <damonhouk> Bueller...

[15:25:21] <jrm2k6> new User({first_name: _first_name, last_name: _last_name, email: _email}).save what is wrong with that?

[15:25:29] <jrm2k6> i have string is not a function

[16:11:04] <jrm2k6> nobody's here?

[18:55:16] <wereHamster> maybe .save() ?

[20:15:40] <Godslastering> well they sure don't lie when they say vvvvv=true can cause a lot of output. my logfile got to 15 gigs yesterday :s

[21:54:24] <boll> Any suggestions on a simple mongodb shell command for showing the object count of all collections in a single database?
