## Log4Mongo Logging Handler

This module provides a logging handler for sending salt logs to MongoDB

### Configuration

In the salt configuration file (e.g. /etc/salt/{master,minion}):

    log4mongo_handler:
      host: mongodb_host
      port: 27017
      database_name: logs
      collection: salt_logs
      username: logging
      password: reindeerflotilla
      write_concern: 0
      log_level: warning

#### Log Level

If not set, the log_level will be set to the level defined in the global configuration file setting.

Inspiration

This work was inspired by the Salt logging handlers for LogStash and Sentry and by the log4mongo Python implementation.
