Upsolver supports ingesting CDC data from relational databases including MongoDB. Upsolver provides CDC capabilities by running a Debezium Engine under the hood. Connectors detect and ingest changes automatically.
Before you ingest data into Upsolver, you must enable change data capture on your MongoDB database. If you are using a managed MongoDB service such as Atlas, CDC is most likely to be enabled, if not, please refer to the guide to Deploy a Replica Set for more information
Click Create a new connection, if it is not already selected.
Enter your Connection String in the following format:
where:
HOST - the hostname or IP address of the MongoDB Server instance you want to connect to, for example, my-mongo.mongodb.net.
Optionally, provide a username and password to authenticate to the database, and a Comment.
In the Name your connection field, type in the name for this connection. Please note this connection will be available to other users in your organization.
By default, if you have already created a connection, Upsolver selects Use an existing connection, and your MongoDB connection is populated in the list.
For organizations with multiple connections, select the source connection you want to use.
There are two ways to replicate objects to the target:
Manually select the databases and collections.
Use regular expressions to specify which databases and collections are included and excluded.
The following examples show how to use a regular expression to include specific collections:
db_name.*
Select all collections in the db_name database.
db_name.users,
db_name.items
Select users and items collections in the db_name database.
db_name.items_.*
Select all collections in the db_name database that start with items_.
"my.db".*
Select all collections in the my.db database.
If the name of the database or collection that you want to include contains a dot (.) in the name of the database or collection, you must escape each part of the name in double quotes.
Note: the following databases are internal MongoDB system databases and therefore they will not be replicated:
admin
local
config
Schema evolution
By default, new databases, collections, and fields added after the job is launched, will be replicated to the target.
You can overwrite the default behavior and set specific behavior for newly created databases or collections in a specific database.
