+plugin to use MongoDB as backend.
+
+tested in ubuntu 10.04 and ubuntu 10.10
+
+configuration:
+
+in your /etc/rsyslog.conf, together with other modules:
+$ModLoad ommongodb # provides mongodb support
+
+then in your /etc/rsyslog.d (check your distribution way to organize the configuration..) you create a file 10-mongodb.conf with the following content:
+
+#the format for the driver is :ommongodb:ip:db:collection;StdMongoDBFmt
+#if you want to change what is logged in the db, the template, you must change the source code since the keys are hardcoded
+$template StdMongoDBFmt,"%msg%%syslogfacility%%HOSTNAME%%syslogpriority%"
+*.* :ommongodb:127.0.0.1,syslog,logs;StdMongoDBFmt
+
+
+TODO
+we must ensure that the collection is a capped collection
+refactor my code :-)
