chef-mongodb-import

A Chef cookbook for importing data into a mongodb database.

Usage

Add to your Berksfile or Cheffile:

  cookbook 'mongodb-import', :git => 'git://github.com/gesinger/chef-mongodb-import.git'

Specify the attributes you want to use, and the mongodb-import::default recipe in your run list (this example uses the vagrant synced folder):

  "mongodb_import": {
    "db": "mydb",
    "collection": "mycollection",
    "file": "/vagrant/files/exported_data.json"
  },
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[mongodb-import::default]"
  ]

Attributes

See full documentation for mongoimport for all available parameters.

• mongodb_import[:file] - The location of the file to import on the remote host
• mongodb_import[:db] - The mongodb database name
• mongodb_import[:collection] - The mongodb collection name
• mongodb_import[:host]
• mongodb_import[:port]
• mongodb_import[:dbpath]
• mongodb_import[:use_journal]
• mongodb_import[:ignore_blanks]
• mongodb_import[:tail] - Any additional parameters you want to pass to mongoimport

Building and Testing

mongodb-import uses an internal cookbook for testing called mongodb-import-test. This does some file copying and external cookbook running in order to properly test that the data was imported.

In order to test everything yourself:

• Check out the repo
• Run bundle install
• Run berks install
• Run kitchen test
