MongoDB Change Streams tracker. Using mongoct allows you to pipe the MongoDB collection changes to another program or file.
To install mongoct, simply run:
pip install mongoctBefore executing the command line tool you'll need a MongoDB URI connection in your environment (MONGODB_URI)¹.
Tracking changes in a certain collection is as easy as running the following command:
mongoct company postsChanges will start flowing as JSON at the same time they're applied to the post collection in the company database.
You can now pipe the data to another program like jq or save it to a file for latter processing.
¹ It's also possible to specify the MongoDB URI as an option (mongoct company posts -u "mongodb://user:pass@host/db")
