mongoose-xray

mongoose-xray

A Mongoose plugin to log requests and subsegments through AWSXray. This library requires Mongoose 5.x.

Setup

The plugin relies on AWS XRay automatic mode being in effect.

For more details on using XRay, see the docs

Usage

Simply register as a normal mongoose plugin

const xRayPlugin = require('mongoose-xray');
const gameSchema = new Schema({ ... });
gameSchema.plugin(xRayPlugin);

// Can also be registered as a global plugin
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.plugin(require('mongoose-xray'));

If the options have the verbose flag turned on, more metadata will be added to XRay, potentially at the expense of performance

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.plugin(require('mongoose-xray'), { verbose:true });

Options

• verbose Adds additional metadata based on the type of operaton being conducted

Output

For all operations, XRay will record:

• Model name as the segment name
• Operation as metadata
• Query middleware also records the filter by default

With verbose:true, the following will be added:

Queries

• update - The update if available
• options - Query options
• populatedPaths - Query paths populated

Documents

• document - Stringified document

Aggregates

• options - Aggregate options
• aggregate - Stringified aggregate
