How to See Mongo Array Filter in Spring Boot Logs

When working with MongoDB in a Spring Boot application, especially when dealing with array filters in update queries, one may encounter challenges in retrieving detailed logging information. If you've ever found yourself in a situation where the logs don't display the full context of your update command—such as the array filters—you are not alone. This guide will address this common problem and present practical solutions to enhance your logging setup, allowing you to see those crucial array filters in your logs.

Understanding the Problem

Consider the following scenario: You’ve executed an update query on a MongoDB collection using a specific array filter but could not see the array filter details in the logs you've generated. For example:

After enabling logging with the following setting:

You may find logs like this:

Unfortunately, the array filter itself is not visible in the logged output, leading to confusion during debugging.

The Solution: Increasing Log Detail for Array Filters

To resolve this issue, there are a couple of methods that you can employ for checking array filters in your logs.

Method 1: Set MongoDB Driver Logging to DEBUG

One straightforward way to increase visibility into your MongoDB commands is to modify the logging level for the MongoDB driver. You can add the following property to your logging configuration:

When this option is enabled, you can expect to see logs that look something like this:

This output will also show the arrayFilters section, allowing for a more comprehensive view of your MongoDB commands. However, it is worth mentioning that this approach can result in a significant increase in log verbosity, as it tracks all commands sent to MongoDB.

Method 2: Custom Logging in Your Code

If the increased verbosity from the MongoDB driver logging is undesirable, an alternative approach is to implement custom logging directly in your code. By doing this, you can selectively log the relevant array filter details without overwhelming your logs.

Here’s a snippet for how you might set this up in your code:

Using this method, you will create log entries similar to:

This solution provides clarity on which array filters are being applied without the added clutter from the driver’s detailed logs.

Conclusion

When working with MongoDB in Spring Boot, proper logging of array filters is paramount for effective debugging and maintenance. By adjusting the logging level of the MongoDB driver or implementing custom logging in your code, you can enhance your application's log quality and get the array filter details you need.

Choose the method that best suits your application needs and improve your logging practices today. Happy coding!
