What is MongoDB used for?

LeonaLog uses MongoDB to store your configuration data, not your log data. Only metadata is stored, such as user information or stream configurations. None of your log messages are ever stored in MongoDB. This is why MongoDB does not have a big system impact, and you won’t have to worry too much about scaling it. With our recommended setup architecture, MongoDB will simply run alongside your leona-server processes and use almost no resources.

Can you guide me on how to replicate MongoDB for High Availability?

MongoDB actually supplies this information as part of their documentation. Check out:

• About MongoDB Replica Sets.

• How to convert a standalone MongoDB node to a replica set.

After you’ve done this, add all MongoDB nodes into the replica_set configuration in all leona-server.conf files.

Does LeonaLog encrypt log data?

All log data is stored in Elasticsearch. Elastic recommends you use dm-crypt at the file system level.

Where are the log files LeonaLog?

You can find the log data for LeonaLog under the below directory with timestamps and levels and exception messages. This is useful for debugging or when the server won’t start.

/var/log/leona-server/server.log

Can I Install the LeonaLog on Windows?

Running LeonaLog on Windows is not supported.

Can LeonaLog automatically clean old data?

Absolutely we have data retention features.
