        Mongotail, Log all `MongoDB <http://www.mongodb.org>`_ queries in a *"tail"able* way.
        
        ``mongotail`` is a command line tool to outputs any operation from a Mongo
        database in the standard output. You can see the operations collected by the
        database profiler from a console, or redirect the result to a file, pipes
        it with ``grep`` or other command line tool, etc.
        
        The syntax is very similar to ``mongo`` client, and the output, as like
        ``tail`` command will be the latest 10 lines of logging.
        
        But the more interesting feature (also like ``tail``) is to see the changes
        in *"real time"* with the ``-f`` option, and occasionally filter the result
        with ``grep`` to find a particular operation.
        
        Syntax
        ------
        
        Usage::
        
            mongotail [db address] [options]
        
        "db address" can be:
        
        +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
        | foo                  | foo database on local machine (IPv4 connection)             |
        +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
        | :1234/foo            | foo database on local machine on port 1234                  |
        +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
        | 192.169.0.5/foo      | foo database on 192.168.0.5 machine                         |
        +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
        | remotehost/foo       | foo database on *remotehost* machine                        |
        +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
        | 192.169.0.5:9999/foo | foo database on 192.168.0.5 machine on port 9999            |
        +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
        | "[::1]:9999/foo"     | foo database on ::1 machine on port 9999 (IPv6 connection)  |
        +----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------+
        
        
        Optional arguments:
        
        -u USERNAME, --username USERNAME
                              username for authentication
        -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                              password for authentication. If username is given and
                              password isn't, it's asked from tty
        -b AUTH_DATABASE, --authenticationDatabase AUTH_DATABASE
                              database to use to authenticate the user. If not
                              specified, the user will be authenticated against the
                              database specified in the [db address]
        -n N, --lines N       output the last N lines, instead of the last 10. Use
                              ALL value to show all lines
        -f, --follow          output appended data as the log grows
        -l LEVEL, --level LEVEL
                              specifies the profiling level, which is either 0 for
                              no profiling, 1 for only slow operations, or 2 for all
                              operations. Or use with 'status' word to show the
                              current level configured. Uses this option once before
                              logging the database
        -s MS, --slowms MS    sets the threshold in milliseconds for the profile to
                              consider a query or operation to be slow (use with
                              `--level 1`). Or use with 'status' word to show the
                              current milliseconds configured
        -m, --metadata        extra metadata fields to show. Known fields (may vary
                              depending of the operation and the MongoDB version):
                              millis, nscanned, docsExamined, execStats, lockStats ...
        -i, --info            get information about the MongoDB server we're connected to
        -v, --verbose         verbose mode (not recommended). All the operations will
                              printed in JSON without format and with all the
                              information available from the log
        --ssl                 creates the connection to the server using SSL
        --sslCertFile SSL_CERT_FILE
                              certificate file used to identify the local connection
                              against MongoDB
        --sslKeyFile SSL_KEY_FILE
                              private keyfile used to identify the local connection
                              against MongoDB. If included with the certfile then
                              only the sslCertFile is needed
        --sslCertReqs SSL_CERT_REQS
                              specifies whether a certificate is required from the
                              other side of the connection, and whether it will be
                              validated if provided. It must be any of three values:
                              0 (certificate ignored), 1 (not required, but
                              validated if provided), 2 (required and validated)
        --sslCACerts SSL_CA_CERTS
                              file that contains a set of concatenated
                              "certification authority" certificates, which are used
                              to validate certificates passed from the other end of
                              the connection
        --sslPEMPassword SSL_PEM_PASSPHRASE
                              password or passphrase for decrypting the private key
                              in sslCertFile or sslKeyFile. Only necessary if the
                              private key is encrypted
        --sslCrlFile SSL_CRLFILE
                              path to a PEM or DER formatted certificate revocation
                              list
        -h, --help            show this help message and exit
        -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
        
        
        Enabling Database Profiling and Showing Logs
        --------------------------------------------
        
        You have to activate first in the current database the
        `profiler <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.setProfilingLevel>`_,
        so MongoDB will capture all the activity in a special document that is read by Mongotail.
        
        You can achieve this with ``-l, --level`` option. For example, if you want to see the logs
        from MYDATABASE, first you have to execute this::
        
            $ mongotail MYDATABASE -l 2
        
        Then you can see the latest lines of logging with::
        
            $ mongotail MYDATABASE
            2015-02-24 19:17:01.194 QUERY  [Company] : {"_id": ObjectId("548b164144ae122dc430376b")}. 1 returned.
            2015-02-24 19:17:01.195 QUERY  [User] : {"_id": ObjectId("549048806b5d3db78cf6f654")}. 1 returned.
            2015-02-24 19:17:01.196 UPDATE [Activation] : {"_id": "AB524"}, {"_id": "AB524", "code": "f2cbad0c"}. 1 updated.
            2015-02-24 19:17:10.729 COUNT  [User] : {"active": {"$exists": true}, "firstName": {"$regex": "mac"}}
            ...
        
        To Connect with SSL or a remote Mongo instance, check the options with ``mongotail --help`` command.
        
        **NOTE**: The level chosen can affect performance. It also can allow the
        server to write the contents of queries to the log, which might have
        information security implications for your deployment. Remember to setup your
        database profiling level to ``0`` again after debugging your data::
        
            $ mongotail MYDATABASE -l 0
        
        A *step-by-step* guide of how to use Mongotail and the latest features
        is `here <http://mrsarm.blogspot.com.ar/2016/08/mongotail-2-0-with-new-features-mongodb-3-2-support.html>`_.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        See `<INSTALL.rst>`_ guide to install from sources. To install
        from `PyPI repositories <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mongotail>`_,
        follow these instructions depending of your OS:
        
        
        Linux Installation
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        You can install the latest stable version with ``pip`` in your
        environment with::
        
            $ pip install mongotail
        
        Execute this command with administrator/root privileges (in
        Debian/Ubuntu Linux distribution prepend ``sudo`` to the command).
        
        You have to be installed ``pip`` tool first. In Debian/Ubuntu Linux
        distribution you can install it with (also with root privileges)::
        
            $ apt-get install python-pip
        
        
        Mac OSX Installation
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        First you need to install the Python package manager ``pip`` in
        your environment, and then like Linux to install Mongotail you
        can execute ``sudo pip install mongotail`` from the command line,
        but also it can be installed with ``easy_install``, an
        old Python package manager present in most OSX versions. Try this::
        
            $ sudo easy_install mongotail
        
        
        Docker
        ^^^^^^
        
        Run with Docker (you don't need to download the source code)::
        
            $ docker run -it --rm fgribreau/mongotail --help
        
        If you want to connect with a database also running locally in a
        container, you have to link both instances (see howto in the Docker
        documentation), or if the db is a local instance running without
        Docker, remember to use the local IP of your computer because the
        ``localhost`` address (IP 127.0.0.1) points to the container, not to
        your host. Eg.::
        
            $ docker run -it --rm fgribreau/mongotail 192.168.0.21/test
