logApplicationMessage

Definition

logApplicationMessage

Note

Available only in MongoDB Enterprise and MongoDB Atlas.

The logApplicationMessage command allows users to post a custom message to the audit log. If running with authorization, users must have clusterAdmin role, or roles that inherit from clusterAdmin, to run the command.

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

db.runCommand(
   {
     logApplicationMessage: <string>
   }
)

Behavior

MongoDB associates these custom messages with the audit operation applicationMessage, and the messages are subject to any filtering.
