logApplicationMessage

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.

Compatibility

This command is available in deployments hosted in the following environments:

  • MongoDB Enterprise: The subscription-based, self-managed version of MongoDB

  • MongoDB Community: The source-available, free-to-use, and self-managed version of MongoDB

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

{ logApplicationMessage: <string> }

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