Helios | Logger

The Logger is a simple HTTP server that accepts log entries and stores them in a MongoDB database.

Features

• Accepts log entries via HTTP POST requests.
• Stores log entries in a MongoDB database.
• Minimal setup and easy to use.

Prerequisites

Before running the Logger, ensure you have the following installed:

• Rust programming language and Cargo package manager
• MongoDB server

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/HeliosShieldProject/logger-rust.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd logger-rust

3. Install dependencies:

   cargo build --release

Usage

1. Configure the environment variables in the .env file:

   MONGO_URL=<MongoDB connection URL>
   LOGGER_PORT=<Port number for the logger service>
   

2. Run the Logger Service:

   cargo run

3. Once the service is running, it will listen for HTTP POST requests at http://localhost:<LOGGER_PORT>/log.

4. Send log entries to the service using HTTP POST requests with JSON payloads containing the log data.

Example

To send a log entry to the service, you can use tools like cURL or Postman. Here's an example using cURL:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message": "This is a log message"}' http://localhost:<LOGGER_PORT>/log
