mongodb_store

This package wraps up MongoDB database server in ROS, allowing it to be used to store configuration parameters.

Two nodes are provided: - mongodb_server.py - config_manager.py

These node depends on MongoDB and the Python client libraries (>=2.3). Install by:

sudo apt-get install python-pymongo mongodb

If this does not give the required version, you can use:

sudo pip install pymongo

Running the mongodb_server

The start the datacentre:

rosparam set mongodb_port 62345
rosparam set mongodb_host bob # note that if using multiple machines, 'localhost' is no good

rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py

By default, the mongod database will be stored in /opt/strands/mongodb_store. This can be overridden by setting the private parameter ~database_path for the node. If it is the first time that the database is used, be sure to first run

mkdir /opt/strands/mongodb_store

If you prefer to use different mongodb instance, set the mongodb_* parameters accordingly.

Or if you'd like to use existing mongod (e.g. mongod launched as Linux service)

rosparam set mongodb_use_daemon true
rosparam set mongodb_port 62345
rosparam set mongodb_host localhost

roslaunch mongodb_store mongodb_store.launch use_daemon:=true

Config Manager Overview

The config manager provides a centralised way to store robot application parameters, with optional site-specific overrides. All configurations are stored inside the mongodb_store mongodb, within a database named "configs".

Two levels of parameters are considered:

1) Global default parameters. These should be "working defaults" - so all essential parameters at least have a default value. For example, if a robot application requires some calibration data then default values should be provided. Default parameters can be shared among sites and stored inside a shared ROS package. When the config manager is started, all .yaml files stored in a 'defaults' folder will be examined. Any new default parameters will automatically be inserted into the "defaults" collection within the configs database. The defaults folder should be supplied as a private parameter: ~defaults_path either set to a system path or in the form pkg://ros_package_name/inside/package.

2) Local parameters. These parameters override the same named global default parameters, allowing site-specific parameter setting. They are stored within the database inside the "local" collection.

At start up, the config manager places all parameters onto the ros parameter server to allow interoperability with existing software. Parameters can also be queried using the /config_manager/get_param service, or by directly connection to and querying the mongo database server.

Likewise, local parameter overrides can be set using the /config_manager/set_param service or by directly editing the "local" collection in the configs database.

Running config manager

To start the config manager, make sure that you have the mongo db running then:

rosrun mongodb_store config_manager.py _defaults_path:=pkg://my_package/defaults

This will load all parameters onto the ros parameter server, which can be checked with:

rosparam list

Reading parameters

There are three methods to access parameter values: 1) Use the copy on the ros parameter server:

rosparam get /my/parameter

and likewise with the rospy and roscpp libraries. 2) Use the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/get_param "param_name: '/my/parameter'" 

3) Using the database server directly

Setting parameters

Default parameters are set by placing them in the yaml files in the defaults directory in mongodb_store. This way, default parameters are added to the github repo and shared between all users.

The local parameter overrides can be set in 2 ways: 1) Using the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/set_param "param: '{\"path\":\"/chris\",\"value\":43}'" 

Note the syntax of the parameter: it is a json representation of a dictionary with path and value keys.

2) Using the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/save_param name_of_the_parameter_to_be_saved

Note: This will save the current value of the parameter into the locals database

3) Using the database server directly

Launch files

Both mongodb and config_manager can be started together using the datacentre.launch file:

HOSTNAME=yourhost roslaunch mongodb_store mongodb_store.launch db_path:=/path/to/db db_port:=62345

The HOSTNAME env variable is required; db_path will default to /opt/strands/mongodb_store and db_port will default to 62345.

Replication

If the constructor arcgument to the message store node replicate_on_write is set to true, replication of the message store parts of the datacentre is done manually to allow different content to appear on different hosts. A list of hosts and ports where replications should be made can be set via the mongodb_store_extras parameter:

mongodb_store_extras: [["localhost", 62344], ["localhost", 62333]]

Inserts and updates are performed acorss the main and replicant datacentres.

If mongodb_store_extras is set (regardless of replicate_on_write), queries are performed on the main first, and if nothing found, the replicants are tried.

You can launch additional datacentres as follows, e.g.

rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py _master:=false _database_path:=/opt/strands/strands_mongodb_62344 _host:=localhost _port:=62344
rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py _master:=false _database_path:=/opt/strands/strands_mongodb_62333 _host:=localhost _port:=62333

You can test if this works by adding some things to the message store, deleting them from the master using RoboMongo (not the message store as the deletes are replicated), then running queries.

Action Server for Replication

The MoveEntries action and the corresponding action server:

rosrun mongodb_store replicator_node.py 

(which is included in datacentre.launch)

allows you to bulk copy or move entries from message store collections to the mongod instances defined under mongodb_store_extras. The client accepts a list of collection names and uses the meta["inserted_at"] field of the message store entries to replicate or move all entries that were inserted before a particular time. If no time is provided then the default is 24 hours ago. There is an example client that does this for a list of collections specified on the command line. This moves entries inserted 24 hours ago or earlier.

rosrun mongodb_store replicator_client.py message_store robblog scheduling_problems

NOTE THAT this all makes update operations a bit uncertain, so please do not use this type of replication on collections you plan to use update on.

0.4.5 (2019-06-28)

  • Allow to bind mongod to host The existing solution bind the mongod server to all interfaces. This exposes the server to the outside. This could be a potensial security issue if someone has access to your network. This change allows you to only bind the server to the host specified by the [mongodb_host]{.title-ref} parameter. The solution was created with a flag defaulting to false to prevent this from being a breaking change. Specifying the argument [bind_to_host]{.title-ref} will add a bind argument to the executable: ` [..., "--bind_ip", self._mongo_host][ Info: The `bind_ip]{.title-ref} argument [supports hostnames, ipaddresses and socket paths](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/#cmdoption-mongod-bind-ip) so using [localhost]{.title-ref} or [127.0.0.1]{.title-ref} is valid for binding to localhost only. To bind to all interfaces use [0.0.0.0]{.title-ref}.
  • adds service to reset all local overrides. Exposes a new service [/config_manager/reset_params std_srvs/Trigger]{.title-ref} that will reset all local overrides their default value. This provides a ROS compatible way of getting back to the default values.

0.1.19 (2015-10-28)

0.1.18 (2015-10-28)

  • Split mongodb_store launch file into two. This now provides mongodb_store_inc.launch which assumes that a machine tag has been previously set, and is provided by the machine arg. The original mongodb_store.launch file defines a machine tag then calls the _inc.launch file. This design minimises duplication as far as possible, but is still a bit inelegant. The reason we couldn\'t do everything with a single file, as discussed in #148, is we can\'t test whether an argument has been set in roslaunch so we don\'t know when to define a machine tag ourselves. The additional boolean flag to dictate this definition was not a nice solution either. This supercedes #148
  • Trying to find why cpp test fails. It appears to be a local issue with library paths not getting passed properly. SOme mention of this is here https://github.com/mikepurvis/ros-install-osx/issues/12

mongodb_store

This package wraps up MongoDB database server in ROS, allowing it to be used to store configuration parameters.

Two nodes are provided: - mongodb_server.py - config_manager.py

These node depends on MongoDB and the Python client libraries (>=2.3). Install by:

sudo apt-get install python-pymongo mongodb

If this does not give the required version, you can use:

sudo pip install pymongo

Running the mongodb_server

The start the datacentre:

rosparam set mongodb_port 62345
rosparam set mongodb_host bob # note that if using multiple machines, 'localhost' is no good

rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py

By default, the mongod database will be stored in /opt/strands/mongodb_store. This can be overridden by setting the private parameter ~database_path for the node. If it is the first time that the database is used, be sure to first run

mkdir /opt/strands/mongodb_store

If you prefer to use different mongodb instance, set the mongodb_* parameters accordingly.

Or if you'd like to use existing mongod (e.g. mongod launched as Linux service)

rosparam set mongodb_use_daemon true
rosparam set mongodb_port 62345
rosparam set mongodb_host localhost

roslaunch mongodb_store mongodb_store use_daemon:=true

Config Manager Overview

The config manager provides a centralised way to store robot application parameters, with optional site-specific overrides. All configurations are stored inside the mongodb_store mongodb, within a database named "configs".

Two levels of parameters are considered:

1) Global default parameters. These should be "working defaults" - so all essential parameters at least have a default value. For example, if a robot application requires some calibration data then default values should be provided. Default parameters can be shared among sites and stored inside a shared ROS package. When the config manager is started, all .yaml files stored in a 'defaults' folder will be examined. Any new default parameters will automatically be inserted into the "defaults" collection within the configs database. The defaults folder should be supplied as a private parameter: ~defaults_path either set to a system path or in the form pkg://ros_package_name/inside/package.

2) Local parameters. These parameters override the same named global default parameters, allowing site-specific parameter setting. They are stored within the database inside the "local" collection.

At start up, the config manager places all parameters onto the ros parameter server to allow interoperability with existing software. Parameters can also be queried using the /config_manager/get_param service, or by directly connection to and querying the mongo database server.

Likewise, local parameter overrides can be set using the /config_manager/set_param service or by directly editing the "local" collection in the configs database.

Running config manager

To start the config manager, make sure that you have the mongo db running then:

rosrun mongodb_store config_manager.py _defaults_path:=pkg://my_package/defaults

This will load all parameters onto the ros parameter server, which can be checked with:

rosparam list

Reading parameters

There are three methods to access parameter values: 1) Use the copy on the ros parameter server:

rosparam get /my/parameter

and likewise with the rospy and roscpp libraries. 2) Use the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/get_param "param_name: '/my/parameter'" 

3) Using the database server directly

Setting parameters

Default parameters are set by placing them in the yaml files in the defaults directory in mongodb_store. This way, default parameters are added to the github repo and shared between all users.

The local parameter overrides can be set in 2 ways: 1) Using the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/set_param "param: '{\"path\":\"/chris\",\"value\":43}'" 

Note the syntax of the parameter: it is a json representation of a dictionary with path and value keys.

2) Using the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/save_param name_of_the_parameter_to_be_saved

Note: This will save the current value of the parameter into the locals database

3) Using the database server directly

Launch files

Both mongodb and config_manager can be started together using the datacentre.launch file:

HOSTNAME=yourhost roslaunch mongodb_store mongodb_store.launch db_path:=/path/to/db db_port:=62345

The HOSTNAME env variable is required; db_path will default to /opt/strands/mongodb_store and db_port will default to 62345.

Replication

If the constructor arcgument to the message store node replicate_on_write is set to true, replication of the message store parts of the datacentre is done manually to allow different content to appear on different hosts. A list of hosts and ports where replications should be made can be set via the mongodb_store_extras parameter:

mongodb_store_extras: [["localhost", 62344], ["localhost", 62333]]

Inserts and updates are performed acorss the main and replicant datacentres.

If mongodb_store_extras is set (regardless of replicate_on_write), queries are performed on the main first, and if nothing found, the replicants are tried.

You can launch additional datacentres as follows, e.g.

rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py _master:=false _database_path:=/opt/strands/strands_mongodb_62344 _host:=localhost _port:=62344
rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py _master:=false _database_path:=/opt/strands/strands_mongodb_62333 _host:=localhost _port:=62333

You can test if this works by adding some things to the message store, deleting them from the master using RoboMongo (not the message store as the deletes are replicated), then running queries.

Action Server for Replication

The MoveEntries action and the corresponding action server:

rosrun mongodb_store replicator_node.py 

(which is included in datacentre.launch)

allows you to bulk copy or move entries from message store collections to the mongod instances defined under mongodb_store_extras. The client accepts a list of collection names and uses the meta["inserted_at"] field of the message store entries to replicate or move all entries that were inserted before a particular time. If no time is provided then the default is 24 hours ago. There is an example client that does this for a list of collections specified on the command line. This moves entries inserted 24 hours ago or earlier.

rosrun mongodb_store replicator_client.py message_store robblog scheduling_problems

NOTE THAT this all makes update operations a bit uncertain, so please do not use this type of replication on collections you plan to use update on.

CHANGELOG

  • Contributors: Marc Hanheide, Nick Hawes

0.1.19 (2015-10-28)

0.1.18 (2015-10-28)

  • Split mongodb_store launch file into two. This now provides mongodb_store_inc.launch which assumes that a machine tag has been previously set, and is provided by the machine arg. The original mongodb_store.launch file defines a machine tag then calls the _inc.launch file. This design minimises duplication as far as possible, but is still a bit inelegant. The reason we couldn\'t do everything with a single file, as discussed in #148, is we can\'t test whether an argument has been set in roslaunch so we don\'t know when to define a machine tag ourselves. The additional boolean flag to dictate this definition was not a nice solution either. This supercedes #148
  • Trying to find why cpp test fails. It appears to be a local issue with library paths not getting passed properly. SOme mention of this is here https://github.com/mikepurvis/ros-install-osx/issues/12

  • [mongodb_store/message_store.py] suppress infinite error output when shutdown without finding mongodb service
  • Fix: remove auto-generated databases in /tmp after a test has been completed that may e.g. fill up the harddisk of a Jenkins server
  • minor help edit
  • logging messages commented
  • aded support for start and end times of playback

mongodb_store

This package wraps up MongoDB database server in ROS, allowing it to be used to store configuration parameters.

Two nodes are provided: - mongodb_server.py - config_manager.py

These node depends on MongoDB and the Python client libraries (>=2.3). Install by:

sudo apt-get install python-pymongo mongodb

If this does not give the required version, you can use:

sudo pip install pymongo

Running the mongodb_server

The start the datacentre:

rosparam set mongodb_port 62345
rosparam set mongodb_host bob # note that if using multiple machines, 'localhost' is no good

rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py

By default, the mongod database will be stored in /opt/strands/mongodb_store. This can be overridden by setting the private parameter ~database_path for the node. If it is the first time that the database is used, be sure to first run

mkdir /opt/strands/mongodb_store

If you prefer to use different mongodb instance, set the mongodb_* parameters accordingly.

Or if you'd like to use existing mongod (e.g. mongod launched as Linux service)

rosparam set mongodb_use_daemon true
rosparam set mongodb_port 62345
rosparam set mongodb_host localhost

roslaunch mongodb_store mongodb_store use_daemon:=true

Config Manager Overview

The config manager provides a centralised way to store robot application parameters, with optional site-specific overrides. All configurations are stored inside the mongodb_store mongodb, within a database named "configs".

Two levels of parameters are considered:

1) Global default parameters. These should be "working defaults" - so all essential parameters at least have a default value. For example, if a robot application requires some calibration data then default values should be provided. Default parameters can be shared among sites and stored inside a shared ROS package. When the config manager is started, all .yaml files stored in a 'defaults' folder will be examined. Any new default parameters will automatically be inserted into the "defaults" collection within the configs database. The defaults folder should be supplied as a private parameter: ~defaults_path either set to a system path or in the form pkg://ros_package_name/inside/package.

2) Local parameters. These parameters override the same named global default parameters, allowing site-specific parameter setting. They are stored within the database inside the "local" collection.

At start up, the config manager places all parameters onto the ros parameter server to allow interoperability with existing software. Parameters can also be queried using the /config_manager/get_param service, or by directly connection to and querying the mongo database server.

Likewise, local parameter overrides can be set using the /config_manager/set_param service or by directly editing the "local" collection in the configs database.

Running config manager

To start the config manager, make sure that you have the mongo db running then:

rosrun mongodb_store config_manager.py _defaults_path:=pkg://my_package/defaults

This will load all parameters onto the ros parameter server, which can be checked with:

rosparam list

Reading parameters

There are three methods to access parameter values: 1) Use the copy on the ros parameter server:

rosparam get /my/parameter

and likewise with the rospy and roscpp libraries. 2) Use the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/get_param "param_name: '/my/parameter'" 

3) Using the database server directly

Setting parameters

Default parameters are set by placing them in the yaml files in the defaults directory in mongodb_store. This way, default parameters are added to the github repo and shared between all users.

The local parameter overrides can be set in 2 ways: 1) Using the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/set_param "param: '{\"path\":\"/chris\",\"value\":43}'" 

Note the syntax of the parameter: it is a json representation of a dictionary with path and value keys.

2) Using the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/save_param name_of_the_parameter_to_be_saved

Note: This will save the current value of the parameter into the locals database

3) Using the database server directly

Launch files

Both mongodb and config_manager can be started together using the datacentre.launch file:

HOSTNAME=yourhost roslaunch mongodb_store mongodb_store.launch db_path:=/path/to/db db_port:=62345

The HOSTNAME env variable is required; db_path will default to /opt/strands/mongodb_store and db_port will default to 62345.

Replication

If the constructor arcgument to the message store node replicate_on_write is set to true, replication of the message store parts of the datacentre is done manually to allow different content to appear on different hosts. A list of hosts and ports where replications should be made can be set via the mongodb_store_extras parameter:

mongodb_store_extras: [["localhost", 62344], ["localhost", 62333]]

Inserts and updates are performed acorss the main and replicant datacentres.

If mongodb_store_extras is set (regardless of replicate_on_write), queries are performed on the main first, and if nothing found, the replicants are tried.

You can launch additional datacentres as follows, e.g.

rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py _master:=false _database_path:=/opt/strands/strands_mongodb_62344 _host:=localhost _port:=62344
rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py _master:=false _database_path:=/opt/strands/strands_mongodb_62333 _host:=localhost _port:=62333

You can test if this works by adding some things to the message store, deleting them from the master using RoboMongo (not the message store as the deletes are replicated), then running queries.

Action Server for Replication

The MoveEntries action and the corresponding action server:

rosrun mongodb_store replicator_node.py 

(which is included in datacentre.launch)

allows you to bulk copy or move entries from message store collections to the mongod instances defined under mongodb_store_extras. The client accepts a list of collection names and uses the meta["inserted_at"] field of the message store entries to replicate or move all entries that were inserted before a particular time. If no time is provided then the default is 24 hours ago. There is an example client that does this for a list of collections specified on the command line. This moves entries inserted 24 hours ago or earlier.

rosrun mongodb_store replicator_client.py message_store robblog scheduling_problems

NOTE THAT this all makes update operations a bit uncertain, so please do not use this type of replication on collections you plan to use update on.

CHANGELOG

  • Contributors: Marc Hanheide, Nick Hawes

0.1.19 (2015-10-28)

0.1.18 (2015-10-28)

  • Split mongodb_store launch file into two. This now provides mongodb_store_inc.launch which assumes that a machine tag has been previously set, and is provided by the machine arg. The original mongodb_store.launch file defines a machine tag then calls the _inc.launch file. This design minimises duplication as far as possible, but is still a bit inelegant. The reason we couldn\'t do everything with a single file, as discussed in #148, is we can\'t test whether an argument has been set in roslaunch so we don\'t know when to define a machine tag ourselves. The additional boolean flag to dictate this definition was not a nice solution either. This supercedes #148
  • Trying to find why cpp test fails. It appears to be a local issue with library paths not getting passed properly. SOme mention of this is here https://github.com/mikepurvis/ros-install-osx/issues/12

  • minor help edit
  • logging messages commented
  • aded support for start and end times of playback

mongodb_store

This package wraps up MongoDB database server in ROS, allowing it to be used to store configuration parameters.

Two nodes are provided: - mongodb_server.py - config_manager.py

These node depends on MongoDB and the Python client libraries (>=2.3). Install by:

sudo apt-get install python-pymongo mongodb scons

If this does not give the required version, you can use:

sudo pip install pymongo

Running the mongodb_server

The start the datacentre:

rosparam set mongodb_port 62345
rosparam set mongodb_host bob # note that if using multiple machines, 'localhost' is no good

rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py

By default, the mongod database will be stored in /opt/strands/mongodb_store. This can be overridden by setting the private parameter ~database_path for the node. If it is the first time that the database is used, be sure to first run

mkdir /opt/strands/mongodb_store

If you prefer to use different mongodb instance, set the mongodb_* parameters accordingly.

Or if you'd like to use existing mongod (e.g. mongod launched as Linux service)

rosparam set mongodb_use_daemon true
rosparam set mongodb_port 62345
rosparam set mongodb_host localhost

roslaunch mongodb_store mongodb_store.launch use_daemon:=true

Config Manager Overview

The config manager provides a centralised way to store robot application parameters, with optional site-specific overrides. All configurations are stored inside the mongodb_store mongodb, within a database named "configs".

Two levels of parameters are considered:

1) Global default parameters. These should be "working defaults" - so all essential parameters at least have a default value. For example, if a robot application requires some calibration data then default values should be provided. Default parameters can be shared among sites and stored inside a shared ROS package. When the config manager is started, all .yaml files stored in a 'defaults' folder will be examined. Any new default parameters will automatically be inserted into the "defaults" collection within the configs database. The defaults folder should be supplied as a private parameter: ~defaults_path either set to a system path or in the form pkg://ros_package_name/inside/package.

2) Local parameters. These parameters override the same named global default parameters, allowing site-specific parameter setting. They are stored within the database inside the "local" collection.

At start up, the config manager places all parameters onto the ros parameter server to allow interoperability with existing software. Parameters can also be queried using the /config_manager/get_param service, or by directly connection to and querying the mongo database server.

Likewise, local parameter overrides can be set using the /config_manager/set_param service or by directly editing the "local" collection in the configs database.

Running config manager

To start the config manager, make sure that you have the mongo db running then:

rosrun mongodb_store config_manager.py _defaults_path:=pkg://my_package/defaults

This will load all parameters onto the ros parameter server, which can be checked with:

rosparam list

Reading parameters

There are three methods to access parameter values: 1) Use the copy on the ros parameter server:

rosparam get /my/parameter

and likewise with the rospy and roscpp libraries. 2) Use the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/get_param "param_name: '/my/parameter'" 

3) Using the database server directly

Setting parameters

Default parameters are set by placing them in the yaml files in the defaults directory in mongodb_store. This way, default parameters are added to the github repo and shared between all users.

The local parameter overrides can be set in 2 ways: 1) Using the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/set_param "param: '{\"path\":\"/chris\",\"value\":43}'" 

Note the syntax of the parameter: it is a json representation of a dictionary with path and value keys.

2) Using the config_manager service:

rosservice call /config_manager/save_param name_of_the_parameter_to_be_saved

Note: This will save the current value of the parameter into the locals database

3) Using the database server directly

Launch files

Both mongodb and config_manager can be started together using the datacentre.launch file:

HOSTNAME=yourhost roslaunch mongodb_store mongodb_store.launch db_path:=/path/to/db db_port:=62345

The HOSTNAME env variable is required; db_path will default to /opt/strands/mongodb_store and db_port will default to 62345.

Replication

If the constructor arcgument to the message store node replicate_on_write is set to true, replication of the message store parts of the datacentre is done manually to allow different content to appear on different hosts. A list of hosts and ports where replications should be made can be set via the mongodb_store_extras parameter:

mongodb_store_extras: [["localhost", 62344], ["localhost", 62333]]

Inserts and updates are performed acorss the main and replicant datacentres.

If mongodb_store_extras is set (regardless of replicate_on_write), queries are performed on the main first, and if nothing found, the replicants are tried.

You can launch additional datacentres as follows, e.g.

rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py _master:=false _database_path:=/opt/strands/strands_mongodb_62344 _host:=localhost _port:=62344
rosrun mongodb_store mongodb_server.py _master:=false _database_path:=/opt/strands/strands_mongodb_62333 _host:=localhost _port:=62333

You can test if this works by adding some things to the message store, deleting them from the master using RoboMongo (not the message store as the deletes are replicated), then running queries.

Action Server for Replication

The MoveEntries action and the corresponding action server:

rosrun mongodb_store replicator_node.py 

(which is included in datacentre.launch)

allows you to bulk copy or move entries from message store collections to the mongod instances defined under mongodb_store_extras. The client accepts a list of collection names and uses the meta["inserted_at"] field of the message store entries to replicate or move all entries that were inserted before a particular time. If no time is provided then the default is 24 hours ago. There is an example client that does this for a list of collections specified on the command line. This moves entries inserted 24 hours ago or earlier.

rosrun mongodb_store replicator_client.py message_store robblog scheduling_problems

NOTE THAT this all makes update operations a bit uncertain, so please do not use this type of replication on collections you plan to use update on.

CHANGELOG

Changelog for package mongodb_store

0.4.5 (2019-06-28)

  • Allow to bind mongod to host The existing solution bind the mongod server to all interfaces. This exposes the server to the outside. This could be a potensial security issue if someone has access to your network. This change allows you to only bind the server to the host specified by the [mongodb_host]{.title-ref} parameter. The solution was created with a flag defaulting to false to prevent this from being a breaking change. Specifying the argument [bind_to_host]{.title-ref} will add a bind argument to the executable: ` [..., "--bind_ip", self._mongo_host][ Info: The `bind_ip]{.title-ref} argument [supports hostnames, ipaddresses and socket paths](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/#cmdoption-mongod-bind-ip) so using [localhost]{.title-ref} or [127.0.0.1]{.title-ref} is valid for binding to localhost only. To bind to all interfaces use [0.0.0.0]{.title-ref}.
  • adds service to reset all local overrides. Exposes a new service [/config_manager/reset_params std_srvs/Trigger]{.title-ref} that will reset all local overrides their default value. This provides a ROS compatible way of getting back to the default values.

  • Allow to bind mongod to host The existing solution bind the mongod server to all interfaces. This exposes the server to the outside. This could be a potensial security issue if someone has access to your network. This change allows you to only bind the server to the host specified by the [mongodb_host]{.title-ref} parameter. The solution was created with a flag defaulting to false to prevent this from being a breaking change. Specifying the argument [bind_to_host]{.title-ref} will add a bind argument to the executable: ` [..., "--bind_ip", self._mongo_host][ Info: The `bind_ip]{.title-ref} argument [supports hostnames, ipaddresses and socket paths](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/#cmdoption-mongod-bind-ip) so using [localhost]{.title-ref} or [127.0.0.1]{.title-ref} is valid for binding to localhost only. To bind to all interfaces use [0.0.0.0]{.title-ref}.
  • adds service to reset all local overrides. Exposes a new service [/config_manager/reset_params std_srvs/Trigger]{.title-ref} that will reset all local overrides their default value. This provides a ROS compatible way of getting back to the default values.
