Hello @Jaime Beckner
The MongoDB connector in Azure Data Factory is not designed to capture change events from MongoDB. However, you can use Azure Event Grid to create an event-driven architecture for this scenario. You can create an Azure Function that listens to the MongoDB change stream and publishes the change events to an Azure Event Grid topic.
Then, you can create an Azure Event Grid subscription that routes the events to an Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1 account.
Here are the high-level steps to implement this solution:
- Create an Azure Function that listens to the MongoDB change stream and publishes the change events to an Azure Event Grid topic. You can use the MongoDB driver for Node.js to listen to the change stream. Here's an example of how to use the driver to listen to the change stream:
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
const client = new MongoClient('');
async function listenToChangeStream()
{
await client.connect();
const db = client.db('');
const collection = db.collection('');
const changeStream = collection.watch();
changeStream.on('change', (change) => {
// Publish the change event to Azure Event Grid }); }
listenToChangeStream();
}
- Create an Azure Event Grid topic and subscribe to it using an Azure Function that writes the events to Data Lake Storage Gen1. You can use the Azure Event Grid trigger for Azure Functions to listen to the events. Here's an example of how to use the trigger to write the events to Data Lake Storage Gen1:
module.exports = async function (context, eventGridEvent) {
const eventData = eventGridEvent.data; // Write the event data to Data Lake Storage Gen1 context.log(eventData);
};
- Configure the Azure Event Grid subscription to route the events to the Azure Function that writes the events to Data Lake Storage Gen1. You can use the Azure portal or Azure CLI to create the subscription. Here's an example of how to create the subscription using Azure CLI:
az eventgrid event-subscription create \ --name \ --source-resource-id \ --endpoint-type webhook \ --endpoint
