Unleashing the Power of MongoDB Logs Tired of scrolling through endless lines of MongoDB logs? Ready to take a break from the monotony of log analysis? Look no further! Hatchet is here to bring a little fun to your log analysis journey. Born out of passion and crafted with care, Hatchet was created to enhance the log analysis capabilities of Keyhole . In the last week of 2022, during the early mornings before taking my furry friend for a walk, I spent an hour each day to bring Hatchet to life. With the change to structured JSON format in MongoDB v4.4, popular log analysis tools like mtools became obsolete. But Hatchet rose to the challenge and provided a better solution. Say goodbye to the hassle of preliminary log analysis and hello to Hatchet's key features, such as parsing, organizing, visualizing, searching, and filtering your MongoDB logs with ease. No more struggling to retrieve valuable information from log attributes, and no more converting JSON logs back to legacy forma

Let me first begin with the name simagix. Simagix is not a catchy name and even myself have different ways of saying it. In this video clip, I'll explain where the name came from in this short video.

MongoPush is not only a data migration tool but also a database cluster transformation solution.  Data migration is one of many functions mongopush has. Another Bold Stroke In my tenure at Professional Services, December has been a month full of customer requested cancellations and thus resulting in many last minute engagements.  Right before the December holidays in 2020, I was assigned to an Atlas migration consultation on a short notice.  A colleague of mine already demonstrated to the customer a replica set migration to Atlas using the mongomirror tool in a previous meeting.  The customer asked me to use the same procedure and tool to mirror a 3-shard cluster to Atlas.  Unfortunately, it was not possible to migrate a sharded cluster using a simple mongomirror command.  After explaining the steps of migrating a sharded cluster using multiple modified mongomirror instances, the idea of simplifying the process of migrating sharded clusters began brewing in my head.
