PyMongo

The logfire.instrument_pymongo() method will create a span for every operation performed using your PyMongo clients.

Also works with Motor... 🚗

This integration also works with motor, the asynchronous driver for MongoDB.

Installation

Install logfire with the pymongo extra:

pip install 'logfire[pymongo]'
uv add 'logfire[pymongo]'
rye add logfire -E pymongo
poetry add 'logfire[pymongo]'

Usage

The following example demonstrates how to use Logfire with PyMongo.

Run Mongo on Docker (Optional)

If you already have a MongoDB instance running, you can skip this step. Otherwise, you can start MongoDB using Docker with the following command:

docker run --name mongo -p 27017:27017 -d mongo:latest

Run the Python script

The following script connects to a MongoDB database, inserts a document, and queries it:

import logfire
from pymongo import MongoClient

logfire.configure()
logfire.instrument_pymongo()

client = MongoClient()
db = client["database"]
collection = db["collection"]
collection.insert_one({"name": "MongoDB"})
collection.find_one()
import asyncio
import logfire
from motor.motor_asyncio import AsyncIOMotorClient

logfire.configure()
logfire.instrument_pymongo()

async def main():
    client = AsyncIOMotorClient()
    db = client["database"]
    collection = db["collection"]
    await collection.insert_one({"name": "MongoDB"})
    await collection.find_one()

asyncio.run(main())

Info

You can pass capture_statement=True to logfire.instrument_pymongo() to capture the queries.

By default, it is set to False to avoid capturing sensitive information.

The keyword arguments of logfire.instrument_pymongo() are passed to the PymongoInstrumentor().instrument() method of the OpenTelemetry pymongo Instrumentation package, read more about it here.
