I'm closing this ticket for now: Scott's appending the link to the topic of the channel, which provides suitable resolution to the ticket itself. I think the merits of logging or not logging are beyond the scope of this issue, and we can continue them-if we like-in other venues.

Derick, best to bring it up with the people logging since it isn't anyone here. BTW, the dcpython logger PMs every person entering to notify them of the logging, and location of the archives.

Comment by Derick Rethans [ 03/Jun/12 ]

Let me weigh in here for a moment. If I would have known there were things logged at .mongodb I would not have joined this channel. Public logging is something I despise and it's against the Freenode "rules" unless announced in the topic. So we either announce it in the topic, or turn all of them off. In any case, people need to be able to opt-out from this logging.

Jason, that would be good, thanks; it can't hurt to have two loggers (in addition to the current one: http://irclogger.com/.mongodb)

pmxbot has been running on freenode for some time now in #dcpython. You can see the logs it stores in http://chat-logs.dcpython.org/ . If you're interested in trying it out for #mongodb, it would be a simple matter of turning on logging for that channel. I can run it by the DC Python crew if you're interested.

Probably the easiest thing is to just use whatever's already out there: http://irclogger.com/.mongodb
You can just access those logs. Guys keep the service running quite well, works quite well.

I think we would find logs useful. We log our own internal IRC channels.

YouGov has opensourced their pmxbot (https://bitbucket.org/yougov/pmxbot), which has recently added support for logging to MongoDB. The logging bot has support for striking one or more comments (stripping them from the logs). It can provide notification of channel logging for disclosure. It also includes a web service for publishing/searching the logs.

If you would like to set up a pmxbot, I'd be happy to help set one up if you so desire.

Please note the section on logging here:

http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml

We wrote something a while back to record logs in mongo actually, but took it down.

Comment by Scott Hernandez (Inactive) [ 09/Dec/10 ]

IRC is public, esp. the public #mongodb channel, there is no expectation of privacy.

c'mon.... really there should be one that is mongodb backed, but here is what I found that looks reasonable instead.

Put the recording/logging status in the channel "topic" to inform folks. There is a LOT of useful knowledge shared in channel that is lost to the ages; it's a shame.

Comment by Michael Dirolf [ 20/May/10 ]

we actually used to do this but shut it down - worried about privacy issues w/ logging IRC w/o people's knowledge, etc.
