AWS documentdb documentation change

Service: documentdb · 2026-03-31 · Documentation low

File: documentdb/latest/developerguide/log.md

Summary

Added new documentation page for the $log operator in Amazon DocumentDB, including description, parameters, MongoDB shell example, and code examples in Node.js and Python.

Security assessment

The change adds documentation for a new mathematical operator ($log) and includes example connection strings with security parameters (tls=true, tlsCAFile=global-bundle.pem). While it demonstrates secure connection practices, there is no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident.

+
+# $log
+
+New from version 4.0.
+
+The `$log` operator in Amazon DocumentDB calculates the natural logarithm of a number. It returns the base-e logarithm of the specified number.
+
+**Parameters**
+
+  * `expression`: The number for which the natural logarithm will be calculated.
+
+  * `base`: Base value to calculate log.
+
+
+
+
+## Example (MongoDB Shell)
+
+The following example demonstrates the usage of the `$log` operator to calculate the natural logarithm of a number.
+
+**Create sample documents**
+    
+    
+    db.numbers.insertMany([
+      { _id: 1, value: 10 },
+      { _id: 2, value: 100 },
+      { _id: 3, value: 1000 }
+    ]);
+
+**Query example**
+    
+    
+    db.numbers.aggregate([
+      { $project: {
+        _id: 1,
+        naturalLog: { $log: ["$value", 10] }
+      }}
+    ]);
+
+**Output**
+    
+    
+    [
+      { "_id" : 1, "naturalLog" : 1 },
+      { "_id" : 2, "naturalLog" : 2 },
+      { "_id" : 3, "naturalLog" : 2.9999999999999996 }
+    ]
