Extending mongooplog to include remote auth and stop point

[David Murphy]

Currently Mongooplog  supports  --from  which could support a host or host+port.

I was thinking of using  r.auth() but  _conn is not exposed to do that from the OpLogReader class.
Would it be best to just make the connection using  OpLogTool  aka Tool()  or should I be extended opLogReader to  support auth.
Given tool.cpp only governs 1 connection and not a from/to, it seems to me we should be using Tool->connect then passing that into opLogReader for setting the correct connection options to use  the tailable cursor.

Am I on the write path there or should I just extend OpLogReader to pass auth to it?

My goal here is to add a few things to oplog to make it more usable as  a PIT recovery tool:
--from—host , alias to --from
--from-user
--from-password
--from-port
--stop  = timestamp to stop replay  at

Thanks

The tools are all being move to go @ https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools

All new development should go there as we won't be adding any new features to the c++ versions.

I am not sure that is actually the focus here. The placement wether in go/c++ of where we should support a remote second connection is should it be in the tools generic area or should we extend oplog itself. This seems like something needed for future tools so I am thinking the generic vs specialty class.

That said what is the plan around Mongosniff as I didn't not notice it in the go tools.

We're not porting mongosniff to the go tools, but it is still maintained.  That said, it hasn't been included in the packages or the tarballs since 2.6.0.  I just looked at the mongosniff docs page and it appears that they weren't updated to reflect this.  We'll update this now.
