`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7).

## Output Object
The cmdlet returns the [`VBRMongoDBOplogProcessingOptions`](vbrmongodboplogprocessingoptions.md) object that configures processing settings for oplogs for MongoDB replica sets.

## Examples

::: example
### Enable Oplog Processing in MongoDB Application Backup Policies

This example shows how to enable the processing of oplogs and add them to an existing MongoDB oplog application backup policy.

```
$rs = Get-VBRDiscoveredApplication -MongoDBEntityType ReplicaSet
$oplogOptions = New-VBRMongoDBOplogProcessingOptions -BackupObject $rs[0] -EnableOplogProcessing -OplogBackupPeriod 30
$backupRepo = Get-VBRBackupRepository
Add-VBRMongoDBBackupJob -Name ps_mongo_job -BackupObject $rs -BackupRepository $backupRepo -OplogProcessingOptions $oplogOptions
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBRDiscoveredApplication`](get-vbrdiscoveredapplication.md) cmdlet to get the replica set. Specify the `MongoDBEntityType` parameter value. Save the result to the `$rs` variable.
2. Run the `New-VBRMongoDBOplogProcessingOptions` cmdlet.

   - Specify the `BackupObject` parameter value with the `$rs` variable.
   - Set the switch parameter `EnableOplogProcessing`.
   - Specify the `OplogBackupPeriod` parameter with a number of minutes.

3. Run the [`Get-VBRBackupRepository`](get-vbrbackuprepository.md) cmdlet. Save the result to the `$backupRepo` variable.
4. Run the [`Add-VBRMongoDBBackupJob`](add-vbrmongodbbackupjob.md) cmdlet.

   - Specify the `Name` parameter value with the name of the application backup policy.
   - Specify the `BackupObject` parameter value with the `$rs` variable.
   - Specify the `BackupRepository` parameter value with the `$backupRepo` variable.
   - Specify the `OplogProcessingOptions` parameter value with the `$oplogOptions` variable.
