javascript - How to upsert MongoCollection but keep some values? -

hi, don't know how put title i'm sure understand

so i'm trying set 2 fields on mongo collection when user click on button every 60sc have method running , make that:

  upsertcollectionmachines = meteor.bindenvironment(function() {       machinescount = 0;         var protocol;         var port;         machine.list({             inspect: true         }, meteor.bindenvironment(function(err, machines) {             if (typeof machines === "undefined") {                 console.error("impossible access 'machines' 'machine.list:  '" + err);             } else {                 machines.foreach(meteor.bindenvironment(function(machineinfo) {                     machinescount += 1;                     if (machineinfo.url != null) {                         var urltoarray = machineinfo.url.split(":")                         port = urltoarray[urltoarray.length - 1];                         protocol = "https";                     } else {                         port = "2376";                         protocol = "https";                     }                     infosmachines.upsert({                         namemachine: machineinfo.name,                     }, {                         namemachine: machineinfo.name,                         statemachine: machineinfo.state,                         ipaddr: machineinfo.driver.ipaddress,                         port: port,                         protocol: protocol //here want add isused: false,   //whouseit: "", think if set isused true --> after 60s false again right ?                     });                 }));                 if (apikeygenerated == false) {                     gettheapikeygrafana(function(err, res) {                         if (!err) {                             apikeygenerated = true;                             updatedashboard();                         } else {                             console.error(err);                         }                     });                 }else{                   updatedashboard();                 }             }         }));     }) 

where important part infosmachines.upsert(). want set 2 fields :

'lockthemachine': function(namemachine, nameuser){         infosmachines.upsert({             namemachine: namemachine,         }, {             namemachine: namemachine,             isused: true,             whouseit: nameuser         });         //upsertcollectionmachines();         console.log(nameuser +" has locked machine: " + namemachine);         }, 

but first doesn't likes add 2fields collection , secondly 60s interval method delete them right ?

thank

it little hard follow trying in question, think got main gist of it.

basically, want lockthemachine() function upsert ever set namemachine, isused, , whouseit fields , want upsertcollectionmachines() set statemachine, ipaddr, port, protocol fields on update , set isused , whouseit default values on insert?

you should able using below upserts.

use upsert inside upsertcollectionmachines() function.

infosmachines.upsert({   namemachine: machineinfo.name, }, {   $set: {     statemachine: machineinfo.state,     ipaddr: machineinfo.driver.ipaddress,     port: port,     protocol: protocol   },   $setoninsert: {     isused: false,     whouseit: "",   } }); 

it set statemachine, ipaddr, port, protocol fields regardless if inserting or updated, modify isused , whouseit if inserting (therefore, not overwrite values set other function).

use upsert inside lockthemachine() function.

infosmachines.upsert({   namemachine: namemachine, }, {   $set: {     isused: true,     whouseit: nameuser   } }); 

it ever insert or update 2 specific fields (isused , whouseit).

now, why work? first, using update operator expressions (instead of field:value expressions) allow update specific fields when needed , using $setoninsert ensures ever modify fields on insert only. note, if upsert determines needs insert new document, per mongodb upsert option behavior, creates new document using...

the fields , values of both <query> , <update> parameters if <update> parameter contains update operator expressions

this means don't have ever $set namemachine field explicitly in update expression.
