MongoDB Connection Configuration Properties

Use the following configuration settings to specify how your MongoDB Kafka sink connector connects and communicates with your MongoDB cluster.

For a list of sink connector configuration settings organized by category, see the guide on Sink Connector Configuration Properties.

Name
Description

connection.uri

Required

Type: string

Description:
The MongoDB connection URI string to connect to your MongoDB instance or cluster.
For more information, see the Connect to MongoDB guide

IMPORTANT: To avoid exposing your authentication credentials in your connection.uri setting, use a ConfigProvider and set the appropriate configuration parameters.

Default: mongodb://localhost:27017
Accepted Values: A MongoDB connection URI string

server.api.version

Type: string

Description:
The Stable API version you want to use with your MongoDB server. For more information on the Stable API and versions of the server that support it, see the Stable API MongoDB server manual guide.

Default: ""
Accepted Values: An empty string or a valid Stable API version

server.api.deprecationErrors

Type: boolean

Description:
When set to true, if the connector calls a command on your MongoDB instance that's deprecated in the declared Stable API version, it raises an exception.

You can set the API version with the server.api.version configuration option. For more information on the Stable API, see the MongoDB manual entry on the Stable API.

Default: false
Accepted Values: true or false

server.api.strict

Type: boolean

Description:
When set to true, if the connector calls a command on your MongoDB instance that's not covered in the declared Stable API version, it raises an exception.

You can set the API version with the server.api.version configuration option. For more information on the Stable API, see the MongoDB manual entry on the Stable API.

Default: false
Accepted Values: true or false

csfle.enabled

Type: boolean

Description:
Flag that, when set to true, enables Client-Side Field Level Encryption (CSFLE) for the MongoDB connection.

Default: false
Accepted Values: true or false

csfle.key.vault.namespace

Type: string

Description:
Key vault namespace for CSFLE in the format database.collection. For example: encryption.__keyVault.
Required when csfle.enabled is set to true.

Default: ""
Accepted Values: A valid MongoDB namespace in the format database.collection

csfle.local.master.key

Type: string

Description:
Base64-encoded 96-byte local master key for CSFLE with the local KMS provider. The connector uses the key to encrypt and decrypt data encryption keys stored in the key vault.
Required when csfle.enabled is set to true.

Default: ""
Accepted Values: A Base64-encoded 96-byte string

csfle.schema.map

Type: string

Description:
JSON document defining the encryption schema map for CSFLE. This maps namespaces to JSON schemas that specify which fields to encrypt and which encryption algorithm and key to use.

Default: ""
Accepted Values: A valid JSON document

csfle.bypass.query.analysis

Type: boolean

Description:
Flag that indicates whether or not to bypass automatic query analysis for CSFLE. When set to true, the connector disables automatic encryption based on schema maps, and you must use explicit encryption. When set to false, the connector enables automatic encryption but requires mongocryptd or the crypt_shared library.
Defaults to true to avoid external dependencies.

Default: true
Accepted Values: true or false
