Hi,
Can someone please give me an example of how to configure the MongoDB River
for two different collections – let’s say col1 and col2.
Regards,
Janusz

I think you can do it like this:
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/mongodb1/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/mongodb1/_meta)' -d '{ "type": "mongodb", "mongodb": { "db": "DATABASE\_NAME", "collection": "col1", "gridfs": true }, "index": { "name": "ES\_INDEX\_NAME", "type": "ES\_TYPE\_NAME" } }'
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/\_river/mongodb2/\_meta](http://localhost:9200/_river/mongodb2/_meta)' -d '{ "type": "mongodb", "mongodb": { "db": "DATABASE\_NAME", "collection": "col2", "gridfs": true }, "index": { "name": "ES\_INDEX\_NAME", "type": "ES\_TYPE\_NAME" } }'
If you want to push content in different types, modify ES\_TYPE\_NAME.
Does it work?

Yep. Thanks David.
I think we should document it. I don't know how. Should I raise a ticket?
Cheers,
Janusz

You can edit online the README file. It will create a pull request.
