Properties

PropertyDescription
gridfs-bucket-nameThe GridFS bucket where the files will be stored. If left blank, it will use the default value ‘fs’ that the MongoDB client driver uses.
gridfs-client-serviceThe MongoDB client service to use for database connections.
gridfs-database-nameThe name of the database to use
gridfs-file-nameThe name of the file in the bucket that is the target of this processor.
gridfs-queryA valid MongoDB query to use to fetch one or more files from GridFS.
mongo-operation-modeThis option controls when results are made available to downstream processors. If Stream Query Results is enabled, provenance will not be tracked relative to the input flowfile if an input flowfile is received and starts the query. In Stream Query Results mode errors will be handled by sending a new flowfile with the original content and attributes of the input flowfile to the failure relationship. Streaming should only be used if there is reliable connectivity between MongoDB and NiFi.
mongo-query-attributeIf set, the query will be written to a specified attribute on the output flowfiles.

Relationships

NameDescription
failureWhen there is a failure processing the flowfile, it goes to this relationship.
originalThe original input flowfile goes to this relationship if the query does not cause an error
successWhen the operation succeeds, the flowfile is sent to this relationship.

Writes attributes

NameDescription
