Generate Wildcard Collections

You can dynamically generate collection names that map to data in your Atlas cluster. To dynamically generate collection names, specify the wildcard, *, as the value for the collection name setting in your federated database instance storage configuration.

You can use the storageSetConfig command to configure the settings for generating wildcard (*) collections.

For the Atlas data store, you can generate the following wildcard collections and databases in your federated database instance storage configuration:

• Wildcard collections for a specific database

• Wildcard databases with one wildcard collection

You can also dynamically generate collection names that match a regex pattern.
