Connection Options

Specifies the minimum number of connections that must exist at any moment in a single connection pool.

Specifies the maximum number of connections that a connection pool may have at a given time.

Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds that a thread may wait for a connection to become available.

Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, the driver will wait for server selection to succeed before throwing an exception.

When communicating with multiple instances of MongoDB in a replica set, the driver will only send requests to a server whose response time is less than or equal to the server with the fastest response time plus the local threshold, in milliseconds.

Specifies the frequency, in milliseconds that the driver will wait between attempts to determine the current state of each server in the cluster.

Specifies that the connection string provided includes multiple hosts. When specified, the driver attempts to find all members of that set.

Specifies that all communication with MongoDB instances should use TLS/SSL. Superseded by the tls option.

Specifies that all communication with MongoDB instances should use TLS. Supersedes the ssl option.

Specifies that the driver should allow invalid hostnames for TLS connections. Has the same effect as setting tlsAllowInvalidHostnames to true. To configure TLS security constraints in other ways, use a custom SSLContext.

Specifies that the driver should allow invalid hostnames in the certificate for TLS connections. Supersedes sslInvalidHostNameAllowed.

Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, the Java driver waits for a connection to open before timing out. A value of 0 instructs the driver to never time out while waiting for a connection to open.

Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, the Java driver will wait to send or receive a request before timing out. A value of 0 instructs the driver to never time out while waiting to send or receive a request.

Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, that the driver allows a pooled connection to idle before closing the connection. A value of 0 indicates that there is no upper bound on how long the driver allows a pooled connection to be idle.

Specifies the maximum amount of time, in milliseconds, the Java driver will continue to use a pooled connection before closing the connection. A value of 0 indicates that there is no upper bound on how long the driver can keep a pooled connection open.

Specifies that the driver must wait for the connected MongoDB instance to group commit to the journal file on disk for all writes.

Specifies the write concern. For more information on values, see the server documentation for the w option.

Specifies a time limit, in milliseconds, for the write concern. For more information, see the server documentation for the wtimeoutMS option. A value of 0 instructs the driver to never time out write operations.

Specifies the read preference. For more information on values, see the server documentation for the readPreference option.

Specifies the read preference tags. For more information on values, see the server documentation for the readPreferenceTags option.

Specifies, in seconds, how stale a secondary can be before the driver stops communicating with that secondary. The minimum value is either 90 seconds or the heartbeat frequency plus 10 seconds, whichever is greater. For more information, see the server documentation for the maxStalenessSeconds option. Not providing a parameter or explicitly specifying -1 indicates that there should be no staleness check for secondaries.

Specifies the authentication mechanism that the driver should use if a credential was supplied.

Specifies the database that the supplied credentials should be validated against.

Specifies authentication properties for the specified authentication mechanism as a list of colon-separated properties and values. For more information, see the server documentation for the authMechanismProperties option.

Specifies the name of the application provided to MongoDB instances during the connection handshake. Can be used for server logs and profiling.

Specifies one or more compression algorithms that the driver will attempt to use to compress requests sent to the connected MongoDB instance. Possible values include: zlib, snappy, and zstd.

Specifies the degree of compression that Zlib should use to decrease the size of requests to the connected MongoDB instance. The level can range from -1 to 9, with lower values compressing faster (but resulting in larger requests) and larger values compressing slower (but resulting in smaller requests).

Specifies that the driver must retry supported write operations if they fail due to a network error.

Specifies that the driver must retry supported read operations if they fail due to a network error.

Specifies the UUID representation to use for read and write operations. For more information, see the driver documentation for the MongoClientSettings.getUuidRepresentation() method.

Specifies that the driver must connect to the host directly.

Specifies the maximum number of connections a pool may be establishing concurrently.

Specifies the service name of the SRV resource records the driver retrieves to construct your seed list. You must use the DNS Seed List Connection Format in your connection URI to use this option.
