Name	Description
connection.uri	Required Type: string Description: The URI connection string to connect to your MongoDB instance or cluster. For more information, see the Connect to MongoDB guide Important Avoid Exposing Your Authentication Credentials To avoid exposing your authentication credentials in your `connection.uri` setting, use a ConfigProvider and set the appropriate configuration parameters.

database	Type: string Description: Name of the database to watch for changes. If not set, the connector watches all databases for changes. Default: `""` Accepted Values: A single database name
collection	Type: string Description: Name of the collection in the database to watch for changes. If not set, the connector watches all collections for changes. Important If your `database` configuration is set to `""`, the connector ignores the `collection` setting. Default: `""` Accepted Values: A single collection name
