Choose a Database for Indexing

When you configured your Content component, you might have created one or more databases for indexed documents. This section explains how to configure your NiFi Ingest connectors so that documents are indexed into a specific database.

To choose a database for indexing

  1. Right-click a connector, such as GetFileSystem or GetWeb, and click Configure.

    The Configure Processor dialog box opens.

  2. Click the Properties tab.
  3. Click Add .

    The Add Property dialog box opens.

  4. Type META:DREDBNAME. DREDBNAME is a standard document field that indicates the database to index the document into. The META: prefix instructs the processor to add this field to documents that it creates.

  5. Set a value for the property (the name of the database to use).
  6. Click APPLY.

TIP: The PutIDOL processor also has a property named Default IDOL Database Name. You can set this property so that any document that does not have a DREDBNAME document field is indexed into the specified database.
