Beginning with release 3.0, Aspire uses an external MongoDB instance for connectors built with the new NoSQL Connector Framework. The database is used to keep crawl metadata and allow processing and scanning to be distributed. All MongoDB configuration is done in the settings.xml file.

  <noSQLConnectionProvider sslEnabled="false" sslInvalidHostNameAllowed="false">

    <servers>mongodb-host:27017</servers>
  </noSQLConnecitonProvider>
