mongodb - Set Mongo Timeout in Spring Boot

Question

I am using spring boot web application which connects to mongo db which is working out of the box. I just use the following properties:

spring.data.mongodb.host=myHost
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017
spring.data.mongodb.database=myDatabase
spring.data.mongo.repositories.enabled=true
spring.data.mongodb.username=myUser
spring.data.mongodb.password=myPassword

The default timeout to MongoDB is 10 seconds. I would like to configure the timeout. I tried doing spring.data.mongodb.socketTimeout=2 or spring.data.mongodb.connectionTimeout=2

None of the properties work. Is it something that I can specify in the properties and the Spring framework will take care of it or can someone give example of doing it by declaring the Bean.

To follow your theme, this would be the best to answer your question. Looks like you would like to set a timeout in your application.properties file.

In order to do so:

Instead of

spring.data.mongodb.host=myHost
spring.data.mongodb.port=27017
spring.data.mongodb.database=myDatabase

spring.data.mongodb.username=myUser
spring.data.mongodb.password=myPassword

Try this

spring.data.mongodb.uri=mongodb://myUser:myPassword@myHost:27017,myHost:27017/myDatabase?serverSelectionTimeoutMS=2000&connectTimeoutMS=2000
spring.data.mongodb.database=myDatabase
spring.data.mongo.repositories.enabled=true

Modify time in milliseconds to desired time.
