MongoDB Aggregate

MongoDB Aggregate

Certified

Run an aggregation pipeline

Executes a MongoDB aggregation pipeline on a collection. Pipeline stages are rendered from Flow variables as BSON documents. Allows disk use by default, caps server execution at 60s, batches 1000 docs, and can fetch results or store them to internal storage.

yaml
type: io.kestra.plugin.mongodb.Aggregate

Simple aggregation pipeline to group and sum data

yaml
id: mongodb_aggregate
namespace: company.team

tasks:
  - id: aggregate
    type: io.kestra.plugin.mongodb.Aggregate
    connection:
      uri: "mongodb://root:example@localhost:27017/?authSource=admin"
    database: "my_database"
    collection: "sales"
    pipeline:
      - $match:
          status: "active"
      - $group:
          _id: "$category"
          total:
            $sum: "$amount"
          count:
            $sum: 1
      - $sort:
          total: -1

Complex aggregation with lookup and data transformation

yaml
id: mongodb_complex_aggregate
namespace: company.team

tasks:
  - id: aggregate_with_lookup
    type: io.kestra.plugin.mongodb.Aggregate
    connection:
      uri: "mongodb://root:example@localhost:27017/?authSource=admin"
    database: "my_database"
    collection: "users"
    pipeline:
      - $lookup:
          from: "orders"
          localField: "_id"
          foreignField: "userId"
          as: "userOrders"
      - $addFields:
          totalOrders:
            $size: "$userOrders"
          totalSpent:
            $sum: "$userOrders.amount"
      - $project:
          name: 1
          email: 1
          totalOrders: 1
          totalSpent: 1
      - $match:
          totalOrders:
            $gt: 0
    allowDiskUse: true
    maxTimeMs: 30000

SubTypeobject

Aggregation pipeline

List of stages as BSON string/array or map list rendered before execution.

Defaulttrue

Allow disk use

Enables server-side temp files when a stage exceeds 100 MB; defaults to true.

Assets this task consumes as inputs or produces as outputs, for lineage tracking and the asset graph (Enterprise Edition). A flow declaring this property on a task is rejected in the open-source edition.

Definitions
assetFailureBehaviorstring
Possible Values
IGNOREFAILWARN

Asset failure behavior

Behavior applied to the task state when a declared asset fails to render, emit, or be persisted (e.g. a lock conflict): FAIL escalates it to FAILED, WARN (default) warns it if it would otherwise succeed, IGNORE leaves the state untouched.

enableAutobooleanstring

Whether to auto-register assets referenced dynamically at runtime that are not statically declared in inputs or outputs.

inputsarray

The assets consumed as inputs.

Server-side limit for the pipeline; defaults to 60000.

DefaultFETCH
Possible Values
STOREFETCHFETCH_ONENONE

Result handling

Fetch returns rows in output; STORE writes an Ion file to internal storage. Defaults to FETCH.

Aggregation rows

Present when result handling is FETCH.

Documents returned

Formaturi

Stored result URI

Internal storage URI when result handling is STORE.

Unitcount

Number of documents returned by the aggregation pipeline
