# Datastore configuration options
## `elasticsearch_capture_body_urls`

<applies-to>
  - Application Performance Monitoring Agent for Java: Generally available since 1.37
</applies-to>

The URL path patterns for which the APM agent will capture the request body of outgoing requests to Elasticsearch made with the `elasticsearch-restclient` instrumentation. The default setting captures the body for Elasticsearch REST APIs searches and counts.
The captured request body (if any) is stored on the `span.db.statement` field. Captured request bodies are truncated to a maximum length defined by [`long_field_max_length` (performance [1.37.0])](/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3028/reference/apm/agents/java/config-core#config-long-field-max-length). This option supports the wildcard `*`, which matches zero or more characters. Examples: `/foo/*/bar/*/baz*`, `*foo*`. Matching is case insensitive by default. Prepending an element with `(?-i)` makes the matching case sensitive.

## `mongodb_capture_statement_commands`

MongoDB command names for which the command document will be captured, limited to common read-only operations by default. Set to ` ""` (empty) to disable capture, and `"*"` to capture all (which is discouraged as it may lead to sensitive information capture).
This option supports the wildcard `*`, which matches zero or more characters. Examples: `/foo/*/bar/*/baz*`, `*foo*`. Matching is case insensitive by default. Prepending an element with `(?-i)` makes the matching case sensitive.
