# Index Documents into MetaStore

To index documents into MetaStore

1. Stop CFS.
2. Open the CFS configuration file.

3. In the `[Indexing]` section, use the `IndexerSections` parameter to specify the names of the sections that contain indexing settings. If this parameter is already set, add the name of the new indexer to the list. For example:

       [Indexing]
       IndexerSections=IdolServer,MetaStore

4. Create a new section in the CFS configuration file, with the same name that you specified in the `IndexerSections` parameter. In the new section, set the following parameters:

   `IndexerType` | Set this parameter to `MetaStore`.
   `Host` | The host name or IP address of the MetaStore.
   `Port` | The port of the MetaStore.
   `SSLConfig` | (Optional) The name of the section in the CFS configuration file that contains the SSL settings to use for communicating with the MetaStore.

   For example:

       [MetaStore]
       IndexerType=MetaStore
       Host=localhost
       Port=4500

   For more information about these parameters and other parameters that you can set to customize the indexing process, refer to the Connector Framework Server Reference.

5. Save and close the configuration file.
