Question:
Fiware Cygnus always wants to create a new MongoDB collection when it receives a notification

Description:
I want to save historical data into MongoDB using Fiware Cygnus. But whenever Cygnus receives a notification it wants to create a new collection instead of adding a document if the collection already exists. I get this error message from Cygnus:
