By default, the plugin will use the folder name as coverage name.The

• coverageName property allows you to specify a different one to be used to configure the coverage.
• defaultPath can be used to specify a file to be used as reference to setup basic coverage properties (envelope, size, ...)
• expand is a boolean which allows to specify whether to apply RGB expansion to paletted images. (DEFAULT is TRUE)
• timeBetweenChecks is the time interval between two consecutive checks on a file. Being the imageCollection a dynamic collection (files can be modified, deleted, ...) there is a periodic check on file existence and file "last modified time" flag. This property represents the time between two checks, in seconds. (DEFAULT is 10 minutes = 600 seconds)
• maxWidth and maxHeight allow to specify reference values which will be used to represent the maximum extent of the configured coverage. (DEFAULT is 65536 for both values)

Configure the store

In order to configure a new store on top of a folder containing an image collection, you simply needs to navigate to the GeoServer's gui "add store" page and then select the ImageCollection raster data source. Then, select the folder you want to use as root of your image Collection and continue configuring the store as a standard raster store.
