You'll need to create a collection on your MongoDB server. In the example shown, the database in use is called logs. The collection name is log and is created implicitely.

var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.MongoDB("mongodb://mymongodb/logs")
    .CreateLogger();

Additionally you can utilize a Capped Collection. This type allows explicit collection naming.

var log = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.MongoDBCapped("mongodb://mymongodb/logs", collectionName: "customCollectionName")
    .CreateLogger();
