+Update File-store v1 Configuration to V2
+========================================
+
+Given a file-store configuration like::
+
+ - file-store:
+ enabled: yes # set to yes to enable
+ log-dir: files # directory to store the files
+ force-magic: no # force logging magic on all stored files
+ force-hash: [md5] # force logging of md5 checksums
+ force-filestore: no # force storing of all files
+ stream-depth: 1mb # reassemble 1mb into a stream, set to no to disable
+ waldo: file.waldo # waldo file to store the file_id across runs
+ max-open-files: 0 # how many files to keep open (O means none)
+ write-meta: yes # write a .meta file if set to yes
+ include-pid: yes # include the pid in filenames if set to yes.
+
+the following changes will need to be made to convert to a V2 style configuration:
+
+* A ``version`` field must be set to 2.
+* The ``log-dir`` field should be renamed to ``dir``. It is recommended to use a new directory instead of an existing v1 directory.
+* Remove the ``waldo`` option. It is no longer used.
+* Remove the ``write-meta`` option. Optionally set ``write-fileinfo`` to enable writing of a metadata file along side the extracted file. Not that this option is disabled by default as a ``fileinfo`` event can be written to the Eve log file.
+* Remove the ``include-pid`` option. There is no equivalent to this option in file-store v2.
+
+Example converted configuration::
+
+ - file-store:
+ version: 2
+ enabled: yes
+ dir: filestore
+ force-hash: [md5]
+ file-filestore: no
+ stream-depth: 1mb
+ max-open-files: 0
+ write-fileinfo: yes
+
+Refer to the :ref:`File Extraction` section of the manual for information about the format of the file-store directory for file-store v2.
