无法将日志发送到 /var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log 文件并且无法将 mongod 分叉并作为守护进程运行

Question

I am doing the course M103 from MongoDB University. They're having a lab section that we need to solve. I am stuck with Chapter 1: The Mongod Lab: Logging to a Different Facility

Update your configuration file such that:

1)mongod sends logs to /var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log 2)mongod is forked and run as a daemon (this will not work without specifying logpath)

anyone can please explain to me the detailed procedure. I am getting an error while solving it.

Answer 1

1. mongod --logpath /var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log
2. mongod --config mongod.conf
3. Login with the user in order to validate your work

Answer 2

You can simply run in the shell the following line:

mongod --fork --logpath /var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log --config mongod.conf

• --logpath /var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log to set the log file
• --fork to run a mongod process as a daemon (ie fork)

Answer 3

Apart from the previously given answers, you can simply add this to the conf file:

...

systemLog:
  path: "/var/mongodb/logs/mongod.log"
  destination: "file"
processManagement:
  fork: true"

And then execute

mongod --f mongod.conf
