Example MongoDB configuration file

Here is an example using the three directives discussed in this section:

storage:
  dbPath: /var/lib/mongodb
  journal:
    enabled: true

systemLog:
  destination: file
  logAppend: true
  path: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log

net:
  port: 27017
  bindIp: 0.0.0.0

In this example, journaling is enabled, and the database files are stored in the /var/lib/mongodb directory. The system log is recorded in the /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log file,  and new entries are added to the existing file. The MongoDB server daemon listens on port 27017 to requests from all IP addresses.
