As part of normal operation, MongoDB maintains a running log of events, including entries such as incoming connections, commands run, and issues encountered. Generally, log messages are useful for diagnosing issues, monitoring your deployment, and tuning performance.
Once you are assured that your MongoDb directory has all the required permissions, open the terminal application on your Mac and type the command, ~/mongodb/bin/mongod to start the Mongo Server. In another terminal window, type the command ~/mongodb/bin/mongo in order to start the Mongo Shell.

find / -name mongo.log From the mongo shell you can find the path for data, log and config using:
