==MongoDB Configuration==

MongoDB documentation on configuration: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/configuration-options/

By default, MongoDB will not require a config file, and if you don't specify one, it makes some weird decisions.

To start mongodb with a specified config file, use the --config or -f options:

<pre>
mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf
mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf
</pre>

Core mongodb config sections:
* systemLog
* net

===systemLog===

<pre>
# default:

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

can also set verbosity (0-5):

<pre>
systemLog:
destination: file
path: /var/log/mongodb/mongod.log
verbosity: 2
logRotate: rename
</pre>

If using logrotate util, set <code>logRotate: reopen</code>

Can further customize log behavior for specific components (access, commands, etc.)

===net===

<pre>
net:
port: 27017
bindIp: 10.0.0.1
ipv6: True
</pre>

There are also several options for SSL. Those go into an ssl subsection of the net section of the config file.
