MongoDB logging all queries

Because its google first answer ...
For version 3

$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 3.0.2
connecting to: test
> use myDb
switched to db
> db.setLogLevel(1)

http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.setLogLevel/


You can log all queries:

$ mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.4.9
connecting to: test
> use myDb
switched to db myDb
> db.getProfilingLevel()
0
> db.setProfilingLevel(2)
{ "was" : 0, "slowms" : 1, "ok" : 1 }
> db.getProfilingLevel()
2
> db.system.profile.find().pretty()

Source: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/method/db.setProfilingLevel/

db.setProfilingLevel(2) means "log all operations".


I ended up solving this by starting mongod like this (hammered and ugly, yeah... but works for development environment):

mongod --profile=1 --slowms=1 &

This enables profiling and sets the threshold for "slow queries" as 1ms, causing all queries to be logged as "slow queries" to the file:

/var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log

Now I get continuous log outputs using the command:

tail -f /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log

An example log:
