title: MongoDB: log mongod to stdout
body: <p>I have been running MongoDB on my home laptop for awhile now.  running <code>mongod</code> outputs to stdout as it should.  super...</p>
  
  <p>I just installed it on my work laptop but it is logging to a file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ sudo mongod
  all output going to: /usr/local/var/log/mongodb/mongo.log
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>MongoDB should by default be logging to stdout according to the docs.   This installation of mongoDB was done via home brew.  Why is mongod logging to a file, and how do i get it to log to stdout instead?</p>
