Configure and Deploy Auditing¶
On this page
MongoDB Enterprise provides the capability to audit mongod and mongos instances. The auditing facility allows administrators and users to track system activity for deployments with multiple users and applications. Administrators can configure auditing to write to the console, syslog, a JSON file or a BSON file. You can also use filters to restrict which events are logged.
