The default syslog facility in 2.6.1 is user; have you checked that your /etc/syslog.conf is sending messages on this facility to /var/log/messages? As pointed above, this can be changed with the --syslogFacility flag when starting mongod. Can you please try a facility that will send messages to /var/log/messages, or adjust your /etc/syslog.conf accordingly and let us know if that addresses your needs? |

Similar situation with v2.6.1; got it to work by specifying "--syslogFacility local0" and adding a rule for local0.* to /etc/syslog.conf. |
