log directory not created in recipes/default.rb

[tuky]

recipes/mongos.rb has these lines:

# Create the log directory
directory File.dirname(node['mongodb3']['config']['mongos']['systemLog']['path']).to_s do
  owner node['mongodb3']['user']
  action :create
  recursive true
end

recipes/default.rb does not and if the directory does not exist, the service won't start.

Hi,
mongo package creates default log directory. so, I wasn't assuming using different directory.
please have some wrapper for directory creation. I'll consider adding functionality as well.

Thank you.

Thank you. For now, I fell back to the default location. I think, the logs can become very large and in other cases it might be better for the logs to reside on a different location than the db data in terms of performance.

@tuky
Thank you. I would recommend to have some mount point for log directory. meanwhile, providing functionality is on the way.

This feature breaks syslog log configuration since you cannot use ['systemLog']['path'] with ['systemLog']['destination'] = 'syslog'.
