How can I tell where mongoDB is storing data? (its not in the default /data/db!)

Question

My host came with a mongodb instance and there is no /db directory so now I am wondering what I can do to find out where the data is actually being stored.

Answer 1

If you could somehow locate mongod.log and the do a grep over it

grep dbpath mongod.log

The value for dbpath is the data location for mongodb!! All the best :)
