MongoDB Enterprise auditing supports three standard destination values for audit events: syslog, file, and console. With the syslog destination, audit records are sent to the operating system ' s syslog facility where supported. With the file destination, events are written to a configured audit log path, and administrators can control the output format according to the supported audit configuration. With the console destination, audit events are emitted to standard output, which can be useful in containerized or centrally collected logging environments. A raw TCP/IP port is not itself an auditLog.destination value. Organizations can certainly forward logs over the network using operating-system or observability tooling, but that transport is external to MongoDB ' s destination setting. A MongoDB database is likewise not one of the supported audit destinations; keeping audit evidence independent from the system being audited is also preferable for integrity and compliance. Auditing records security-relevant actions and can be filtered to meet regulatory or operational requirements. Therefore the three valid destinations among the choices are syslog, file, and console: A, B, and E.
