Mongodb spamming log

Question

I found that mongod writes

[snapshotthread] cpu: elapsed:4000  writelock: 0%

continuously.

So it one day log now about 2Mb. What does it mean and how to disable this?

I don't have enough reputation to answer on my own question, but I found explanation here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mongodb-user/6r0o4yYq2vM — Joe Doe, Aug 23 '13 at 08:33

The log entries you're seeing are generated when you enable cpu logging in MongoDB, i.e. starting it with the --cpu flag or cpu = true in the config file. Disabling that option will prevent it from adding those entries to the log file.

You can read about that here: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/configuration-options/#cpu
