You need to install jq package (a command line JSON processor) using brew.

Steps to install jq package :

  • Open Terminal
  • Execute this command to install homebrew: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
  • If you are prompt to enter password, then enter your system password.
  • After above command finishes installation, then run this command : brew install jq

Execute this command : cat mongod.log | jq
