FTDC Directory Not Defined
The `diagnosticDataCollectionDirectory` parameter is missing or commented out in the `mongod` configuration file, preventing FTDC from knowing where to store data.
⚠️
Invalid Directory Path
The configured `diagnosticDataCollectionDirectory` points to a path that does not exist, is misspelled, or is otherwise malformed on the filesystem.
⚠️
Insufficient Directory Permissions
The operating system user running the MongoDB process lacks the necessary read and write permissions for the specified FTDC data directory.
