Description

On Linux, we run fdbmonitor with the --daemonize flag, which causes it to log to syslog. On macOS, we do not use the --daemonize flag (and I'm not immediately sure why), which results in output going to stderr. As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem that we are capturing stderr anywhere, so this logging output is being lost.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look for the launch configuration of fdbmonitor in the macOS packaging setup and ensure stderr is captured and logged.
