    Replace the ``<option>`` with one of the following options
    supported by this command:
 
-   :option integer journalCommitInterval: Specify an integer between 1
-                                          and 500 specifying the
-                                          number of milliseconds (ms)
-                                          between journal commits.
-
-   :option integer logLevel: Specify an integer between ``0`` and
-                             ``5`` signifying the verbosity of the
-                             logging, where larger is more verbose.
-
-   :option boolean notablescan: If ``true``, queries that do not
-                                using an index will fail.
-
-   :option boolean traceExceptions: If ``true``, :program:`mongod` will

-                                    available in version 2.1 and later.
-
-   :option boolean quiet: Enables a quiet logging mode when
-                          ``true``. Use ``false`` to disable. Quiet
-                          logging removes the following messages from

-                              flushes of memory to disk). By default,

+   :option integer journalCommitInterval:
+           
+           Specify an integer between ``1`` and ``500`` signifying the number
+           of milliseconds (ms) between journal commits.
+
+           Consider the following example which sets the
+           ``journalCommitInterval`` to ``200`` ms:
+
+           .. code-block:: javascript
+
+              use admin
+              db.runCommand( { setParameter: 1, journalCommitInterval: 200 } )
+
+           .. seealso::
+
+              :setting:`journalCommitInterval`.
+
+   :option integer logLevel:
+
+           Specify an integer between ``0`` and ``5`` signifying the
+           verbosity of the logging, where ``5`` is the most verbose.
+
+           Consider the following example which sets the
+           ``logLevel`` to ``2``:
+
+           .. code-block:: javascript
+
+              use admin
+              db.runCommand( { setParameter: 1, logLevel: 2 } )
+
+           .. seealso::
+
+              :setting:`verbose`.
+
+   :option boolean notablescan: 
+
+           Specify whether queries must use indexes. If ``true``,
+           queries that perform a table scan instead of using an index
+           will fail.
+
+           Consider the following example which sets the
+           ``notablescan`` to true:
+
+           .. code-block:: javascript
+
+              use admin
+              db.runCommand( { setParameter: 1, notablescan: true } )
+
+           .. seealso::
+
+              :setting:`notablescan`.
+
+
+   :option boolean traceExceptions: 
+
+           .. versionadded:: 2.1
+
+           Specify whether to log full stack traces on assertions or
+           errors. If ``true``, :program:`mongod` will log full stack
+           traces on assertions or errors.
+
+           Consider the following example which sets the
+           ``traceExceptions`` to true:

+           .. code-block:: javascript
+
+              use admin

+
+              :setting:`traceExceptions`.
+
+   :option boolean quiet:
+
+           Specify whether to go into a quiet logging mode. If
+           ``true``, :program:`mongod` will go into a quiet logging
+           mode which will not log the following events/activities: 
+
+              - connection events;
+
+              - the :dbcommand:`drop` command, the
+                :dbcommand:`dropIndexes` command, the
+                :dbcommand:`diagLogging` command, the
+                :dbcommand:`validate` command, and the
+                :dbcommand:`clean` command; and
+
+              - replication synchronization activities.
+
+           Consider the following example which sets the
+           ``quiet`` to true:
+
+           .. code-block:: javascript
+
+              use admin
+              db.runCommand( { setParameter: 1, quiet: true } )
+
+           .. seealso::
+
+              :setting:`quiet`.
+
+   :option integer syncdelay: 
+
+           Specify the interval in seconds between :term:`fsyncs
+           <fsync>` (i.e., flushes of memory to disk). By default,
+           :program:`mongod` will flush memory to disk every 60
+           seconds. Do not change this value unless you see a
+           background flush average greater than 60 seconds.
+
+           Consider the following example which sets the
+           ``syncdelay`` to ``60`` seconds:
+
+           .. code-block:: javascript
+
+              use admin
+              db.runCommand( { setParameter: 1, syncdelay: 60 } )
+
+           .. seealso::
+
+              :setting:`syncdelay`.
