How to retrieve logs for: Compass; Shell

In the legacy mongo, there was a function called `hostname` that would give you the current machine hostname. This is actually really useful for setting up replica sets or getting specific machine metadata.

As a workaround, we can use

require('os').hostname() 

Steps to Reproduce

How could an engineer replicate the issue you’re reporting?

Call the function `hostname()` in any mongosh session.

Expected Results

What do you expect to happen?

To return the hostname of the current machine where mongosh is running.

Actual Results

What do you observe is happening?
