db.adminCommand(
   {
     setParameter: 1,
     <parameter>: <value>
   }
)

For the available parameters, including examples, see MongoDB Server Parameters for a Self-Managed Deployment.

Commands issued by the admin command setParameter do not survive server restarts. For a persistent option use the --setParameter command line option or the setParameter configuration file setting.
