Linux logs are save usually in /var/log folder. Most linux distribution uses syslog, syslog-ng or rsyslog software for logging or sending them to remote servers. Analytics and visualisation software such a Elasticsearch and Kibana can be used for log inspection.
Usage by Distribution:
Standard logs:
- Debian/Ubuntu:
/var/log/syslog - RHEL/Fedora:
/var/log/message
SSH sessions logging:
- Debian/Ubuntu:
/var/log/auth.log - RHEL/Fedora:
/var/log/secure
Misc:
- SUSE:
/var/log/warn.log
/var/log/message – Where whole system logs or current activity logs are available. /var/log/auth.log – Authentication logs. /var/log/kern.log – Kernel logs. /var/log/cron.log – Crond logs (cron job). /var/log/maillog – Mail server logs. /var/log/boot.log – System boot log. /var/log/mysqld.log – MySQL database server log file. /var/log/secure – Authentication log. /var/log/utmp or /var/log/wtmp : Login records file. /var/log/yum.log: Yum log files.
Rsyslog[edit]
Rsyslogd supports queued operations to handle offline outputs. Official documentation: https://www.rsyslog.com/doc/v8-stable/configuration/index.html
Rsyslog Configuration[edit]
Default configuration files by Distribution:
- Debian:
/etc/rsyslog.confman rsyslog.conf: https://linux.die.net/man/5/rsyslog.conf - Ubuntu:
/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
