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:
- Debian/Ubuntu: rsyslog
- RHEL/Fedora:
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
Ubuntu:
