|
Log files contain messages about the system, including the kernel, services, and applications running on it.
|
|
These contain information that helps troubleshoot issues, or simply monitor system functions.
|
|
Fedora uses the https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/[systemd] system and service manager.
|
|
With systemd, messages for most services are now stored in the systemd journal which is a binary file that must be accessed usinng the `journalctl` command.
|
|
|
|
System tools that do not use systemd for their logs continue to place them as plain text files in the `/var/log/` directory.
|
|
In Fedora, there are two ways of accessing system logs:
|
|
|
|
* The command line
|
|
* A GUI applications
