Description: The System Log is a file that records events and messages from the system, providing a detailed view of the operations and activities occurring in a computing environment. This log is essential for system management and monitoring, as it allows administrators and users to identify issues, conduct audits, and optimize system performance. Logs can include information about application starts and stops, system errors, warnings, and other significant events. In various operating systems, logging is managed through specific tools that allow for the visualization and analysis of this data. The ability to filter and search logs is crucial for troubleshooting and security, as logs can reveal unauthorized access attempts or system failures. Additionally, in enterprise environments, the use of solutions like the ELK Stack enables centralized and advanced log analysis, facilitating informed decision-making and continuous improvement of the technological infrastructure.
