Linux and Unix
Similar to other operating systems, there are different types of logs can you get from Linux.
- Security logs. Linux security logs are a source of data that records information related to login attempts (success and failure), elevated privileges, and other security events as defined by the system’s audit policy. These logs are one of the primary tools used by security analysts to detect and investigate unauthorized activity and to troubleshoot access problems.
- Operating logs. Linux operating system logs are a source of data that reports on state changes in a UNIX or Linux variant operating system. This includes changes to applications, service state, and hardware events. These events are used by operations and development teams to troubleshoot and mitigate errors.
