1 | You are looking for the traditional text log files in @VARLOGDIR@, and |
2 | they are gone? | |
3 | ||
4 | Here's an explanation on what's going on: | |
5 | ||
6 | You are running a systemd-based OS where traditional syslog has been | |
7 | replaced with the Journal. The journal stores the same (and more) | |
8 | information as classic syslog. To make use of the journal and access | |
9 | the collected log data simply invoke "journalctl", which will output | |
10 | the logs in the identical text-based format the syslog files in | |
11 | @VARLOGDIR@ used to be. For further details, please refer to | |
12 | journalctl(1). | |
13 | ||
14 | Alternatively, consider installing one of the traditional syslog | |
15 | implementations available for your distribution, which will generate | |
16 | the classic log files for you. Syslog implementations such as | |
17 | syslog-ng or rsyslog may be installed side-by-side with the journal | |
18 | and will continue to function the way they always did. | |
19 | ||
20 | Thank you! | |
