An additional chapter will go through the log analysis via Systemd.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Linux log files<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, it is quite different from distribution to distribution, which information can be extracted from specific log files. In the following we will analyze the log file structure of Debian 8 and CentOS 7.2. The first location to look for log files should always be \/var\/log\/. Depending on their configuration, Apache, Nginx or similar applications write log files to this folder too. System log specifications and locations can be found in the file \/etc\/rsyslog.conf.<\/p>\n<p>Debian 8:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\/var\/log\/auth.log<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Logs of successful and failed authentications to your system can be found in this log file. It is also logged when a user invokes commands via\u00a0<em>sudo<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\/var\/log\/messages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This file contains log entries of general system information, amongst others, you will also find the system upstart logs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\/var\/log\/dmesg or\u00a0<em>dmesg<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The kernel ring buffer can be read with\u00a0<em>dmesg<\/em>. You will find information about the system upstart, runtime kernel module messages and many further messages according to the hard and software of your system. By default, dmesg shows the full ring buffer. However, the output can be customized by adding specific parameters. A thorough documentation can be found on the manual page (man dmesg).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\/var\/log\/syslog<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is one of the most important log files in general. Every Linux process is free to log to the syslog by implementing the syslog interface. It also logs the system upstart and executed cron-jobs.<\/p>\n<p>CentOS 7.2:<\/p>\n<p>As the log file structure is quite similar to the one of Debian 8, we will just mention the differences.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>cd \/var\/log<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>and then issue the command <strong>ls<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\/var\/log\/secure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This log file is the equivalent to \/var\/log\/auth.log in Debian systems. All kind of authentications are logged here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\/var\/log\/messages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There is no separation of \/var\/log\/messages and \/var\/log\/syslog in CentOS, all system logs of processes which implement the syslog interface can be found here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\/var\/log\/cron<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cron specific log files are not part of the syslog as in Debian. They can be found in the above mentioned file.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Log analysis via Systemd<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Systemd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Systemd<\/a>\u00a0is basically the standard Init system of nearly all major Linux distributions today. Since at least April 2015, when Debian and Ubuntu switched to Systemd, every Linux administrator or user has been in touch with Systemd. As Systemd is a complex system, we will only take a look into the log analysis functionality provided. Every process in Systemd is identified as a unit. All active units can be shown via the following command:<\/p>\n<p>systemctl list-units<\/p>\n<p>When appending the parameter \u2013all, this command also shows all inactive units.<\/p>\n<p>Logs being created by Systemd are managed in the so called Journal. These logs can be accessed via the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freedesktop.org\/software\/systemd\/man\/journalctl.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">journalctl<\/a>\u00a0binary. If\u00a0<em>journalctl<\/em>\u00a0is called without any parameter, it will print out the whole Journal. However, it is also possible to output the log entries of specific units only. In the following example, we are going to analyze the log files of the Apache web server.<\/p>\n<p>journalctl -u httpd<\/p>\n<p>It is also possible to restrict the output with the parameters \u2013since and \u2013until.<\/p>\n<p>journalctl -u httpd \u2013since \u201c2016-11-01 20:00:00\u201d \u2013until \u201c2016-11-03 20:00:00\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The above command will output the Apache log entries between 2016-11-01 20:00:00 and 2016-11-03 20:00:00. It is also possible to use keywords like \u201ctoday\u201d or \u201cyesterday\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>You can also output the log files of more than one unit at the same time. In the following example we will output all Apache and Nginx log entries which have been logged since yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>journalctl -u httpd -u nginx \u2013since yesterday<\/p>\n<p>If the parameter -f is used, all desired log entries are shown in real time.<\/p>\n<p>The above was only a slight view into the possibilities of\u00a0<em>journalctl<\/em>, there are several other useful features which are described on the manual page (man journalctl).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Log analysis via Windows Event Viewer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-432 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hoganhost.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/event_viewer_overview-768x579-1-300x226.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"366\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hoganhost.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/event_viewer_overview-768x579-1-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/hoganhost.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/event_viewer_overview-768x579-1-105x80.png 105w, https:\/\/hoganhost.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/event_viewer_overview-768x579-1.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the above picture in the left navigation you can see the entry \u201cWindows Logs\u201d.
