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