| You are looking for the traditional text log files in @VARLOGDIR@, 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 |
| @VARLOGDIR@ 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! |
