Viewing logs in Fedora
 
JJ Asghar; hector louzao ; Mirek Jahoda
 
Log files contain messages about the system, including the kernel, services, and applications running on it. These contain information that helps troubleshoot issues, or simply monitor system functions. Fedora uses the https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/[systemd] system and service manager. With systemd, messages for most services are now stored in the systemd journal which is a binary file that must be accessed usinng the `journalctl` command.
 
System tools that do not use systemd for their logs continue to place them as plain text files in the `/var/log/` directory. In Fedora, there are two ways of accessing system logs:
 
The command line
 
A GUI applications
 
Using the command line to view log files
 
The `journalctl` command can be used to view messages in the system journal on the command line. For plain text log files, generic tools may be used:
 
`cat`, `more`, `less`, `tail`, or `head`.
 
the `grep` command to search for specific information.
 
any text editor of your choosing (nano/pico/vim/emacs)
 
Please note that you may require `sudo` access to view these files.
 
Using journalctl to view system information
 
To view all collected journal entries, simply use:
 
journalctl
 
To view a logs related to a specific file, you can provide the `journalctl` command with a filepath. The example shown below shows all logs of the kernel device node `/dev/sda`:
