Viewing Logs

All security event logs are recorded in
var/log/auth.log
and can be viewed in the Authlog Viewer. For
more information about viewing logs, refer to
Syslogs
Syslog allows users to configure local and remote syslog connections to record important, non-security event
information. The remote Syslog protocol, defined in
[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3164], is a UDP/
IP-based transport that enables a device to send event notification messages across IP networks to event
message collectors, also known as Syslog servers. The protocol is designed to simply transport these event
messages from the generating device to the collector.
All log files are organized in the log directory (
/var/log
) according to the facility and priority at which they
have been logged. Remote Syslog sends the requested logs to the remote server(s) at whichever facility and
priority they were initially logged, after filtering the logs based on the selectors configured for the server.
The following log files are setup with the following default selectors:
•
syslog
catches all logs except daemon.debug, auth or authpriv logs
•
daemon.log
catches all
err
level (and above) logs written to the daemon facility
•
messages
catches all
info
,
notice
and
warn
level logs for all facilities except auth, authpriv, cron, daemon,
mail and news
A selector setup using the following facilities at level
info
and up is recommended:
• daemon
• user
• kern
• syslog
