What does the Syslog service typically record?

The Syslog service typically records major system events and errors because it is designed to log a wide variety of system messages generated by various system components, applications, and devices. This logging includes important notifications about system operations, configurations, warnings, and error conditions that can assist administrators in monitoring and troubleshooting system health and security.

By capturing events and errors, Syslog enables system administrators to maintain detailed insights into system behavior over time. This logging can serve multiple purposes, such as incident investigation, regulatory compliance, system audits, and trend analysis for performance and security incidents. The high-level nature of the logged events ensures that crucial issues are brought to the administrator's attention, allowing for prompt corrective actions.
