Elementary OS manages system logs through the use of the journalctl command, which is part of the systemd system and service manager. This command allows users to query and display logs from the systemd journal, which records system events and messages.
For example, to view all logs related to a specific service, such as the Apache web server, you could use the following command:
journalctl -u apache2
This command filters the logs to show only entries related to the Apache service.
Elementary OS, like other Linux distributions that use systemd, leverages the power of journalctl to provide a centralized and efficient way to access system logs. This is crucial for troubleshooting and monitoring system health.
If you're looking for a cloud-based solution for log management, consider services like Tencent Cloud's Log Service, which offers centralized log collection, storage, analysis, and alerting capabilities.
