As a Linux system administrator, inspecting log files is one of the most common tasks that you may have to perform.
Linux logs are crucial : they store important information about some errors that may happen on your system.
They might also store information about who’s trying to access your system, what a specific service is doing, or about a system crash that happened earlier.
