Reading Logs via journalctl
In this video we will learn why logs are important, what kind of information we can find in them, and how we read them using journalctl. We also learn how to filter and sort the logs, making it easier to find what we are looking for. - Introduce the journalctl command and what kind of information we can find with it. - Learn how to “follow” logs in real time, making it possible to detect intrusion attempts for example. - Learn how to filter out just the kind of information we are looking for. For example what service and between which dates and times.
