Security+ ยท 4.0 Security Operations
Syslog
The Unix tradition for system logging: priority, facility, message. over UDP or TCP, locally or to a remote collector. rsyslog and systemd-journald are the modern implementations.
How this shows up at NCAE
Every NCAE service logs via syslog or journald. `journalctl` is how you read systemd-journal. `/var/log/*` is where rsyslog still drops traditional flat files.
