Abstract
Server log files contain informational messages about the kernel, applications, and services running on a system. These files can be very useful for troubleshooting and debugging system-level issues. DBAs often look in the system log files as a first step in diagnosing server issues. Even if you’re working with competent SAs, you can still save time and gain valuable insights into the root cause of a problem by inspecting these log files.
