Answer / amit kumar ghosh
There are Three centralized loggin demons
1)syslogd
2)klogd
3)auditd
klogd:- collect log file created by the Kernel
syslogd:- Collect log file created by the system
auditd:- Collect log file created by the SELinux
After collecting the log system store logs on different location
/var/log/dmesg:- Created at boot time, by kernel
/var/log/messages:- standard system error message,
/var/log/secure:- authentication related log
/var/log/maillog:- Mial related log
/var/log/audit/audit.log:-Selinux related log
We can redirect the log by configuring
/etc/sysconfig/syslog
/etc/syslog.conf
