System logging is the process of recording events and activities that occur within a computer system or network. This information is stored in log files, which can include details about system performance, user actions, and security incidents. System logs help administrators monitor the health of the system and troubleshoot issues when they arise. Logs can be generated by various components, such as the operating system, applications, and network devices. Tools like Syslog and Windows Event Viewer are commonly used to manage and analyze these logs. By reviewing log data, organizations can enhance security, ensure compliance, and improve overall system reliability.
