REDHAT Enterprise 7.3 error messages 1

[cndcadams]

I am looking for suggestions on what files people use to troubleshoot system errors?

I am aware of /var/log/messages
/var/log/boot.info

what else is there, are there any good tools for this?

thanks

I can hardly wait to wake up in the morning to check my e-mail from logwatch. It checks all the logs you pick and can be set to e-mail a report to you at a given interval. I like it because I can see at a glance if there's been any mischief on any of my servers. It lets me know everything from hack attepts to spammers trying to relay through my mail server right down to the time and how many tries. For more info "man logwatch".

Amen, RhythmAce.

While I second IRudebwoy's sentiments, I'd like to make the observation that you probably need to get out more...

I'm the the desert. No schedules here.

50 miles from anywhere good and 5 miles from the local dive. Crappy beer, no thanks.

very nice everyone, answers and entertainment. Just when I thought this site could not get any better, people step it up a notch. BAM!!!

anyway thanks for the answers. Looking for more information on hardware errors logging if anyone has them.

Thanks
