Logs/Log File

Logs/Log File: A record of events happening in a system, whether that be a computer system, an application, or a network. Log files track and record user activities, system warnings, and error messages, which are essential for system debugging, performance monitoring, auditing, and incident response. These files are critical in the realm of security, as they provide an audit trail that can be analyzed for signs of malicious activity or intrusion attempts.
