Abstract
The intent of this paper is to help the reader follow a process of thinking that will provide them with the tools to understand the fundamentals of system logging. Hopefully at the end you will be able to identify the best implementation for your particular environment. This paper focuses on logging using syslog which has become the de facto logging standard on UNIX based systems. Though this is syslog and UNIX specific I would hope the general discussions on logging would be helpful for any log implementation.
