Hello, iam searching for Logs to integrate in my SIEM System, something lik /var/log/syslog i cant finde in my Proxmox 8 Installation. There are some new directions where i can find it or should i activate it?
 
Hello,

You don't see the `/var/log/syslog`? If you run `journalctl -xe` do you see the logs?
 
I assumed it is the Debian 12 way of doing things, systemd now seems to manage most things... on a fresh Proxmox 8 setup, I am also missing /var/log/syslog. I believe journalctl -xe is now the preferred way?!
 
Thank you for sharing your solution, :) I will go ahead and set your thread as solved [SOLVED] in order to help other people who have similar issue.
