[SOLVED] Proxmox 8 - Log Syslog to find failed Logins

[vinet]

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?!

apt install rsyslog
