From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To manage logs on your servers efficiently, consider using lightweight log aggregation tools like Fluentd or Filebeat, which can centralize logs in a more user-friendly way compared to larger solutions like Grafana. You can configure these tools to collect logs from various sources (kernel, application, etc.), process them (such as converting formats), and send them to a central location like Elasticsearch or a file system for easy search and analysis. For viewing and monitoring, Kibana or Loki (paired with Grafana) can be used for better visualization and querying, but if you're looking for simplicity, consider using journalctl for managing system logs directly on the server.
