Some of us who came up on the ops side routinely check logs. It is both how you spot problems other monitors might miss and partly how you learn how your system works (or doesn't). Especially with MacOS, where the documentation quality ranges from shit to nonexistent and the source is unavailable.
- ls612 3y agoIs the log clarity on macOS better than the mess that is the Event Log in windows?
- newaccount74 3y ago"Clarity" is not a word I would use to describe the macOS logs. The number of log entries shown in the console is overwhelming. All the background services constantly log ~100 messages per second, so the log entries you are looking for disappear immediately. You can use the search filters to narrow down messages if you know what you are looking for, but if you don't already have a suspicion where the problem is coming from, then the macOS logs are close to useless.
