Log file is the file that holds every information of all the files which were accessed. This helps the server administrators to identify and troubleshoot the errors.
Below are some of the log files:
Apache web server
/usr/local/apache/logs/access_log
/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log
/usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com
MySQL database server
Exim mail server
