System event log

A System Event Log is a record maintained by a computer or device that captures important activities and occurrences, such as startups, errors, updates, or hardware issues. It helps technicians and users monitor the system's health and troubleshoot problems by providing a chronological account of events. Think of it as a detailed journal that tracks what the system does over time, making it easier to identify and resolve issues when things go wrong or to review recent activity.
