Where is /var/log/syslog in Debian 12

Where to read system logs in new linux flavours. Old ones usually had syslog

Debian 12 has moved the syslog to journalctl. So just run below command and you will be greeted with the logs running through the screen.

journalctl -f

If you want to check the logs from for example apache:

journalctl -u apache2.service

If you want to format the logs as json, just append o json-pretty
