Module documentation
Unix messages log plugin.
Function documentation
Return contents of /var/log/messages*, /var/log/syslog* and cloud-init logs.
Due to year rollover detection, the log contents could be returned in reversed or mixed chronological order.
The messages log file holds information about a variety of events such as the system error messages, system startups and shutdowns, change in the network configuration, etc. Aims to store valuable, non-debug and non-critical messages. This log should be considered the “general system activity” log.
