Description
This test case tests if system logging infrastructure is available and working as expected.
Setup
- Install Fedora according to QA:Testcase_Boot_default_install, using one of the release-blocking media (e.g. Workstation live image or Server DVD).
- If necessary, reboot your system after the installation.
How to test
- If you are using a graphical environment, open a terminal window.
- Check if system logging facility is working:
sudo journalctl -aeb
- If rsyslog is installed (for example, on the Server Edition), check:
sudo tail /var/log/secure
Expected Results
- Log files should not be empty.
- The last entries in logs should correspond to the current date and time.
