Log files are files that contain historical records of events and other data from an application. Some common examples of events that you may find in a log files:

* login attempts or failures
* traffic on a network
* things (website URLs, files, etc.) that have been accessed
* password changes
* application errors (used in debugging)
* and many, many more

By making a historical record of events that have happened, log files are extremely important pieces of evidence when investigating:

* what has happened?
* when has it happened?
* where has it happened?
* who did it? Were they successful?
* what is the result of this action?
