Where does linux store my syslog?

On my Ubuntu machine, I can see the output at /var/log/syslog.

On a RHEL/CentOS machine, the output is found in /var/log/messages.

This is controlled by the rsyslog service, so if this is disabled for some reason you may need to start it with systemctl start rsyslog.

As noted by others, your syslog() output would be logged by the /var/log/syslog file.
You can see system, user, and other logs at /var/log.

For more details: here’s an interesting link.
