Using Logs to Help You Track Down an Issue in Linux

Using Logs to Help You Track Down an Issue in Linux

In this lab, you'll use logs to help you troubleshoot and track down an issue. As an IT Support Specialist, it's crucial that you know how to troubleshoot and "follow the cookie crumbs." There are five different issues that you'll need to resolve, using the skills you've learned so far in this course.

Head's up: You'll experience a delay as the labs initially load (particularly for Windows labs). So, please wait a couple of minutes for the labs to load. The grade is calculated when the lab is complete, so be sure to hit "End Lab" when you're done!

You'll have 60 minutes to complete this lab.
