How to access system logs [closed]

I need to find large amounts of text to provide data for a ML model (essentially for testing). I thought accessing various system logs could be interesting.



So far I have tried playing around netstat, but there is not quite enough data there. How can I access larger system logs?

          On Ubuntu, try



          gunzip -c /var/log/*.gz


          That unzips all your log archives to stdout. Likely doable on all distros with some minorr changes.
