I want a simple, working, logging system, which is logging from (re)start
by default.
I was logging the system events (auth/sshd, kernel, security, firewall,
boot, wtmp, btmp, zypper, driver-installer, fail2ban, rkhunter, other
system services, Xorg, desktops, vnc,  etc.) and some other user services
(apache2, mail: Postfix, dovecot, spamd, amavis, clamd; mysql, 
transmission-daemon, plexmediaserver) to var/log(/subdirectory).
The selecting, importance and filtering does not matter.
Obviously I need these logs to logrotate some times.
I do not need spool and sending/receiving to/from servers; only the event
logs in some files on my server.

Simply I want to see the log files in the log directory (/var/log) and
rotate is period.

In the fresh openSuSE there are two logging systems: rsyslog (as I
mentioned above) and a syslog-ng. Only one can be active, but the ng can
not use the system resources and have errors. None of the works now.
