Back then, on Big Sur M1, I remember checking system.log out of curiosity from time to time, to see how many things are getting logged there, because of some small failures.
Yesterday I upgraded to Monterey and I checked system.log today and I am amazed, really. Because Im not seeing anything in it that talks about failure! the only thing Im seeing there is
Code:
Oct 26 10:01:08 Rafas-MacBook-Pro syslogd[107]: ASL Sender Statistics

This either means they are hiding all the logs now or (which is more likely to happen) Apple did its job to clean up the mess and make sure that those small failures are no more. Big plus from me.

Okay so I'm very frustrated by this exact thing - I would usually be able to look at system.log and see what issues are going on with my system. But like you, I see a lot of 'ASL Sender Statistics' and that's about it... how do I see normal log issues?? (In my case, I'm looking for reasons a drive would be disconnecting or slowing down)
