Where are protocol files usually stored in the system?

In Unix-like systems, protocol files (logs) are usually stored in the /var/log directory. This directory contains system and application logs, such as /var/log/syslog or /var/log/nginx/access.log. In Windows, logs are often stored in special folders, such as in Event Viewer or in application folders.

When developing in Go, if the application writes logs itself, the location of log storage depends on the application's settings — it can be any path specified in the configuration.
