Some services provide service logs with information to help you diagnose service issues. If a Logs button exists in the top right of a service screen, that service provides a log. Service logs can provide the times when a service changed state, and the error messages from the service. Log content is specific to each individual service and is subject to change.
The following are common example messages:

The following log example is from the NTP service:
[ Oct 15 21:05:31 Enabled. ] [ Oct 15 21:07:37 Executing start method (...). ] [ Oct 15 21:13:38 Method "start" exited with status 0. ]
The first log event in the example shows that the system was booted at 21:05. The second entry at 21:07:37 records that the service began startup, which completed at 21:13:38. Due to the nature of NTP and system clock adjustment, this service can take minutes to complete startup, as shown by the log.
