How to determine system log settings for a Linux server?

Usually the /var/log/messages file is used for the regular system messages.

It is possible to find which place is used by a Linux system for logging from the /etc/syslog.conf or /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration files:

#cat /etc/syslog.conf

or

#cat /etc/rsyslog.conf
