How do I view system error log?

My external backup drive keeps getting ejected and I want to see if the system error log could give me an idea why this is happening. How do I access error messages?

It will help us if you edit your equipment profile. "iOS" as currently shown cannot run on any Mac computer. Doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu will reveal your true Mac OSX version. Thanks.
