system logs how far back can I check
Can I check the logs on my Mac Mini for activity over the past 12 months? Or is there a limit?
Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
It depends. Have a look at Console in your Utilities folder. If necessary, make sure the log list is shown on the left sidebar using the button on the upper left hand corner. You can then see all the log files and by clicking on them you can see how far back they go. If they don't go back far enough, you could try using a backup to get access to older files.
