Explanation
System logs (event logs) record timestamped entries for significant system events including shutdowns, startups, power failures, and service interruptions. When a power outage occurs, the system will log the abrupt shutdown and subsequent restart with timestamps, allowing a technician to pinpoint exactly when the outage happened. A network baseline is a performance benchmark, not an event log. Tracert traces network routing hops. A protocol analyzer captures live network traffic. Only system logs retain a historical, timestamped record of system events like power outages.
