The function of system logs is to record events and activities on a computer system or network. Logs serve as a historical record that can be reviewed later to analyze system performance, monitor security, troubleshoot issues, and track changes or events that have occurred in the system over time. This recorded data can include information about software processes, system errors, security breaches, user login attempts, and other critical transitions that provide insight into the operations and status of the system.

Other choices represent functions that are not directly related to the primary role of system logs. While real-time feedback is crucial for performance monitoring, this is typically managed through different metrics or monitoring tools rather than through logs. Limiting user access pertains to security protocols and permissions rather than logging. Enhancing the graphical user interface is related to the visual aspects of user interaction, which is also distinct from the systems logs that emphasize data recording and historical reference.
