On newer SUSE and openSUSE systems, they use systemd. You can install rsyslog and get a /var/log/messages file (for example) and/or the ability to send logs to a remote syslogger, etc...

It's one of the bigger gripes against systemd. It uses its own binary database to house logs. So normally you run a command, journalctl, (if you don't have rsyslog installed) to see the logs.
