...or servers/services/scripts do their own logging. In the latter case,
crontab logs (/var/cron/log) and SMF logs (/var/svc/log/*) might be of
interest.

But for an automated solution I'd parse syslog setup as well as setups
of log-rotation utilities (if the OS or admin cared to set up certain
logs there, it is likely they exist and may contain useful data).
