Application log records the progress of the execution of an application, whereas the system log record system events.

System Logs provides a variety of logs that you can use to troubleshoot and debug transactions.

Few Examples:
1. Generally used to debug the server-side code using "gs.log()" where the result can be seen in syslog table.
2. All outbound web services requests such as REST and SOAP requests.
3. All email notifications sent from all instances within the system.
