Logcheck devel - Sep 2007 - Bug#442244: logcheck-database: should include the filters from cyrus-imapd-2.2

Package: logcheck-database
Version: 1.2.54
Severity: normal

The included filters for cyrus (/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/cyrus) are very
minimal. The cyrus-imapd-2.2 has a more
extensive ruleset (there's a /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/cyrus2_2 file in
that package).

Please copy over the filters from cyrus-imapd-2.2. I'm running logcheck on a
loghost, which doesn't run cyrus itself.
There might be a better alternative to copying the file, but anyhow it should be
in logcheck-database.

Thanks,

Alex

I don't think so. I think logcheck-database is a gross hack which
should not be necessary if there were more maintainers like the
cyrus-imapd-2.2 folks. They know best what kind of filters the
package should put into place.

logcheck is not designed to be run on a loghost, really. I know it
would be nice, but it's not the general use case. You'll fare best
if you copy the file over, or simply install the cyrus-imapd-2.2
package on the loghost and disable all services.
