CentOS - Nov 2019 - Is there an sshguard script for logwatch?

Hi all,
I wonder if there is a script to analyze logfiles for llogwatch and
sshguard?
Anyone knows?

You can take an existing script, for another piece of software reported
by Logwatch, retain the beginning and ending parts, and create your own
version.  The completed script should be placed in /etc to ensure it is
not over-written by software updates.

It can be difficult sorting-out the names of the different scripts and
their directory locations, but I did it despite being unfamiliar with
the programming language - Python ?

I did it in C5 and C6 for Exim some years ago and the result was ideal
for my requirements.

Happy Christmas to everyone.

A supplemental RPM will help you with this ...

There is a logwatch mailing list, I am on it...

If you need help authoring it, post there. Logwatch-devel on
