similar to: Need some help with logwatch.

After some experimenting I have observed that overriding settings from /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf does not produce consistent results. For example, if I replace the default detail configuration in etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf with: Detail = High It does indeed change the level of detail from the default Low set in

CentOS-6.6 Can logwatch be configured to display the system uptime as part of the reporting prologue? If not then what would be the recommended way of including this information in a daily logwatch report? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.

The Logwatch imapd service script distributed with CentOS-6 does not generate anything when I run logwatch --service all on a cyrus-imapd host. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a separate script for cyrus-imapd or are their configuration options required to get the existing script to work. I have found an ancient (2004) logwatch service script for cyrus-imapd but I was sort of hoping that

vsftpd-2.0.1-5 I am trying to get vsftpd to start with ssl_enabled=yes and not having much success. The config file works when ssl_enabled=No and does not work when ssl_enabled=Yes. I have tried setting the following: rsa_cert_file=/usr/share/ssl/certs/inet06cert.pem which is the public certificate and this: rsa_cert_file=/usr/share/ssl/private/inet06key.pem which is the server private

Recently we began seeing lots of these log entries on our off-site mx smtp host. I have googled this but I am not clear from what I have read if this is something we can stop altogether or should even worry about. Comments?

CentOS 6 (amd64) up to date with latest security / bug fixes.

This morning I discovered this in the logwatch report for our external MX backup host. STARTTLS: write error=syscall error (-1), errno=32, get_error=error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), retry=99, ssl_err=5: 206 Time(s) I also see many entries similar to this: 8: fl=0x802, mode=140777: SOCK inet04.mississauga.harte-lyne.ca/34091->(Transport endpoint is not connected): 1 Time(s)

(another in an ongoing list of things i just want to clarify for the sake of future courses taught on centos.) from this RHEL doc page: http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Deployment_Guide/s1-openssh-server-config.html the reader is advised to, for the sake of security, remove/disable vsftpd, ostensibly in favour of sftp/sftp-server. really? i can obviously

Hello, I have a couple of CentOS 5 servers, and third running in a FC6 domU. I've configured postfix on those servers to not deliver any email to the local system, but to instead relay mail to an internal mail server. I also set up /etc/aliases to send all mail to root to me, ksandhu. I can send mail on the command line, and I get it at my email address, delivered to the internal mail

Logwatch is installed, and I am assuming by how empty /etc/logwatch is that it is running from defaults, which I find in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services I want to customize ONE service. dovecot. Do I copy /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/dovecot.conf to /etc/logwatch/conf/services and edit it there, or do I have to copy ALL default.conf/services/* there and modify

Hello I am trying to get logwatch working on CentOS 8. System is fully updated. Usually install minimal version and then add only necessary with yum. On CentOS 7: install logwatch and get daily logwatch report on mail. On CentOS 8: install logwatch but no way to get mail. Am I doing something wrong? Or miss something? Thanks in advance Blaz

I'm trying to get usable reports out of logwatch on this new system. Looks like the reports are running in an 'unformatted' mode under Postfix/Amavisd. I found a couple of programs, postfix-logwatch and amavisd-logwatch. These sound promising. I am running Amavisd as the frontend to Postfix. Is anybody running either of these as a logwatch filter? If so, is it repetitive to run

Hello everyone - I am stumped ... Does anyone have suggestions on how to proceed? Is there a way to get what I want? The environment: CentOS 7.0 with latest patches. The goal: I want logwatch to include a report on the status of kvm virtual computers. The problem: When run from anacron, SELinux denies permission for the virsh utility. Here is a portion of the logwatch output:

Hello, I am using multiple files for logging activities for named daemon. The files are in /var/named/chroot/var/log/named/, for example /var/named/chroot/var/log/named/general.log.

I have created /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/named.conf like this: LogFile = /var/named/chroot/var/log/named/general.log *ExpandRepeats *OnlyHost

I having a problem where Logwatch is not showing any events from the /var/log/secure log file.
