Install Procedure for logwatch

Requirements

To install logwatch you will need the following:
  • a installed and supported operating system (e.g. CentOS 8.x)
  • root-access
  • a fast internet connection

Preliminary Note

Install

Install logwatch:

yum install logwatch

Configure

override default output to stdout by

vim /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf


# Local configuration options go here (defaults are in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf)
Output = mail

reduce noise in output

see also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231364#c38
Just for the records: logwatch uses Perl style regexes in ignore.conf . So look at

man 1 perlre

vim /etc/logwatch/conf/ignore.conf
