Logwatch

This is a perl script that scans logfiles and auto-generates reports. It sends them to you via email (plain txt or html).

Install
First, you will need an smtp mailer. You might have a look at the sSmtp program

Ubuntu 10.04
sudo su apt-get install logwatch build-essential libyaml-perl perl -MCPAN -e 'install Sys::CPU' perl -MCPAN -e 'install Sys::MemInfo'

Configure
vim /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf

change: Output = mail Format = html MailTo = root Range = all # prints useful network configuration info. # prints useful system configuration info. Service = "-eximstats"     # Prevents execution of eximstats service, which # is a wrapper for the eximstats program.
 * 1) Service = "-zz-network"    # Prevents execution of zz-network service, which
 * 1) Service = "-zz-sys"        # Prevents execution of zz-sys service, which
 * 1) Maybe Detail = High?

Example Output
Here's an example from a voip server

TBD
We need filters for FusionPBX logfiles, and FreeSWITCH logfiles.

Testing
logwatch --print > /tmp/logtest

Squeeze
If you choose html, header.html and footer.html are somehow missing.

mkdir /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/html vim /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/html/header.html
