What is LogWatch?
LogWatch is a customizable, pluggable log-monitoring system. It will go
through your logs for a given period of time and make a report in the areas
that you wish with the detail that you wish.
I recommend using Perl 5.8 to run Logwatch.
------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I install it?
Simply make a directory (such as the default of /etc/log.d) and copy the
scripts, conf, and lib directories into that directory. Edit logwatch.pl and
set the directory at the top of the script. Edit conf/logwatch.conf and modify
any settings as needed. Add a cron entry to run on a daily basis
(/usr/sbin/logwatch, for example).
------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I use it?
Well, it should pretty much work on its own, sending you an
email every night. For more configuration options, run
'logwatch --help' or edit /etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf.
You can also use it from the command line (as documented in the
man page).
There is some documentation available in Italian here:

------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want me to add support for a new set of log entries, please
email me all the log entries you can from that service from as many
machines as possible! Or, better yet, read the HOWTO-Make-Filter
and write your own!
