How to add a new section in logwatch report

[Donald Russell <russell.don@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have an application that uses the logger -t <tag> command to add specific messages in /var/log/messages. I'd like to add those in a section of it's own in the logwatch report but am having trouble following the information in /usr/share/doc/logwatch-7.3 in the HOWTO doc.

I added my new script/filter
/etc/logwatch/scripts/services/myfilter

myfilter is one simple awk comand:
awk '{ if ("mytag:" == $5) { print; }}'

I added the config file for it... /etc/logwatch/conf/myfilter.conf

Title = "My App Messages"
LogFile = messages

I also tried a more explicit, LogFile = /var/log/messages

What else do I need to do? when I add a test message to the log with
logger -t mytag this is a test

then run logwatch, I'm not seeing the test message in the report

What did I miss?

Thank you.
