I think that the HOWTO, referenced in the logwatch man page, has a
fairly complete explanation of approaches to customization.
centos-6/logwatch-7.3.6
MORE INFORMATION
The directory /usr/share/doc/logwatch-* contains several
files with additional documentation:
HOWTO-Customize-LogWatch
Documents the directory structure of Logwatch
configuration and executable files, and describes how
to customize Logwatch by overriding these default files.
centos-7/logwatch-7.4.0
In addition to the HOWTO, as in -6, there's also a logwatch.conf man
page, which includes:
override.conf - ( /etc/logwatch/conf/override.conf ) contains
the settings which overrides the standard configuration of
specific log files or services. The syntax is the same as in
log/service files.
