Bill,


The default setting in Logwatch is to report ALL the services
listed in /etc/log.d/scripts/services/*. If you don't want mrtg to
be reported you can remove it from there. Or, you can explicitly
list the services Logwatch reportes by editing /etc/conf/logwatch
and changing'Service=ALL' to 'Service=<theservicesyouwant>'. Just
add additional Service=<?> lines. ie.,


Service=modprobe
Service=init
Service=cron
etc......

Tom


Good to know, thanks.




Additionally, you can edit /etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf and change 'Archives = Yes' to 'No' if you don't want archived log fies reported.

Tom



The issue is not THAT logwatch is reporting on mrtg, it is that it is reporting on mrtg for MORE THAN 'yesterday'. I want logwatch to use the archives if necessary, because there will be days when a log is archived before logwatch has a change to read it.


I just don't understand why it is reporting what it finds in logs going back several years, instead of just what was entered yesterday.


Thanks for the help.


Bill
