Logwatch Logwatch is a tool that will monitor your server's logs and email the administrator a digest on a daily basis.

Installation Prerequisites

  • Ensure email is working. Instructions for doing so may be found in MailServer.
  • Turn on universe repository. Instructions for doing so may be found in Repositories.

Instructions Update your package list with:

$ sudo apt-get update Install Logwatch with:

$ sudo apt-get install logwatch Notes Create a directory the Logwatch package in the repositories currently does not create, but is required for proper operation:


$ sudo mkdir /var/cache/logwatch Configuration shouldn't be edited in the install directory (/usr/share/logwatch). Copy logwatch.conf to /etc/logwatch before editing:


$ sudo cp /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf /etc/logwatch/conf/ Edit logwatch.conf to put in the e-mail where you want the report sent:

MailTo = me@example.com Detail level of the logwatch report can be Low, Med or High. Default level is Low. To change that, edit the newly copied logwatch.conf:

Detail = High For Ubuntu systems with apache server:


sudo cp /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/http.conf /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/ Then add *combined.log files to the list
