logwatch-syslog-ng

These script must be used with Logwatch. Then it will produce summaries, reports and statistics regarding the operation of syslog-ng.

The output produced by the logwatch-syslog-ng script is user-configurable in its detail level. It ranges from showing only failures to a detailed summary report.

Version 1.2 fixes a bug with more than one log source. It recognises now the dropped and suppressed statistics in the Log Statistics section. The printed numbers in these two sections may not be accurate. Unfortunately I'm missing log sample for these two cases. I would appreciate it, if somebody can send me some.

This syslog-ng script is now part of the Logwatch project. The newest version is available in the logwatch SVN repository. But until further notice you will find it also on this page.


These script is tested with syslog-ng versions 1 and 2. Version 3 is not yet supported. But it may work with stats_level(0). If you send me some syslog-ng version 3 log samples I might add support for it.
