LogWatch
I’ve recently started using LogWatch on our mail servers to summarise the syslog as part of a daily status report. Its been very useful, but I’ve found a few things lacking from the sendmail reports. This patch has been tested against logwatch 4.2.1-1, and adds the following features:
- The script now displays the number of messages virus scanned by Amavis-milter.
- We’re the secondary MX for some of our customers domains, so the script will summarise and report on the ETRN’s issued for these domains.
- Occasionally our server will stop responding to inbound connections because of a high load average. The script now summarises and reports on these events also.
Hope someone finds these useful.
Update: 06/01/03 A minor bugfix and a new feature for this patch is detailed here. Use the updated patch in preference to this one.
