User Reviews

  • An essential tool for getting a comprehensive overview of a system's key performance indicators delivered right into your mailbox.
  • Excellent software and hugely useful for managing the complexities of multiple log files. Well maintained for many years, and super flexible.
  • Saves tons of time for monitoring many servers. Love it!
  • Great thing.
  • This is a fix to the current install_logwatch.sh file to make it compile and work on a Macintosh 10.6.X system or higher: If you run the script on the Macintosh you will get the error like this: ### Installing install_logwatch.sh: line 179: munge_gzcat: command not found makewhatis: illegal option -- s Next there are two Lines you have to edit. If you do not you will get errors during the install. The first one is : vi install_logwatch.sh on line 179 change this line from this: munge_gzcat = 1 to : munge_gzcat=1 next you need to goto line 281 of the script and change like from this: makewhatis -s "5 8" $MANDIR to: makewhatis -o "5 8" $MANDIR Now you are ready to install without any errors at all. Hope this helps others and hope that the other versions that are produced has these fixes in them.
