Logwatch 7.3.3 has been released. It is available in RPM or tarball formats: ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/redhat/RPMS/noarch/logwatch-7.3.3-1.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/linux/logwatch-7.3.3.tar.gz Thanks to hard work by Bjorn, Mike, and a number of users who have contributed patches we have a number of improvements to a number of filters. In particular, thanks goes to MrC (also Mike) for his work on significant improvements to the Postfix and Amavis filters as described below: Postfix filter: The postfix filter has been entirely reworked, to better assist with problem detection, and to provide a hierarchical, comprehensive, and easy to read overview of postfix's activities. Each report begins with a more useful summary report, calling out important warnings and problems, and providing basic message counts, categorized rejection rates, percentages, message delivery methods, etc. The detailed section, hierarchically arranged so that totals and subtotals are easily seen, provides increasing disclosure as logwatch's detail level increases. Each section may be controlled for shorter reports, and reducing information overload, while also allowing as much detail as desired during tuning and debugging stages. See the comments in the scripts/services/postfix and conf/services/postfix.conf files for more details. Amavis filter: The amavis filter has also be reworked to use the same framework as the postfix filter, allowing for hierarchical reports, customized tuning of detail depth in detailed reports, etc. The filter better handles and summarizes a variety of amavis' log messages at higher log levels (log_level in amavisd.conf), and provides a customizable timing report of where amavis is consuming time during spam and antivirus scanning. See the comments in the scripts/services/amavis and conf/services/amavis.conf files for more details.
