Subject: Logwatch detail levels


I was wondering if it possible to change what detail level a service shows up under. I realize this seems vague but you'll know what I'm talking about if you know the answer. Thanks.

Yes, but I believe it will change the detail for *all* of the logs watched. I believe Barry wanted to change the detail level for particular services. That I don't know how to do.


Nor I. One can change the level easily enough. However, I would really like to
change the Samba script to cut out some of the noise so that more information
can be seen.



I once had a problem with the logwatch output from sendmail. There was lots of stuff being logged that I wasn't interested in seeing. [I wasn't interested in seeing successful use of sendmail, I was looking for problems and hackers.] IIRC, I used the /etc/log.d/conf/services/sendmail.conf file to tell logwatch to not report lines that contained certain key phrases. I can't quite recall how I did it, but I believe the logwatch man page shows how.

HTH,
Bill
