Logwatch功能介绍
Logwatch是一款Perl脚本编写的、开源的日志分析工具。它能对原始的日志文件进行解析并转换成结构化格式的文档，也能根据您的使用情况和需求来定制报告。Logwatch的特点是配置简单、监控、分析日志方便，而且可以对某些功能进行定制化。 项目源码位于https://sourceforge.net/projects/logwatch/ 。
LogWatch的官文档介绍：
Logwatch is a customizable, pluggable log-monitoring system. It will go through your logs for a given period of time and make a report in the areas that you wish with the detail that you wish.

Logwatch的配置介绍
Logwatch的配置文件为 /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf ，初始安装后，这个配置文件是空的。你可以将配置文件的模板拷贝过来，如果不做这一步，就会默认使用/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf 这个配置文件。
[root@DB-Server ~]# more /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
# Local configuration options go here (defaults are in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf)
[root@DB-Server ~]# cp /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
cp: overwrite `/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf'? yes
配置的具体参数介绍：
LogDir = /var/log 系统日志或需要分析日志所在路径
TmpDir = /var/cache/logwatch 临时文件位置
Output = stdout 输出格式（stdout 屏幕上显示）
Format = text 输出格式，有text、html选项可以选择
Encode = none 编码格式
MailTo = root 分析结果发送给那些人或邮件组。多个邮箱逗号隔开
MailFrom = Logwatch 邮件的发件人
Range = yesterday 处理什么时候的日志 , 可选项 All（所有） ,Yesterday（昨天） , Today（今天）
Range = "1 hours ago for that hour"
Range = "-7 days"
Range = "between -7 days and -3 days"
Range = "since March 15, 2017"
Range = "first Friday in October"
Range = "2017/04/15 12:50:15 for that second"
Detail = Low 该参数控制着 Logwatch 报告的详细程, 可选项：Low , Med , High 也可以用0-10数字表示
其中High、Med、Low 几个选项分别代表着10、5和0数字。
Service = All 监控所有服务 all
Service = "-httpd" 不监控的服务前面加 “-” , 如 -httpd ,即不监控 httpd 服务 , 可以写多条
mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" 发送邮件的方式（可以选sendmail，postfix,Qmail）
注意不同版本的Logwatch的参数有所区别，例如如下logwatch-7.3-9与logwatch-7.4.3的对比如下
[root@DB-Server01 ~]# sed -n "/^\s*[^#\t].*$/p" /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
LogDir = /var/log
TmpDir = /var/cache/logwatch
MailTo = root
MailFrom = Logwatch
Print = No
Range = yesterday
Detail = Low
Service = All
Service = "-zz-network" # Prevents execution of zz-network service, which
# prints useful network configuration info.
Service = "-zz-sys" # Prevents execution of zz-sys service, which
# prints useful system configuration info.
Service = "-eximstats" # Prevents execution of eximstats service, which
# is a wrapper for the eximstats program.
mailer = "sendmail -t"
[root@DB-Server ~]# sed -n "/^\s*[^#\t].*$/p" /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
LogDir = /var/log
TmpDir = /var/cache/logwatch
Output = stdout
Format = text
Encode = none
MailTo = root
MailFrom = Logwatch
Range = yesterday
Detail = Low
Service = All
Service = "-zz-network" # Prevents execution of zz-network service, which
# prints useful network configuration info.
Service = "-zz-sys" # Prevents execution of zz-sys service, which
# prints useful system configuration info.
Service = "-eximstats" # Prevents execution of eximstats service, which
# is a wrapper for the eximstats program.
mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
[root@DB-Server ~]#
Logwatch 并不是以系统服务形式来跑的 ,而是在/etc/cron.daily下生成了一个脚本/etc/cron.daily/0logwatch ，有些版本是一个软链 。如下所示。 当然你也可以在crontab里面设置自己的作业.如果要使用发送邮件功能，你必须提前进行配置。例如，配置sendmail。
logwatch-7.3-9
[root@mynx01 ~]# ls -l /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Apr 23 2015 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch -> /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
logwatch-7.4.3
[root@DB-Server tmp]# more /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
#!/bin/sh
#Set logwatch location
LOGWATCH_SCRIPT="/usr/sbin/logwatch"
#Add options to this line. Most options should be defined in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf,
#but some are only for the nightly cronrun such as --output mail and should be set here.
#Other options to consider might be "--format html" or "--encode base64", man logwatch for more details.
OPTIONS="--output mail"
#Call logwatch
$LOGWATCH_SCRIPT $OPTIONS
exit 0
[root@DB-Server tmp]# ls -l /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 434 Apr 27 15:09 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
[root@DB-Server tmp]#
Logwatch的用例介绍
1: 查看logwatch的帮助信息（注意不同版本间的区别）
[root@DB-Server log]# logwatch --help

[--hostformat <host_format type>] [--hostlimit <host1,host2>] [--html_wrap <num_characters>]
--detail <level>: Report Detail Level - High, Med, Low or any #.
--logfile <name>: *Name of a logfile definition to report on.
--logdir <name>: Name of default directory where logs are stored.
--service <name>: *Name of a service definition to report on.
--output <output type>: Report Output - stdout [default], mail, file.
--format <formatting>: Report Format - text [default], html.
--encode <encoding>: Enconding to use - none [default], base64.
--mailto <addr>: Mail report to <addr>.
--archives: Use archived log files too.
--filename <filename>: Used to specify they filename to save to. --filename <filename> [Forces output to file].
--range <range>: Date range: Yesterday, Today, All, Help
where help will describe additional options
--numeric: Display addresses numerically rather than symbolically and numerically
(saves a nameserver address-to-name lookup).
--debug <level>: Debug Level - High, Med, Low or any #.
--hostformat: Host Based Report Options - none [default], split, splitmail.
--hostlimit: Limit report to hostname - host1,host2.
--hostname: overwrites hostname
--html_wrap <num_characters>: Default is 80.
--version: Displays current version.
--help: This message.
--usage: Same as --help.
* = Switch can be specified multiple times...
2：Logwatch的使用案例：
perl /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
logwatch --service sshd --print
logwatch --detail High --Service All --range All --print
logwatch --detail High --Service All --range All --output stdout
logwatch --detail 10 --range today --service http --service postfix --service zz-disk_space --format html --output file --filename /tmp/logwatch.html
注意上面有些版本不能执行，例如logwatch-7.4.3中就没有参数--print，需要用参数--output
[root@MyLinx ~]# logwatch --service sshd --print
