Logwatch and it's 7MB emails :-(

Hi all,

I've been trying for some day's now, but I can not find a way to 'fix' it...

I've got Logwatch running on a cron job every night, and it's working really nice!.. To nice !!!

(not sure why it's 2 times in the Cron, but that's how it was setup after installing Fedora RC4)

Every day I get 2 emails from Logwatch.
One is nice and small, but the other one is about 7MB everyday!
The part that is making it really big is the http, so now I would like LogWatch NOT to report that part!

I've added Service = "-http" to all the logwatch.conf files that I found on the system, but it did not work!

Am I missing something here?

It's the part that is in:
--------------------- httpd Begin ------------------------
..
..
--------------------- httpd Edn ------------------------

 

What's in your logwatch.conf file? Did you restart logwatch?

 

I've got 4 logwatch.conf files

This is what in the files:
In the: /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf

In the: /etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf (and symlink: /etc/log.d/logwatch.conf)

In the: /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf

Euhhhhhhh.. no.. For sure this is the problem :/
How do I restart it (I do not really want to do a reboot)

 

Do you have a logwatch init script in /etc/init.d?
You can then restart it with

Code:

/etc/init.d/logwatch restart

(or whatever the name of the init script is).
