Using Logwatch to monitor the backup script

quick start

Simply copy the contents of this folder to your logwatch configuration directory (/etc/logwatch/ by default). The directory structure is already correct for a default Debian/Ubuntu logwatch installation. You must update the paths in /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/backup.conf to point to your script's log file, but that's the only required change. Please consult page 7.1.5 in the wiki for information on how to test logwatch using this new configuration.

more information

Please consult section 7.1 in the wiki for detailed information about each logwatch configuration file contained within this section of the git repo and how to customize them for your environment.

final thoughts

I hope this helps you get your mailcow backup integrated with logwatch easily and quickly. If you have any suggestions/improvements, drop me a line in the issues section!
