# using logwatch to monitor your backups
The backup script's log file has been set up so that utilities like Logwatch can easily parse it. In order to make that happen, a LogFile Group file, Service and Script have to be created for Logwatch to generate reports. The correct (general) directory structure has been created in this git archive already. Below are the details of each file.
**If you don't care about how it works, you can simply copy the */etc/logwatch/* folder in this repo to your Logwatch configuration directory (/etc/logwatch/ by default). Everything is already in the proper directory structure for a default Debian/Ubuntu installation.**
If you need help installing or setting up Logwatch, please see my blog at https://mytechiethoughts.com and search for ‘logwatch'. These instructions assume you already have Logwatch setup correctly. The following pages in this wiki section will go though each configuration file and the relevant settings.
