You can configure a log specially for clamav, and that should be plenty.
Also, you can install logwatch and get mail updates once a day or more
often. You can also install netdata if you want to monitor in real time,
or simply watch the output of 'tail -f /var/log/clamav/clamav.log' ....
it's every server admin's pleasure and duty to watch his/her server's
logs roll by in a terminal window periodically. ;-)

Looks like you are trying to misuse logfiles as a place to put
successful/unsuccessful output that's produced by a program.
You'll want to create a separate log for your program, foo.log, and
write it to /var/log/ directory.
Others can comment about scanning a host every minute.

SUBJECT: [External] [clamav-users] connect clamscan output to journal
with systemd-cat
Hi,
I would like to redirect the output of clamscan to the journal, which
should by possible by
/usr/bin/clamscan -r /root/ 2>&1 | /usr/bin/systemd-cat
--identifier="clamscan"
or
/usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan" /usr/bin/clamscan -r
/root/
While both commands work when executed manually in the terminal, the
output is not redirected when executed by a cronjob. If I put the
following line into the file /etc/cron.d/clamav
* * * * * root /usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan"
/usr/bin/clamscan -r /root/
I can see that the clamscan process is started every minute, but the
output is not redirected to the journal.
If I put the line
* * * * * root /usr/bin/systemd-cat --identifier="clamscan" ls /root/
Into the file /etc/cron.d/clamav, it is executed every minute as well
and I can see the output of ls in the journal.
Do you have any idea what could be causing the issue?
Best regards,
Jens
