I have an application that uses the logger -t <tag> command to add specific
messages in /var/log/messages. I'd like to add those in a section of it's
own in the logwatch report but am having trouble following the information
in /usr/share/doc/logwatch-7.3 in the HOWTO doc.
I added my new script/filter
/etc/logwatch/scripts/services/myfilter
myfilter is one simple awk comand:
awk '{ if ("mytag:" == $5) { print; }}'
I added the config file for it... /etc/logwatch/conf/myfilter.conf
Title = "My App Messages"
LogFile = messages
I also tried a more explicit, LogFile = /var/log/messages
What else do I need to do? when I add a test message to the log with
logger -t mytag this is a test
then run logwatch, I'm not seeing the test message in the report
What did I miss?
Thank you.
