Logwatch is a customizable log analysis system. It parses through your system's logs for a given period of time and creates a report analyzing areas that you specify, in as much detail as you require. Logwatch is already installed on most CPanel servers.


To modify LogWatch, SSH into server and login as root.

At command prompt type: pico -w /etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf


Scroll down to

MailTo = root

and change to

Mailto = [email protected]

Note: Set the e-mail address to an offsite account incase you get hacked.


Now scroll down to

Detail = Low

Change that to Medium, or High...

Detail = 5 or Detail = 10

Note: High will give you more detailed logs with all actions.


Save and exit.
