Tip: Check those logs!!
Howdy,

I though I'd post this since the logwatch package doesn't seem to be installed on the VPS boxes. Since it's extremely important to stay on top of things when you're managing a dedicated or virtual server this may help some.

For those who aren't familiar with it, Logwatch is a package that monitors system logs and sends out a daily email digests...accounting information, failed logins, disk space reports etc.

So, lets get started!

The first step is to visit the official logwatch site ( http://www2.logwatch.org:8080/tabs/download/ ) and download the latest stable binary. As of this posting, it's version 7.2.1: ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/redhat/RPMS...1-2.noarch.rpm

The easiest way to accomplish this is to SSH to your VPS machine and run this command:

Code:
jgs@vps.diis.net [~]# wget ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/redhat/RPMS/noarch/logwatch-7.2.1-2.noarch.rpm
After the download is complete, you'll want to test it for dependencies before attempting an install (You will need to su root first!!):

Code:
root@vps [~]# rpm -ivh --test logwatch-7.2.1-2.noarch.rpm
If everything checks out OK (no errors or failed dependencies) you can remove the test flag and install the package (we're still root):

Code:
root@vps [~]# rpm -ivh logwatch-7.2.1-2.noarch.rpm
After the install is complete, I'd recommend that you update your locater database:

Code:
root@vps [~]# updatedb &
The next step (as root) is to edit the default config file:

Code:
root@vps [~]# vi /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
In that config file, you'll want to read each directive and change as required. I suggest that you change the log detail from low to high:

Code:
# The default detail level for the report.
# This can either be Low, Med, High or a number.
# Low = 0
# Med = 5
# High = 10
Detail = High
and you'll have to give sendmail it's full path:

Code:
mailer = "/usr/lib/sendmail -t"
Finally (yes, it's almost over!) add the job to the cron.daily scripts (we're still root here):

Code:
root@vps [/etc/cron.daily]# ln -s /usr/sbin/logwatch /etc/cron.daily/logwatch
AND add yourself to the alias that recieved root's email. Edit /etc/aliases:

Code:
root: your_email@host.com
Come shortly after midnight, you'll receive an email message outlining the daily activities on your VPS which should resemble the one below.

Happy VPSing!

Code:

What OS is installed on a VPS? It isn't Centos 4.2 like the reseller servers? Would a "yum install logwatch" do the job in one shot including any dependencies? I ran it on my home Centos server and it did the job in one step including downloading..

I'm assuming it's probably CentOS. If anything you can just type the command and see if it works. If not, no harm done, just a "yum not found" message

Yep, it's CentOS release 3.5 (Final). Sure, you could just do a yum install, but where's the fun in that?
