Disable Logwatch on Clients if a Logserver Exists
Disable Logwatch on Clients if a Logserver Exists
If your site have a central logserver which has been configured to report on logs received from all systems, then
# rm /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
If no logserver exists, it will be necessary for each machine to run Logwatch individually.
Using a central logserver provides the security and reliability benefits discussed earlier, and also makes monitoring logs easier and less time-intensive for administrators.
