Linux Logwatch的学习总结

Posted 2020-09-14

Logwatch功能介绍

 

Logwatch是一款Perl脚本编写的、开源的日志分析工具。它能对原始的日志文件进行解析并转换成结构化格式的文档，也能根据您的使用情况和需求来定制报告。Logwatch的特点是配置简单、监控、分析日志方便，而且可以对某些功能进行定制化。 项目源码位于https://sourceforge.net/projects/logwatch/ 。

 

LogWatch的官文档介绍：

Logwatch is a customizable, pluggable log-monitoring system. It will go through your logs for a given period of time and make a report in the areas that you wish with the detail that you wish.

Logwatch的配置介绍

 

Logwatch的配置文件为 /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf ，初始安装后，这个配置文件是空的。你可以将配置文件的模板拷贝过来，如果不做这一步，就会默认使用/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf 这个配置文件。

[[email protected] ~]# more  /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf

# Local configuration options go here (defaults are in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf)

[[email protected] ~]# cp  /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf  /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf 

cp: overwrite `/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf‘? yes

 

配置的具体参数介绍：

 

LogDir = /var/log                系统日志或需要分析日志所在路径

TmpDir = /var/cache/logwatch     临时文件位置

Output = stdout                  输出格式（stdout 屏幕上显示）

Format = text                    输出格式，有text、html选项可以选择

Encode = none                    编码格式

MailTo = root                    分析结果发送给那些人或邮件组。多个邮箱逗号隔开

MailFrom = Logwatch              邮件的发件人

Range = yesterday                处理什么时候的日志 , 可选项 All（所有） ,Yesterday（昨天） , Today（今天）

                                 Range = "1 hours ago for that hour"

                                 Range = "-7 days"

                                 Range = "between -7 days and -3 days"

                                 Range = "since March 15, 2017"

                                 Range = "first Friday in October"

                                 Range = "2017/04/15 12:50:15 for that second"

Detail = Low                     该参数控制着 Logwatch 报告的详细程, 可选项：Low , Med , High 也可以用0-10数字表示

                                 其中High、Med、Low 几个选项分别代表着10、5和0数字。

Service = All                    监控所有服务 all

Service = "-httpd"               不监控的服务前面加 “-” , 如 -httpd ,即不监控 httpd 服务 , 可以写多条

mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" 发送邮件的方式（可以选sendmail，postfix,Qmail）

 

注意不同版本的Logwatch的参数有所区别，例如如下logwatch-7.3-9与logwatch-7.4.3的对比如下

[[email protected] ~]# sed -n "/^\\s*[^#\\t].*$/p" /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf

LogDir = /var/log

TmpDir = /var/cache/logwatch

MailTo = root

MailFrom = Logwatch

Print = No

Range = yesterday

Detail = Low 

Service = All

Service = "-zz-network"     # Prevents execution of zz-network service, which

                            # prints useful network configuration info.

Service = "-zz-sys"         # Prevents execution of zz-sys service, which

                            # prints useful system configuration info.

Service = "-eximstats"      # Prevents execution of eximstats service, which

                            # is a wrapper for the eximstats program.

mailer = "sendmail -t"

[[email protected] ~]# sed -n "/^\\s*[^#\\t].*$/p" /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf 

LogDir = /var/log

TmpDir = /var/cache/logwatch

Output = stdout

Format = text

Encode = none

MailTo = root

MailFrom = Logwatch

Range = yesterday

Detail = Low

Service = All

Service = "-zz-network"     # Prevents execution of zz-network service, which

                            # prints useful network configuration info.

Service = "-zz-sys"         # Prevents execution of zz-sys service, which

                            # prints useful system configuration info.

Service = "-eximstats"      # Prevents execution of eximstats service, which

                            # is a wrapper for the eximstats program.

mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"

[[email protected] ~]# 

 

Logwatch 并不是以系统服务形式来跑的 ,而是在/etc/cron.daily下生成了一个脚本/etc/cron.daily/0logwatch ，有些版本是一个软链 。如下所示。 当然你也可以在crontab里面设置自己的作业.如果要使用发送邮件功能，你必须提前进行配置。例如，配置sendmail。

 

logwatch-7.3-9

 

[[email protected] ~]# ls -l /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Apr 23  2015 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch -> /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl

 

logwatch-7.4.3

[[email protected] tmp]# more  /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch

#!/bin/sh

#Set logwatch location

LOGWATCH_SCRIPT="/usr/sbin/logwatch"

#Add options to this line. Most options should be defined in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf,

#but some are only for the nightly cronrun such as --output mail and should be set here.

#Other options to consider might be "--format html" or "--encode base64", man logwatch for more details.

OPTIONS="--output mail"

#Call logwatch

$LOGWATCH_SCRIPT $OPTIONS

exit 0

[[email protected] tmp]# ls -l  /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 434 Apr 27 15:09 /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch

[[email protected] tmp]# 

 

Logwatch的用例介绍

 

1: 查看logwatch的帮助信息（注意不同版本间的区别）

                             where help will describe additional options

--numeric: Display addresses numerically rather than symbolically and numerically

           (saves  a  nameserver address-to-name lookup).

2：Logwatch的使用案例：

 

logwatch --service sshd --print

logwatch --detail High --Service All --range All --print

logwatch --detail High --Service All --range All --output stdout

logwatch --detail 10 --range today --service http --service postfix --service zz-disk_space --format html --output file --filename /tmp/logwatch.html

注意上面有些版本不能执行，例如logwatch-7.4.3中就没有参数--print，需要用参数--output

[[email protected] ~]#  logwatch --service sshd --print
