dnscache ang logwatch

There are no translations available.

 

This page is written to explain how to integrate logwatch and dnscache, a component of djbdns.

First, download the logwatch script to your server:

cd /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/
wget http://www.cypress-systems.net/scripts/dnscache
chmod 755 dnscache

Second, edit the script to tell logwatch where the logfile is looking for

vim /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/dnscache.conf

Title = “dnscache”
LogFile = dnscache
# vi: shiftwidth=3 tabstop=3 et

 

Third, tell logwatch where the logs are exactly stored

vim /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/dnscache.conf

LogFile = /service/dnscache/log/main/@*.s
LogFile = /service/dnscache/log/main/current
# Keep only the lines in the proper date range…
*applytaidate
# vi: shiftwidth=3 tabstop=3 et

 

Four, run a test to see if there is any output

logwatch –service dnscache –range today –detail 10 –output stdout
