Description

Logwatch is a log analysis and system monitoring tool designed to parse through system logs, such as those generated by Apache web server, Linux kernel, and other applications. Logwatch processes the logs and provides a summary of important information, such as who accessed a web server, what files have been accessed, and what services have been used. It also provides detailed information about any errors or warnings that have been reported in the log files, such as system crashes or security breaches. Logwatch can also be configured to send emails or text messages with alerts when certain events occur. Logwatch is a great tool for system administrators and security professionals, giving them an overview of their system's activity and helping them identify potential security vulnerabilities.
