logwatch has identical entries for Disk Space


Hi All,

I have logwatch 5.2.2 setup for 51 RHEL servers (mostly RHEL 4.8) and they all forward to a central server for a single email to be sent each day. This part works great. However, the "Disk Space" section is identical for every one of the entries. Obviously, this cannot be true for every server. What do I need to adjust such that real disk space data is being reported (or at least reported for the servers that are running low)?

The other entries like sendmail, pam_unix, and sshd data are working great and unique for each server.

Thanks!

Does this issue occur if you create a report on the servers themselves?
What's the effective configuration that creates the report?
What's the command line Logwatch is run with?

Config

I add the following to the end of /etc/syslog.conf:

*.*;auth,authpriv.none @central.server.com.

Logwatch just runs as part of /etc/cron.daily/00-logwatch on the central server. I haven't modified this file at all from the default RHEL 4.8 install. On the client systems logwatch has been uninstalled.

Since there's no information posted I can glean nfo from that means end-of-thread for me. Good luck with fixing your issues.
