I'm running out of disk space on /var and it seem /var/cache/logwatch has almost 4GB of space. Can I remove everything inside and uninstall logwatch? How do I remove logwatch from the system and any affect of the system functionality.
DirectAdmin
CentOS4.4
i cant seem to download logwatch anymore
is there any site keeping archive of logwatch available for download?
or is there any alternative to logwatch?
ive got a site which auto creates subdomains and installs a script automaticly and inserts details into a mysql db. i have had some issues recent so have loads (talking 100s) of folders that are empty which i need to remove, and to remove the details of said folder from db also. any ideas how i can do this, using plesk control panel so removing the subdomain via plesk cli may be the best way in that respect but the db is external to plesk so that would not be edited

i have apf firewall installed
I am thinking of installing Logwatch on my cPanel/WHM VPS
Does it take a lot of resources to run?
Does it run once a day only or is it running all the time?
I recentlt receive this log from server:

I've been tasked with developing a default Logwatch configuration for a few dozen servers that will email their findings to a ticketing system. I was hoping to find insight here from users who are using Logwatch similarly. If you have Logwatch emailing a ticket system, I'd love to hear about your custom configs...

I am a bit confused about this. Is logwatch telling me a 400 request also served a 200?
Just got logwatch installed but config file appears to be blank?
wget ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/redhat/RPMS...6-1.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh logwatch-7.3.6-1.noarch.rpm
rm -rf logwatch-7.3.6-1.noarch.rpm
pico -w /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
This is what the config file shows:
# Local configuration options go here (defaults are in /usr/share/logwatch/defa$
I then look at that file and it's empty too.
Isnt there suppose to be config lines a file that I can alter to set my email address and stuff?

I've been getting this log watch from my server emailed to me on a daily basis. It gives me a list of all the authentification failures via SSH and other protocols. Should I be actively concerned that there's specific IP addresses consistantly trying to access my SSH account? Likewise, for any type of failed login. Should I actively block their IP address from accessing the server at all?
I've also noticed in the Connections group, there's a lot of monitoringservice.net connections -- is this normal?
Just want to make sure I'm taking an active effort on preventing my server being brought down. I mean, I have 2000+ SSHd authentication failures... seems really high.
I was searching for something else the other day and came across this (search for LogWatch on the page).
It changes the default paths for some of the log files so that they work on a cPanel/WHM server.
This will give you more reports in your daily LogWatch email - specifically, it adds exim, apache, courier and PureFTP logs.
Most tutorials only show you how to change the detail level or the email address in logwatch.conf.
So, I thought I'd share this piece of information.
I found that a few changes were necessary for my system.
So, I'll give all the steps I followed below:
1) After you have installed LogWatch, change the following in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf :
Code:
Detail = High
MailTo = <your email address>
You can use Detail = Med if you want to reduce the details you get.
2) Add the following to /etc/logwatch/conf/override.conf (you may have to create the file):
Code:
logfiles/exim: LogFile = exim_mainlog
logfiles/http: LogFile = /usr/local/apache/logs/access_log
services/pop3: *OnlyService = cpanelpop
services/pop3: *RemoveHeaders = 1
services/pureftpd: LogFile = messages
services/pureftpd: $show_logins = 1
services/pureftpd: $show_logouts = 1
services/pureftpd: $show_new_connections = 1
So, if you are not bored reading LogWatch's daily logs and would like to increase your workload, you now know how to
How have you configured your LogWatch installation ? Or do you use something other than LogWatch?
I logged into my email to check for my nightly logwatch report (at 12am).
Nothing.
So I log into ssh and manually run it, get greeted with this:
You have old files in your logwatch tmpdir (/var/cache/logwatch):
logwatch.zcTV3hC0
The directories listed above were most likely created by a
logwatch run that failed to complete successfully. If so, you
may delete these directories.
I last ran logwatch around 10:30pm, it worked fine.
I try to run logwatch again, same error.. except now there's another temp file showing beneath the first.
I go ahead and delete both of them, run logwatch again...it worked. I also got the other reports from when I tried running logwatch manually and was stopped with this error.
I've never had this happen before, so I'm curious as to what caused it? Logwatch is in cron.daily and has never missed a single report.
Just typical data corruption (as can happen with any computer file) or could something have interfered with its processing at 12?
My /var partition is getting full and most of the problem seems to be with the files in /var/cache/logwatch/ using up all the space. Can those be deleted?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been receivig a huge logwatch report, seems that logwatch is not parsing the /var/log/secure file, but sending the log entries instead of any resume of it. I got thousands of lines like
Cp-Wrap: Pushing "47 GETDISKUSED pvargas lights.com.co" to '/usr/local/cpanel/bin/eximadmin' for UID: 47 : 25 Time(s)
Cp-Wrap: Pushing "47 GETDISKUSED r.perez konecrans.com" to '/usr/local/cpanel/bin/eximadmin' for UID: 47 : 69 Time(s)

I have upgraded to the most recent version of Logwatch with default configuration. Any ideas on what could be wrong?
Is this someone trying to gain access to the server and just trying different password or ways? The server is new with no websites hosted yet but already getting this.
Will Brute Force not take care of this?
Is this common? Any ideas?

Does anyone have a link to some Logwatch installation instructions. There nothing on the logwatch website and not manage to find anything on here or on google.
I jusy want to set it up and have it email me every day.
I have never used rpm installs before.
# cd /usr/src
# wget ftp://ftp.kaybee.org/pub/linux/logwatch-7.3.6.tar.gz
# tar -xvzf logwatch-7.3.6.tar.gz
# cd logwatch*
# ./install_logwatch.sh
-bash: ./install_logwatch.sh: Permission denied
Posts have been disappearing the last 2 days on WHT. Let me try this again.
The server is new and do not have any websites setup yet. It's already getting these entries. Is this normal? Should we move to a different SSH port?

I used a little vServer with ubuntu (turnkey) and use logwatch to be informed by email about any errors. I'm confused about the following errors from Apache:
--------------------- httpd Begin ------------------------
Requests with error response codes
404 Not Found

http://www.teddybrinkofski.com/ip_json.php: 1 Time(s)
503 Service Unavailable

These errors are definetly not from my own code. I have checked that mod_proxy is disabled and i disabled also CONNECT like here described: [URL] ....
What does these errors mean and how can i disabled this?
The market is full of VPS providers with different combinations of features.. some offer huge amounts of ram, bandwidth, managed, unmanaged, etc.. The sheer number of choices is dizzying..
My question is, if you had to pick one feature of a VPS plan that was most important to you, what would it be?
I live in Turkey. I'm gonna buy a reseller package from Hostgator which is located in Texas. I will mostly make websites in English language for business(affiliate websites) but I decided to make 2 websites in Turkish language for a hobby of mine. Should I buy hosting from a company in Europe or can I still go with Hostgator? I really like Hostgator's package but how much disadvantage would there be in terms of speed? Would people be able to tell by speed whether the server is close or not? Is there a way to test it? All my friends' computers have a speed around 100kb download per second.
View 15 Replies View RelatedHow important is PCI Compliance to you as a hosting provider? Are you compliant now?
Do you intend to be complaint? Also how many thing that just getting a scan from comodo or another scanner makes you compliant?
As far the rules for PCI-DSS state if you store CC's which all hosting companies do if they are using a billing system, i.e MB, WHMCS etc.. You have to be compliant to a fault for a 37 page document with lots and lots of requirements that most don't do and don't know how to do.
Is it worth it to not make the effort and get compliant or risk losing your merchant account and getting on the TMF list and fined $50k?
I am in the process of finding a host for my website (as I am not very happy with the current one).
My statistics shows that most of my visitors are from Europe and Asia and not much from US.
My question is, should I think of a host in Europe or Asia?
does it actually make a lot of difference where is your host located ?
How important is this from a customer standpoint? Assuming ticket response times are under 1 hour, is Live support something that customers really want? I'm considering adding it as a support option, but want to weigh whether or not its worth it.

When I talked with my friends who are into computer stuff, they'd say that it is important that the provider that I am about to host my site with, has good ping response so that my site will load faster.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI don't know how some web hosting companies get away with saying they offer 24x7 support but don't. I have come across many companies that all clam the same thing but at the end when it comes down to it they are not there when you need them.
My question is if they have a live chat button on there site and I see there sales team offline, that is an immediate sign they are really not there 24x7. If a person is qualified to manage a server is he/she not qualified to sell a product?
how can a network be monitored if you don't have a staff 24x7?
I work for a company that does business mainly in California but we have people all over the country including Boston and NYC. I'm looking for dedicated servers and found good pricing/service in Chicago but worried about response times for my Cali folks. I'm hosting a non public web app that everyone needs to use so the load is low and response times are not super critical.
Will my users experience noticable latency?
Also people that manage the servers may be in Cali as well. Will they find it fustrating to remote into these windows servers and manage them or will it be acceptable or should I find something closer to california?
What really are the chances of a drive failure in any given year?
I worked in corporate IT departments for 15 years and had RAID on everything even though I rarely saw a drive failure. Out of hundreds of drives one might fail in any given year.
It does look like some folks here have experienced drive failures on dedicated boxes though, so my dilemma is this: If both cost the same am I better off to have a box with no RAID at a good host like theplanet, or have a box WITH raid with one of the value hosts?
I am based in the UK and ideally I want my server based in the UK too. But the best host I've found so far seems to be American.
If most of my users are from the UK, then I don't want the latency to be too high. Or it so insignificant that I don't need to worry?
I was looking at [url] but if someone knows a similar deal in the UK I'd like to hear about it!
I'm receiving this email from the server :
"IMPORTANT: Do not ignore this email.
The hostname (one.icv.ro) resolves to 76.163.193.147. It should resolve to 209.188.81.112. Please be sure to correct /etc/hosts as well as the 'A' entry in zone file for the domain.
Some are all of these problems can be caused by
/etc/resolv.conf being setup incorrectly. Please check this file if you
believe everything else is correct.
You may be able to
automaticly correct this problem by using the ' Add an A entry for your
hostname ' under ' Dns Functions ' in your Web Host Manager"
So everything is working fine ..
I checked the DNS zone and every thing is ok.
but run this on the server :
====================
dig +noall +answer +additional icv.ro NS
icv.ro. 84220 IN NS ns9.ixwebhosting.com.
icv.ro. 84220 IN NS ns10.ixwebhosting.com.
====================
dig +noall +answer +additional icv.ro
icv.ro. 82792 IN A 76.163.193.147
and they are wrong.
strange that the ping is fine.. and is corect ip:
ping icv.ro
PING icv.ro (209.188.81.112) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from one.icv.ro (209.188.81.112): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.060 ms
======================
So my server didn't updated the ns. They are the old ns .. and the new one are
Name Server: ns1.wiredtree.com
Name Server: ns2.wiredtree.com
