Package: logwatch
Version: 7.4.3-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I am running dovecot imap on several systems. I do not think I have turned on
any special logging or debgging options. But my logwatch output is very full of
lines such as:
**Unmatched Entries**
dovecot: imap(username): Logged out in=10025 out=379125: 1 Time(s)
As there are (literally) thousands of these lines, I think it would be best if
the "Logged out" line was ignored by logwatch. It does not need to be counted
as it is (presumably) the same as the "Successful Logins" count.
The patch below works for me in suppresing these lines.
