Package: logwatch Version: 7.4.1-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
I run a small mail server for which I need to have dovecot imap debug enabled. Unfortunately, the debugging information fills up my logwatch reports. As this is for debugging imap problems (which are quite frequent), I do not think there is any need for these messages to appear in the logwatch report. The patch below suppresses these lines from the logwatch report: --- /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/dovecot 2014-11-03 19:03:19.000000000 +0000 +++ dovecot 2016-10-16 13:43:58.000000000 +0100 @@ -145,7 +145,8 @@ ($ThisLine =~ /IMAP.*: Connection closed bytes/) or ($ThisLine =~ /IMAP.* failed with mbox file/) or ($ThisLine =~ /discarded duplicate forward to/) or - ($ThisLine =~ /discarding vacation response/) + ($ThisLine =~ /discarding vacation response/) or + ($ThisLine =~ /Debug:/) ) { # We don't care about these -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages logwatch depends on: ii perl 5.20.2-3+deb8u6 ii postfix [mail-transport-agent] 2.11.3-1 Versions of packages logwatch recommends: ii libdate-manip-perl 6.47-1 ii libsys-cpu-perl 0.61-1+b1 Versions of packages logwatch suggests: pn fortune-mod <none> -- no debconf information
