** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ Logwatch fails to print info for ZFS due to invalid paths to binaries.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ With ZFS installed, run logwatch and note the missing ZFS information.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ Since logwatch filters logs for errors pertinent to administrators,
+ standard things to watch out for are undesired changes in this filtering
+ behavior, such as flagging or failing to flag issues differently than
+ before, other than the specific messages being filtered with this
+ change.
+
+ [Discussion]
In /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/zz-zfs line 54 and 55 are the
following.
my $pathto_zpool = $ENV{'pathto_zpool'} || '/usr/sbin/zpool';
my $pathto_zfs = $ENV{'pathto_zfs'} || '/usr/sbin/zfs';
In Ubuntu, the zfs utilities are in /sbin, not /usr/sbin. This causes
logwatch to not print info for ZFS even if you're using it.
The fix is just to point to /sbin instead. This is what fixed it for me.
my $pathto_zpool = $ENV{'pathto_zpool'} || '/sbin/zpool';
my $pathto_zfs = $ENV{'pathto_zfs'} || '/sbin/zfs';
