Hi, Friends,
I find a new way to show logwatch result for clamav freshclam log in journalctl
correctly.
I have removed apt package in UBUNTU, and I have switched to use logwatch-7.13
from opensource.
$ sudo nano /etc/logwatch/conf/services/clam-update.conf
### Added by JIR 250830
LogFile =
LogFile = none
*JournalCtl = "--output=cat --unit=clamav-freshclam.service"
$ ls -al /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/clam-update
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 224 8月 30 16:45
/etc/logwatch/scripts/services/clam-update
$ sudo nano /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/clam-update
#!/usr/bin/perl
### Added by JIR 250830
while (<STDIN>) {
if (/ClamAV update process started/) {
print $_;
}
elsif (/daily\.cld updated/) {
print $_;
}
elsif (/Database test passed/) {
print $_;
In this new configures, it may try this command:
$ sudo logwatch --output stdout --service clam-update

The new call way is felt as same as my expected result:
$ sudo journalctl --unit=clamav-freshclam.service --since yesterday
--output=cat | /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/clam-update
