I think everyone here is missing the point OR I'm the one completely
mistaken. In any case, here goes...
What I've noticed is that the message below appears after freshclam.log
is rotated (logrotate) to an empty file:
--------------------- clam-update Begin ------------------------
No updates detected in the log for the freshclam daemon (the
ClamAV update process). If the freshclam daemon is not running,
you may need to restart it. Other options:
A. If you no longer wish to run freshclam, deleting the log file
(configured is /var/log/clamav/freshclam.log ) will suppress this error
message.
B. If you use a different log file, update the appropriate
configuration file. For example:
echo "LogFile = log_file" >> /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf
where log_file is the filename of the freshclam log file.
C. If you are logging using syslog, you need to indicate that your
log file uses the syslog format. For example:
echo "*OnlyService = freshclam" >>
/etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf
echo "*RemoveHeaders" >> /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf
---------------------- clam-update End -------------------------
So a simple way to get rid of this error is to check if clamav is installed.
In my opinion, the message shouldn't appear in the logs. It should only
appear if freshclam.log is empty AND clamav-freshclam.service is in a
disabled state.
Isn't it as simple as that?
