BACKUPNINJA.CONF(5) backupninja package BACKUPNINJA.CONF(5)NAME
BACKUPNINJA.CONF - Configuration file(s) for backupninja (1).
SYNOPSIS
/etc/backupninja.conf
DESCRIPTION
backupninja.conf is the general configuration file. In this file you can set the log level and change the default directory locations. You
can force a different general configuration file with "backupninja -f /path/to/conf".
OPTIONS
loglevel
How verbose to make the logs.
5 = Debugging messages
4 = Informational messages
3 = Warnings
2 = Errors
1 = Fatal errors
reportemail
Send a summary of the backup status to this email address
reportsuccess
If set to 'yes', a report email will be generated even if all modules reported success.
reportwarning
If set to 'yes', a report email will be generated even if there was no error.
logfile
The path of the logfile.
configdirectory
The directory where all the backup action configuration files live.
scriptdirectory
Where backupninja handler scripts are found
usecolors
If set to 'yes', use colors in the log file and debug output.
when When to process each configuration file. The value used here will be applied for each configuration file. It is possibile to over-
ride this "when" in each each configuration file, see also section "Scheduling" in backup.d(5).
For example:
when = sundays at 02:00
when = 30th at 22
when = 30 at 22:00
when = everyday at 01 <-- the default
when = Tuesday at 05:00
These values for 'when' are equivalent:
when = tuesday at 05:30
when = TUESDAYS at 05
These values for 'when' are invalid:
when = tuesday at 2am
when = tuesday at 2
when = tues at 02
vservers
If you are using Linux-Vservers (http://linux-vserver.org), there are some special capabilities that different handlers have to make
vserver backups easier. See the example configuration files for each handler to configure the vserver specific variables.
DEFAULTS
loglevel = 4
reportemail = root
reportsuccess = yes
reportwarning = yes
logfile = /var/log/backupninja.log
configdirectory = /etc/backup.d
scriptdirectory = /usr/share/backupninja
usecolors = yes
when = everyday at 01:00
vservers = no

logwatch - system log analyzer and reporter
SYNOPSIS
logwatch [--detail level ] [--logfile log-file-group ] [--service service-name ] [--mailto address ] [--archives] [--range range ] [--debug
level ] [--filename file-name ] [--logdir directory ] [--hostname hostname ] [--hostformat host based options ] [--output output-type ]
[--format report format ] [--encode encoding to use ] [--numeric] [--version] [--help|--usage]
DESCRIPTION
Logwatch is a customizable, pluggable log-monitoring system. It will go through your logs for a given period of time and make a report in
the areas that you wish with the detail that you wish. Logwatch is being used for Linux and many types of UNIX.
OPTIONS --detail level
This is the detail level of the report. level can be a positive integer, or high, med, low, which correspond to the integers 10, 5,
and 0, repectively.
--logfile log-file-group
This will force Logwatch to process only the set of logfiles defined by log-file-group (i.e. messages, xferlog, ...). Logwatch will
therefore process all services that use those logfiles. This option can be specified more than once to specify multiple logfile-
groups.
--service service-name
This will force Logwatch to process only the service specified in service-name (i.e. login, pam, identd, ...). Logwatch will there-
fore also process any log-file-groups necessary to process these services. This option can be specified more than once to specify
multiple services to process. A useful service-name is All which will process all services (and logfile-groups) for which you have
filters installed.
--mailto address
Mail the results to the email address or user specified in address. This option overrides the --print option.
--range range
You can specify a date-range to process. Common ranges are Yesterday, Today, All, and Help. Additional options are listed when
invoked with the Help parameter.
--archives
Each log-file-group has basic logfiles (i.e. /var/log/messages) as well as archives (i.e. /var/log/messages.? or /var/log/mes-
sages.?.gz). When used with "--range all", this option will make Logwatch search through the archives in addition to the regular
logfiles. For other values of --range, Logwatch will search the appropriate archived logs.
--debug level
For debugging purposes. level can range from 0 to 100. This will really clutter up your output. You probably don't want to use
this.
--filename file-name
Save the output to file-name instead of displaying or mailing it.
--logdir directory
Look in directory for log subdirectories or log files instead of the default directory.
--hostname hostname
Use hostname for the reports instead of this system's hostname. In addition, if HostLimit is set in the logwatch.conf configuration
file (see MORE INFORMATION, below), then only logs from this hostname will be processed (where appropriate).
--numeric
Inhibits additional name lookups, displaying IP addresses numerically.
--usage
Displays usage information
--help same as --usage.
FILES
/usr/share/logwatch/
This directory contains all the perl executables and configuration files shipped with the logwatch distribution.
/etc/logwatch
This directory contains local configuration files that override the default configuration. See MORE INFORMATION below for more
information.
EXAMPLES
logwatch --service ftpd-xferlog --range all --detail high --print --archives
This will print out all FTP transfers that are stored in all current and archived xferlogs.
logwatch --service pam_pwdb --range yesterday --detail high --print
This will print out login information for the previous day...
MORE INFORMATION
The directory /usr/share/doc/logwatch-* contains several files with additional documentation:
HOWTO-Customize-LogWatch
Documents the directory structure of Logwatch configuration and executable files, and describes how to customize Logwatch by over-
riding these default files.
LICENSE
Describes the License under which Logwatch is distributed. Additional clauses may be specified in individual files.
README
Describes how to install, where to find it, mailing lists, and other useful information.
