ansible-role-logwatch's Issues

Weekly report

In order to report weekly, I think libdate-manip-perl needs to be installed so that you can pass advanced range syntax to logwatch, e.g. logwatch_range: between -7 days and -1 days

Otherwise logwatch will complain it cannot parse the range option.

Technically, this could be done through logwatch_packages, but in that case the README could include the example configuration required for a weekly report:

logwatch_cron_time: weekly
logwatch_range: between -7 days and -1 days
logwatch_packages:
  - logwatch
  - libdate-manip-perl

Undefined variable `logwatch_mail_to`

I'm using version v0.1-alpha but getting this error:

TASK [hwwilliams.logwatch : Ensure Logwatch Configuration File Is Present] *******************************************************************************************************
fatal: [jump2d]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "AnsibleUndefinedVariable: 'logwatch_mail_to' is undefined"}

It looks like this is fixed on master, maybe you want to create a new release/tag?

Configuration seems invalid Wrong configuration entry for "Service", if "All" selected, only "-" items are allowed

$ sudo logwatch
Wrong configuration entry for "Service", if "All" selected, only "-" items are allowed

/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf looks like:

## Ansible managed

MailFrom = Logwatch
MailTo = [email protected]
Detail = 9
Range = between -7 days and -1 days
Output = stdout
Format = text
Service = True}
}
}
