With the maxcontextlines option the output of the mk_logwatch agent plugin can be reduced to a certain number of lines before and after relevant messages. Previously the messages were seen as relevant if they had the level W(warning) or C(critical). With this werk messages that are marked with O (OK/informational) are also considered relevant and will have the context applied.
