The web pages for viewing and acknowledging files from logwatch checks now no longer need a HTTP reverse proxy setup but simply work. The use Livestatus - just like the other status data. This means that in the Enterprise Edition you can now drop the reverse proxying totally. In the Raw Edition you still need it for the performance graphs from PNP4Nagios.
In a manual setup you need to tell the Livestatus Nagios-Module where it finds the logwatch files with the option mk_logwatch_path=...... Specify the absolute path to the base directory where Check_MK stores the logwatch files. This path always ends with /logwatch.
Note: You need to update Livestatus / Check_MK on all remote sites. If you just update the central site then the logwatch GUI will stop working.
