If you configured a "Logwatch Event Console Forwarding" rule and used the setting "No forwarding" (Messages are handled by logwatch), the logfiles weren't handled by logwatch at all. They simply got dropped.

This has been fixed. If you update to this version you might see an increase in logwatch checks, if you used the "No forwarding" setting.
