Werk #9612: Add logwatch configuration for /var/log/syslog

Component Firmware
Title Add logwatch configuration for /var/log/syslog
Date Aug 9, 2024
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Incompatible - Manual interaction might be required
Appliance Version 1.7.5

In the past /var/log/syslog was not visible in Checkmk, if you monitored the appliance itself. With this Werk we add a default configuration, which will send relevant messages to Checkmk.

You need to discover the service in Checkmk to enable the monitoring. There are default rules in place, but there might still be messages, which are irrelevant. We will improve this in the future, step by step. Let us know, what you think.
