Get a daily overview of your system with Logwatch
Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise and CentOS systems (and possibly more distributions too) ship with a tool called Logwatch. Logwatch is absolutely invaluable if you’re running a server of any kind as it allows you to stay up-to-date with what’s going on inside your system.
As the name suggests, it watches the system’s log files. Every day it will send you a digest email containing bits of information from the logs around your system. This makes it nice and easy to check up on what your system has been up to without manually trawling through your logs.
By default, Logwatch sends email reports to the root user on your system. To read them, you’ll need to become root, then run the mail command to enter your email system (if you’ve configured a different MTA, then use that instead of mail).
