Logwatch not detecting clam AV updates




Posted by web_host, 05-30-2012, 12:03 AM
Hello, I have a cent os box with cpanel/WHM, I have installed Clam AV via WHM --> cpanel plugins. Its was installed successfully and is working fine, updating properly. Issue that i am facing is that everyday when i get Logwatch report by mail, there in clam section it says - --------------------- clam-update Begin ------------------------ No updates detected in the log for the freshclam daemon (the ClamAV update process). If the freshclam daemon is not running, you may need to restart it. Other options: A. If you no longer wish to run freshclam, deleting the log file (default is freshclam.log) will suppress this error message. B. If you use a different log file, update the appropriate configuration file. For example: echo "LogFile = log_file" >> /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf where log_file is the filename of the freshclam log file. C. If you are logging using syslog, you need to indicate that your log file uses the syslog format. For example: echo "*OnlyService = freshclam" >> /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf echo "*RemoveHeaders" >> /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf ---------------------- clam-update End ------------------------- How do i fix this, plz guide me. Thanks

create a file as - /etc/logwatch/conf/logfiles/clam-update.conf with the path of clam-update.log

Edit the '/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/clam-update' file. Search for this line: $ThisLine =~ s/ $//; and add the following line after it: $ThisLine = substr($ThisLine, 28);
