At work we use CentOS and logwatch is installed an configured by default with httpd log analysis, pan_unix (mainly sshd logs), sshd, sendmail, xntpd, and disk usage. Jason: you can use http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/ and tell cron to use it instead of default sendmail (postfix), and there's no need to have a full working MTA in order to benefit from logwatch. logwatch is very useful.

Or similiar application that doesn't? It's dependancy seems a large overkill just to send an email once a day. Any flavour/version of logwatch available that doesn’t require Postfix?
