This repository includes a guide to send the logwatch results to your Telegram Bot.
Installing
Prerequisites
The following need to be installed:
- Logwatch
- Curl
See Related Links for more information about how to install and configure logwatch.
Setting up
In Telegram
Create a Telegram Bot in order to obtain the BOT TOKEN (More info).
Start a conversation with your new Telegram Bot and obtain the CHAT_ID. You can obtain the CHAT_ID using the telegram API:
~~~bash
curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<BOT TOKEN>/getUpdates
~~~
Replace both of them in the #Logwatch sh script.
In your server
Create (if not already created) the /root/logwatch_bot/logs and /var/cache/logwatch/ folders.
Copy the logwatch.sh script in /root/logwatch_bot folder. Ensure it has execution permissions.
Edit the crontab.
~~~bash
crontab -e
~~~
Add the following line to send the logwatch results every day at 8.00 AM.
