Title: mk_logwatch: plugin now also supports windows
Component: Checks & Agents
Level: 2
Class: New Feature
Version: 1.5.0i1
The mk_logwatch plugin is no longer restricted to windows.
It now runs as a frozen python binary under windows, which requires no extra python
installation.
The plugin reads its configuration from the config/logwatch.cfg file.
The syntax of the windows and linux logwatch.cfg is identical.
The plugin may be configured through the WATO agent bakery with the rule "Text
logfiles (Linux, Windows)".
The former rule "Text logfiles (Windows)" still works, but is considered as
deprecated.
Keep in mind, there is difference in regex pattern matching.
The legacy windows logwatch always did a case insenstive match.
The new mk_logwatch.exe now also checks case sensitive, just like the linux plugin.
