Mostly server admins use to add their email id’s to receive all server notifications,Here I will explained how to change the logwatch email id notification.
Logwatch is a log analyser that runs on your server and mails you the results about what was happen on your server.
Just find the “logwatch.conf” file on your server and change the notification email id.
find / -name "logwatch.conf" /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
Edit the LogWatch configuration file and add the new email id which you want.
nano /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
File output :
