To modify LogWatch, SSH into server and login as root.

At command prompt type: pico -w /etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf

MailTo = root

and change to

Mailto = your@email.com

<Note >: Set the e-mail address to an offsite account incase you get hacked.


Now scroll down to 

Detail = Low

Change that to Medium, or High...

Detail = 5 or Detail = 10
