ok, so you want the report that you get from logwatch, that simplifies 
things.

when you say you can't get it to work on the collector box, more info is 
needed.

does logwatch give you the info that you want about the collector box?

do you put the logs from all servers in one file? or do you split them by 
host? (or split them in other ways)

how does logwatch fail? does it crash? give you incorrect information? 
other?
