** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Gnome keyring re-registration messages aren't handled by logwatch, and + thus end up in the "Unmatched Entries" section, one per event. As the + items are already registered, these aren't flagging actual issues and as + a result clutters up the logwatch reports unnecessarily. + + + [Test Case] + + $ export CODENAME="focal" + $ lxc launch ubuntu:${CODENAME} test-logwatch + $ lxc exec test-logwatch -- bash + + # apt-get update + # apt-get dist-upgrade -y + # apt-get install -y logwatch + + # wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logwatch/+bug/1890752/+attachment/5407061/+files/unmatched-entries-gnome-keyring-daemon%3Aauth.log + # cat unmatched-entries-gnome-keyring-daemon:auth.log >> /var/log/auth.log + + # logwatch --detail High --service all --range all --output stdout + + Without the fix, there will be unmatched entries about gnome keyring re- + registration; with the fix there will be no such entries. + + (Note: For testing it's not really necessary to trigger the original + condition that produces the log entry, since for Logwatch the purpose is + more about making sure the entry is detected and processed + appropriately.) + + + [Regression Potential] + + Since logwatch filters logs for errors pertinent to administrators, + standard things to watch out for are undesired changes in this filtering + behavior, such as flagging or failing to flag issues differently than + before, other than the specific messages being filtered with this + change. + + [Fix] + + [Discussion] + + [Original Report] $ sudo logwatch --detail Low --range today --service all --output stdout - - --------------------- Connections (secure-log) Begin ------------------------ - - **Unmatched Entries** - gnome-keyring-daemon: asked to register item /org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/login/3, but it's already registered: 1 Time(s) - - ---------------------- Connections (secure-log) End ------------------------- + --------------------- Connections (secure-log) Begin + ------------------------ + + **Unmatched Entries** + gnome-keyring-daemon: asked to register item /org/freedesktop/secrets/collection/login/3, but it's already registered: 1 Time(s) + + ---------------------- Connections (secure-log) End + -------------------------
