Title:
  named logs are not being reported in logwatch

Status in “logwatch” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 named logs no longer show up in logwatch reports.
   
  Not sure if this should be filed as a bug against rsyslog or logwatch.

  There was a change to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf between 10.04 and
  12.04 and a bunch of the seperate log files are now commented out and
  most things are only in /var/log/syslog

  Since the /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/named.conf lists
  "messages" as the log file it never reports any log data.

  I changed my /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf by uncommenting these
  lines (match the config in 10.04):

  daemon.
  lpr.
  user.
  mail.info
  mail.warn
  *.=debug
  *.=info

  The last one above sends most stuff to the messages file so named logs
  entries show up in logwatch reports after making the above changes.

  Part of me believes rsyslog should be considered the problem but on
  the other hand if rsyslog is "correct" then logwatch's named.conf
  needs to be overiden in dist.conf to correct for the rsyslog change.
