[wellylug] hating on the Logwatch

Please explain. 

It's not actually a monitor, it's really just a log reporting tool. It
will troll your logs and give you a summary of what happened in the
last day (or whatever period you've defined).

So I can see how you would think it's the world's worst log monitor as
that isn't its purpose. But perhaps I'm misinterpreting your
interpretation of monitoring. :)
