Issue
Empty /var/log/messages can be a cause, of why some features like Exim+Dovecot brute-force attack protection don't work.
Environment
- Imunify360
- /var/log/messages
- rsyslog
Solution
1. Check if /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf (of any default configuration file) has commented section. It yes - uncomment it:
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
2. Change permission to the right one (check it before with ls -la /var/log)
chown syslog:adm /var/log/messages
3. Restart rsyslog
service rsyslog restart
4. Check if /var/log/messages has content.
Cause
Logging can be disabled in the settings and needs to be enabled again for Imunify360 to function correctly.
