 every day, every server sends a flood of warnings about anomalies in logs.
 every day, every admin ignores those because they are unactionable. this
 is typical alert fatigue: too much information, nothing to do with it.

 we should either spend a lot of time to fix this and silence those
 warnings, or just remove logwatch from all servers. i would tend to do the
 latter.
