  • install iwatch on debian

    install iwatch on debian

    http://iwatch.sourceforge.net/documentation.html

    iWatch is a realtime filesystem monitoring program. Its purpose is to monitor any changes in a specific directory or file and send email notification immediately after the change. This can be very useful to watch a sensible file or directory against any changes, like files /etc/passwd,/etc/shadow or directory /bin or to monitor the root directory of a website against any unwanted changes.

    apt-get install iwatch
    nano /etc/default/iwatch
    iwatch configuration file
    # START_DAEMON:
    #   should iwatch start the iwatch daemon during boot?
    #   change to "true" or "yes" if needed.
    START_DAEMON=true
    # CONFIG_FILE:
    #   configuration file for iwatch daemon
    #
    CONFIG_FILE=/etc/iwatch/iwatch.xml
    nano /etc/iwatch/iwatch.xml

    Firstly if you don’t want it to email your local system then change:

    <contactpoint email=”root@localhost” name=”Administrator”/>

    to

    <contactpoint email=”[email protected]” name=”Administrator”/>

    If you are ok with that then the next step is check to see if it is running

    ps aux | grep iwatch

    Then start it with the service command, ie

    service iwatch start

    Check if it is running again

    ps aux | grep iwatch

    Now test it out by running

    touch /etc/test

    And you should get an email, good luck!

    Here is a good example of a configuration file

    https://github.com/kiwiroy/iwatch/blob/master/iwatch.xml.example

    <?xml version=”1.0″ ?>
    <!DOCTYPE config SYSTEM “/etc/iwatch.dtd” >

    <!– iWatch configuration –>
    <!–
    You can create several watch lists, each with it’s own contact point
    And in this watch list you can put all directories and files you want to monitor
    The path type decide how a directory is monitored, recursively or as single
    directory. But it will monitor all new created directory (after iwatch
    started) recursively regardless of path type.
    iWatch will send email alert with guard’s email address as sender
    Don’t forget to set the correct email address here
    –>

    <config charset=”utf-8″>
    <guard email=”root@localhost” name=”IWatch”/>
    <watchlist>
