#121 Import error in new logstash script

[Stefan Frijters]

After pulling in the recent 2025-06-03 updates I get this import error on the logstash script:

vm-test-run-logwatch-module-test>  "format" is not defined in %Logwatch::EXPORT_TAGS at /nix/store/zkr8b9vbmjf4jgzrv2fc0af3wpcwmj06-logwatch-unstable-2025-06-03/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/logstash line 17.

The scripts also contains calls to FormatHashCounts which I dont' see anywhere in the repo. Does the library module need an update or something?

[Mike Tremaine]

There is no :format defined in Logwatch.pm

There is only

=item I<:sort>

Imports C<countorder>, C<TotalCountOrder and C<sortip></sortip></countorder>

=item I<:ip>

Imports C<dolookup>, C<lookupip>, and C<sortip></sortip></lookupip></dolookup>

=item I<:dates>

Imports C<rangehelpdm getperiod="" timebuild="" timefilter=""></rangehelpdm>

=item I<:all>

Imports all importable symbols.

=cut

I would comment out the :format and try running it.

As kind of expected, removing that line triggers

Undefined subroutine &main::FormatHashCounts called at /nix/store/nggvyi2kh2sbfjc9g0iar7ykf8njszvs-logwatch-unstable-2025-06-03/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/logstash line 80.

which is why I assumed that something has not been added/committed to logwatch.pm to make this work.

[Orion Poplawski]

My apologies, I committed that script too soon. It should just be removed completely, which I have done in master.

[Stefan Frijters]

Cheers, I will update.

Closed pending script re-submission.
