Hmm, it works fine for me, both as a cron job and when run directly. My system was last patched about 2 hours ago.
Are you getting any mail?
$ mail mail Subject: test test ^D $
If you get no message then logwatch isn't your issue. Next check your cron file, it ought to be in /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
Ensure that LOGWATCH_SCRIPT actually points to the code (typically /usr/sbin/logwatch)
Check that the line for the following line: OPTIONS="--output mail"
The actual invocation on my system is: $LOGWATCH_SCRIPT --range="between $day and yesterday" $OPTIONS
As a final resort, edit 0logwatch and add the line "set -vx" just above the invocation. This will generate output which cron will attempt to send to root.

Hello I am trying to get logwatch working on CentOS 8. System is fully updated. Usually install minimal version and then add only necessary with yum.
On CentOS 7: install logwatch and get daily logwatch report on mail.
On CentOS 8: install logwatch but no way to get mail.
Am I doing something wrong? Or miss something?
