CentOS-6.6
Can logwatch be configured to display the system uptime as part of the reporting prologue? If not then what would be the recommended way of including this information in a daily logwatch report?
Enable it in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/zz-runtime.conf

Thanks a lot! Helps you to be aware that you definitely missed something important if you haven't the box rebooted during more than 45-60 days...

It is also pretty easy to add a new item to the logwatch report. I created my own uptime module which is really nothing more than the piped output of /usr/bin/uptime.
The uptime section of the logwatch report looks like this:
--------------------- Uptime report Begin ------------------------
03:50:21 up 34 days, 17:50, 0 users, load average: 0.42, 0.10, 0.03
---------------------- Uptime report End -------------------------

More sustainable, I think, would be to copy zz-runtime.conf to /etc/logwatch/conf/services and then enable it.
Changes in /usr/share/logwatch/* will be overwritten during a package update, while customizations in /etc/logwatch will remain unchanged.
