Run full scanner test via launcher.sh (interactive) 2. Validate all 4 scanner integrations function correctly 3. Review scanner logs for correctness 4. When satisfied, plan merge to main branch VERIFICATION ============ - All fixes apply to: modules/security/malware-scanner.sh - Total issues resolved: 10/10 (100%) - Lines modified: Critical parsing and error handling sections - Backwards compatible: YES - Breaking changes: NO

|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
All scripts should reference log paths via environment variables set during system detection. These variables are automatically derived based on the detected:
|
|
- Control panel (cPanel, Plesk, InterWorx, Standalone)
|
|
- Operating System (RHEL/CentOS/AlmaLinux vs Ubuntu/Debian)
|
|
- Services installed (Apache, Nginx, MySQL, Exim, etc.)
|
|
|
|
### Variable Naming Convention
|
|
```
|
|
SYS_LOG_<CATEGORY>_<TYPE>
|
|
└─ Examples: SYS_LOG_WEB_ACCESS, SYS_LOG_MAIL_MAIN, SYS_LOG_FIREWALL

## Usage in Scripts
|
|
|
|
### Example 1: Check Web Access Logs
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
source lib/system-variables.sh
|
|
|
|
# Access domain-specific logs (cPanel)
|
|
if [ -n "$SYS_LOG_WEB_DOMAIN_ACCESS" ]; then
|
|
grep "404" "$SYS_LOG_WEB_DOMAIN_ACCESS"/*
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
# OR access main logs (all platforms)
|
|
tail -f "$SYS_LOG_WEB_ACCESS"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example 2: Check Auth Logs
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
source lib/system-variables.sh
|
|
|
|
# Works on both Ubuntu and RHEL
|
|
grep "Failed password" "$SYS_LOG_AUTH"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example 3: Check Mail Queue
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
source lib/system-variables.sh
|
|
|
|
# Check mail system queue (works for all mail systems)
|
|
exim -bpc # If Exim
|
|
postqueue -p # If Postfix
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Example 4: Monitor Firewall
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
source lib/system-variables.sh
|
|
|
|
# Watch firewall blocks
|
|
tail -f "$SYS_LOG_FIREWALL"
|
|
```

|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
1. **All paths are automatically derived** during system detection
|
|
2. **No scripts should hardcode paths** - always use SYS_LOG_* variables
|
|
3. **Mail system detection** identifies Exim, Postfix, or Sendmail and sets appropriate paths
|
|
4. **Control panel detection** sets panel-specific log directories
|
|
5. **OS detection** handles RHEL vs Debian differences (secure vs auth.log, messages vs syslog)
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Updating This Reference
|
|
|
|
When adding support for a new service or changing paths:
|
|
1. Update `lib/log-paths.sh` with the new detection logic
|
|
2. Add a `derive_<service>_logs()` function
|
|
3. Call it from `derive_all_log_paths()`
|
|
4. Document the mapping here
|
|
5. Update any scripts that reference those logs
|
|
|
