[Wylug-help] logwatch

Hi,

I serve a number of websites up-line from my LAN server to the internet.

logwatch often reports probes - by far most unsuccessful.

AFAIK the majority of 'successful' probes actually only show the hackers 
a root page.

My question is because logwatch doesn't report which site (they are all 
on the same IP number) was probed.  Today the report includes:

------------------------------------------------------------------
A total of 2 sites probed the server
     200.63.97.74
     213.251.189.204

  A total of 2 possible successful probes were detected (the following URLs
  contain strings that match one or more of a listing of strings that
  indicate a possible exploit):

 
//?page=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../proc/self/environ%00 
HTTP Response 200
 
//?page=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../proc/self/environ 
HTTP Response 200
------------------------------------------------------------------

Does anyone know a short-cut to testing out which site those might have 
been?  Basically, how can I see which log files logwatch has been watching?

(or any useful answer to the question I should have asked...)

Roger
