Forward log messages via notification

◀ Go back to main README

Description

RouterOS supports sending log messages via e-mail or to a syslog server. This has some limitation, however:

• does not work early after boot if network connectivity is not

  yet established

• lots of messages generate a flood of mails

• Telegram is not supported

The script is intended to be run periodically. It collects log messages and forwards them via notification.

Requirements and installation

Just install the script:

$ScriptInstallUpdate log-forward;

... and add a scheduler:

/ system scheduler add interval=1m name=log-forward on-event="/ system script run log-forward;" start-time=startup;

Configuration

The configuration goes to global-config-overlay, these are the parameters:

• LogForwardFilter: define topics not to be forwarded

• LogForwardFilterMessage: define message text not to be forwarded

Also notification settings are required for e-mail and telegram.
