Forward log messages via notification

◀ Go back to main README

🛈 This script can not be used on its own but requires the base installation. See main README for details.

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
• Matrix and Telegram are 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
• LogForwardInclude: define topics to be forwarded (even if filter matches)
• LogForwardIncludeMessage: define message text to be forwarded (even if filter matches)

Also notification settings are required for e-mail, matrix and/or telegram.
