Manage remote logging

◀ Go back to main README

Description

RouterOS supports sending log messages via network to a remote syslog server. If the server is not available no log messages (with potentially sensitive information) should be sent. This script disables remote logging by availability.

Requirements and installation

Let's assume there is a remote log action and associated logging rule:

/ system logging action set remote=10.0.0.1 [ find where name="remote" ];
/ system logging add action=remote topics=info;

Just install the script:

$ScriptInstallUpdate netwatch-syslog;

... and create a netwatch matching the IP address from logging action above:

/ tool netwatch add down-script=netwatch-syslog host=10.0.0.1 up-script=netwatch-syslog;

All logging rules are disabled when host is down.
