Forward log messages via notification
=====================================

[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)

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.
