+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`, there is just one parameters:
+
+* `LogForwardFilter`: define topics *not* to be forwarded
+
+Also notification settings are required for e-mail and telegram.
