Thanks. I have that part- it is the selection of the message sent that doesn't seem to work correctly. Could you give examples of the cli commands used to send the following types of messages and only those? No matter how I set it up it sends the wrong thing.
dhcp info dhcp1 assigned 10.5.50.4 to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx system info account user admin logged in from x.x.x.x via winbox hotspot info debug jdots1 (10.5.50.6) trying to log in by http-pap hotspot info debug jdots1 (10.5.50.6) logged in hotspot info debug jdots1 (10.5.50.6) logged out: idle timeout -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Reed Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2013 4:35 PM To: Mikrotik discussions Subject: Re: [Mikrotik] Routing log messages to external syslog System->Logging Actions Tab Create new action Give it name Type is Remote Put in the address of your syslog server Put in the source address of the router you want syslog to see. Depending on your syslog server you may need to select BSD Syslog. Save that On the rules tab, create a new rule Choose the topic you want, such as hotspot. The prefix is sent to the syslog server. The action needs to be remote. Only actions marked remote will go to syslog.
