If you run something like syslog-ng you can strip out the stuff you
don't want prior to writing it to the log files.

Supposedly, according to Butch, you can suppress certain messages by using
the ! symbol.
I was hoping for some examples from someone who is actually doing it.
No point in filling up the Syslog server with messages I don't even
need/want.

You cannot pick and choose messages. If you do Action Hotspot, you get all
the Hotspot messages.

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

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.

I have been working on routing hotspot system logs to a syslog server
However the logging commands don't seem to behave like the
documentation suggests. Not that the documentation I found is that
wonderful to begin with.
I'm using Winbox to access the routers. The routers are mostly R450s
with a couple 2011 and maybe some old 433 thrown in for good measure.
Can someone help me out please?
I'd like to send some of the default messages to the syslog box and
not have them clutter up the router inbuilt log.
Some of the formats I'd like to reroute are below. I'd actually like
to have some of them not show in the built in log at all, if possible.
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
I have experimented and even tried enabling logs with the ! in front
of them (which I thought should suppress that particular one) but my
results are all over the map.
Can someone show me the commands (either cli or winbox) to manipulate
these?
I think with that help I may become dangerous enough to do the rest
of what I'd like to do.
Thanks
Ralph
