Forward log messages via notification
=====================================
[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)
> **Info**: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base
> installation. See [main README](../README.md) for details.
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
* Matrix and Telegram are not supported
The script is intended to be run periodically. It collects log messages
and forwards them via notification.
### Sample notification
![log-forward notification](log-forward.d/notification.svg)
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
* `LogForwardInclude`: define topics to be forwarded (even if filter matches)
* `LogForwardIncludeMessage`: define message text to be forwarded (even if
filter matches)
Also notification settings are required for e-mail,
[matrix](mod/notification-matrix.md) and/or
[telegram](mod/notification-telegram.md).
