Christian Hesse de61c14c60 log-forward: implement reverse logic to include messages...
... even if a filter matches to exclude them. Let's have an example:

:global LogForwardFilter "(debug|info)";
:global LogForwardInclude "account";

This will forward everything about topic *account* (login, logout,
failed login, ...) - even with topic *info*.

Forward log messages via notification
=====================================
[◀ Go back to main README](../README.md)
🛈 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.
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 and/or telegram.
