Indeed, follow-strict does not add any thing different than print already do. It might be interesting to replace it with a option to limited the number of lines shown, beginning from last.
follow-last=10 → shows the last ten lines (.id) from the otherwise printed text.
See here for an example for /log : http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/log-get-issue-bug/168947/1
edit: then time could be also a way to select for items that also store times
follow-last=10s → shows the last lines that where written in the last 10 seconds
When using the option interval you can monitor but you don’t can’t select how many. Time is possible if you set the refresh time. And then filter out lines already seen. Easier is then to use follow-only and loop that every n-time.
