Filter LOG messagens with API

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hello, i´m trying to do this:

[admin@Orbit] /log> print where message~“failed”
14:35:04 pppoe,ppp,info : terminating… - user ajcorrea authentication failed
14:35:35 pppoe,ppp,info : terminating… - user ajcorrea authentication failed
14:36:06 pppoe,ppp,info : terminating… - user ajcorrea authentication failed
14:36:37 pppoe,ppp,info : terminating… - user ajcorrea authentication failed

with API:

<?php

require('/ondasys/phplibs/mikrotikapi.class.php');
$API = new routeros_api();

$API->debug = true;

if ($API->connect('xxxx', 'xxx', 'xxx')) {

   $ARRAY = $API->comm('/log/print',array("~message"=>"authentication failed"));
   print_r($ARRAY);
   $API->disconnect();

}
?>

but api returns ALL log entries …

… filtering logs are possible with API ?!

thanks !!!

Regex are not officially supported with API. The current implementation in Denis’ class is a hack, and by virtue of being a hack, it only works for some lists in some RouterOS versions.

See this topic for details.
