How can mikrotik send log to rsyslog? How do I configure rsyslog.conf?

2

For rsyslog:

# provides UDP syslog reception
module(load="imudp")
input(type="imudp" port="514")

(probably these lines already exist in /etc/rsyslog.conf but are commented out)

An important detail is missing there. If you want the rsyslog server use the syslog facility to filter messages (for example to write MikroTik messages to a specific log file), you must set the remote log format to syslog.

/system logging action
set [find name="remote"] remote-log-format=syslog

The default log format does not include the syslog facility (RouterOS 7.18.2).

There are different options. It depends on how you want to configure rsyslog.
