How to better logging ? Feature Request?

Hello,

I wish I could debug stuff on the Mikrotik, but I dont know how and wonder if someone have a better idea.

Right now, when I want to debug a rules, I’m adding a log rules with same configuration just over the rules I want to log and then, I do some “test” and “/log print” everytime. Not very efficient.

In Linux, I could do “tail -f log | grep | grep -v ”, so, for Example, I’m trying to pindown trafic to a host, I could “tail -f log | grep ” and then, when I see there’s stuff that are okay and I want to exclude them, I could add IP like this “tail -f log | grep | grep -v <excluded ip 1> | grep -v <excluded ip 2>” until I see exactly what I need.

In Mikrotik, is there a way to do this?

If you are trying to log from the firewall, try creating new chains for the various segments in your rules. Then all you have to do is add a logging rule for that chain.
