LOG ONLY CONSOLE LOGIN

Hi,

I configured an EMAIL NOTIFICATION on the ACCOUNT logging in order to keep track on technicians entering the Mikrotik console. It’s working OK. The problem is I’m also getting PPPT logins (every access to the VPN). Is there a way I only get accesses to the Mikrotik box?

Change the topic that logs to the email action to “system,account”.

Great! is working. How does the logging configuration work exactly? is there any guide of the posibble combinations?

By the way, what’s the prefix option for?

Regards
Hernán.

Each message has attached to it several topics. For example, console logins are attached to “system,debug,account” as you can see when you look at the logs. Hotspot logins are attached to “hotspot,debug,account”. So if you subscribe an action to just “account” you get both. If you subscribe it to “system,account” only messages that have both set match. Hotspots don’t, so they wouldn’t match for that action.
