LogDownloader problem

I seem to have a nagging problem with logdownloader.
I also see (or can’t find it) that it’s not on the download page anymore. We use MAC filtering with subnetted IP ranges for our wireless network, no usernames or PPP. I’ve written software that reads the logs collected by LogDownloader to record clients daily/monthly traffic and it works fine, except:

logdownloader sometimes just stops working for some routers with just a response of ‘error’. Then I close it & run it again, sometimes a few times and it says ‘ok’ again. Just becoming a problem as we now have many routers and to constantly have to manually restart logdownloader is getting a bit tedious.

Anyone out there that can give me some advice? Our network is running 100% & I ‘never’ have problems to ping, ftp or winbox to any of them, so I do not know where the problem could be.

Thanks in advance
PS: Any other log downloading utility would be fine. I just particulary like logdownloader as I can derive local/internet traffic from there as well as up/downloads.

You could push the logs to a syslog server.

I use a pice of “free” code called syslog to odbc.
This listens on the syslog port and then pushes the entries to a ODBC / SQL database.

You can slice and dice the data from there as you see fit.
