Logging part of traffic

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hi guys

The EU dictates logging of free wifi data tranfers. Could be in hotels, cafe’s and such.

We do have excellent descriptions how log voucher and user names into logs. But the collected data sums up fast, even if only dst ip, src ip, ports, time and user is logged.

The law suggests only one in 500 packets in every session must be logged. Could be to a attached HardDrive to USB port.

I simply can’t figure out a script to collect one in 500 packets,- I’m not good enough in scripting,- besides not cooking the CPU.

I’ve been twisting my brain on this issue :slight_smile:

Any suggestions guys and girls? A simple solution is to log everything, send it to a Linux server and use huge disks. But I would like a smarter solution.

Have look at this page about NTH: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:NTH_in_RouterOS

Maybe this will help you.

Let me know here if it worked for you. I am not using it myself but I read about this option in the wiki.

Hi msatter

I will certainly tell about it, when I know.
I’m in the middle of a large development work, and I’m coming to this part soon. I have to dig through a lot of challenges first :slight_smile:

Thanks again
