Mikrotik Webproxy / Sawmill Customized Plugin

Hi

We are utilizing Mikrotik hotspot/radius for AD authentication and user MB allocation. We use transparent Webproxy with parent cache server, Mikrotik Webproxy syslog information are sent to Dude and syslog information are processed with Sawmill Mikrotik plugin.


This all works great but Sawmill Mikrotik Plugin has currently some limitations - Statistics supply only IP,URL and Page Hits but not content length (MB usage per URL).
Sawmill has offered to write new customized plugin for Mikrotik Webproxy.


CURRENT:
By default, Webproxy log catches following information,
– web proxy account – (no information about CONTENT LENGTH for particular URL)




By enabling Webproxy DEBUG
— web proxy debug — (lot of information , including CONTENT LENGTH for particular URL/user IP) → great




QUESTION:
Is this the only way to track content length information on Webproxy for particular IP/URL?

My concern is the waste amount of information sent to Dude if I log all webproxy debug information just to get access to URL content length - we have up to 100 simultaneous user connections.


Many thanks!
