Syslog server notification using 'Execute on server'

RouterOS The Dude
1

Hello all,

We are using The Dude to monitor all our clients hardware and software. An important feature we use is syslog server. With rules we filter out the important stuff that we want for alerting. The only problem is that we have to send out emails using Gmail, because we are using a hosted virtual server without SMTP relaying services. I have a script containting blat statements and a tunnel server, info can be found at this forum. This is working for normal probes when they go down and up. But Syslog notifications are not send out. Is there a restriction on this? Are the only options the standard loggings + normal email, or is it possible to use syslog messages in an ‘execute on server’ notification?

Regards,
Roland

Syslog Notification execute on Server

When I make the ‘execute on server’ notification member of a notification group, than Syslog messages does trigger the script, but no syslog message is passed to the script. So one step fixed. So how to pass the syslog message to the script? Is there a hidden variable for that? :open_mouth:

After own investigation I must conclude that the current version (3.6) does not support this. I installed a local smtp relay server to bypass the problems.
