system/logging/actions email does not work

RouterOS General

Hi guys, im a facing issues in sending specific log entries by email. I am using ROS 6.27-6.29.1 on a CRS125

WORKING: firewall filter rule to create a log entry once someone connects to my umurmur server…

/ip firewall filter
add action=log chain=forward comment=“Log murmur client join”
connection-state=new dst-address=192.168.0.14 dst-port=64738 log-prefix=
MURMUR_CLI_JOIN protocol=tcp


NOT WORKING: I want to get an email once the above firewall rule is matched, so i did…

/system logging action
add email-start-tls=yes email-to=testmail@gmail.com. name=mail target=
email
/system logging
add action=mail prefix=MURMUR_CLI_JOIN topics=firewall


Is someone using this email logging action with success? Sending mails from a script works perfectly on the same device…
When i am logging the above rule but with target remote, memory… it works all fine, just that email target is not working

Same issue here for me and I am on 6.31rc11. I haven’t tried using this in the past so I don’t think it is something wrong with the build.

I came around this issue by using a log parser script. There are examples of those scripts around in the internet, they do the job after some minor modifications.

btw. email notification with logging rules after a system,error,critical (login failure for example) works with no issue…
