Log all activity to file

Monkz · Tue Mar 06, 2012 2:19 pm

Hello!
I have mikrotik 4.17 with hotspot server+radius. Maybe someone can help me, and answer how make a log file to log all user activity (maybe firewall-loging)? With it i wanna log an additional data as MAC, source- and destination- IP, protocol and port.

Thanks in advance!

Perhaps Calea module. Check NAND storage on RB first.

go to system logging and add add a topic="whatever logs you want to save" action=disk

/sys logging add topic=hotspot action=disk

/sys logging add topic=hotspot action=disk

Yes, i have this configuration, but it's log only hotspot and radius messages, not all traffic like we can see in IP -> Firewall -> Connections. I need log hotspot users ip (maybe MAC), time and destanation ip and port.

Try This

 /ip accounting set enabled=yes account-local-traffic=yes

/ip accounting web-access set accessible-via-web=yes
