I have been using L2TP VPN protocol and I have noticed that when a user closes the connection I am getting a log record like this: "myVPNuser logged out, 14400 262941154 2621688857 1168198 2971793 from ipAddress"
What do these numbers 14400 262941154 2621688857 1168198 2971793 represent? I asked chatGPT and it responded that
Is the response correct?In Mikrotik logs, the numbers in the record provide specific details about the session metrics and activities. Here's a breakdown of the numbers in the log entry:
- 14400: This likely represents the duration of the session in seconds. In this case, it translates to 4 hours (14400 seconds / 3600 seconds per hour).
- 262941154: This could represent the number of bytes sent by the user during the session. Mikrotik typically logs data usage in bytes.
- 2621688857: This might represent the number of bytes received by the user during the session. Like the previous number, it's also likely in bytes.
- 1168198: This number could represent the number of packets sent by the user during the session.
In summary, the log entry appears to provide the following information:
- 2971793: This number could represent the number of packets received by the user during the session.
- User: myVPNuser
- Action: logged out
- Session duration: 14400 seconds (4 hours)
- Bytes sent: 262941154 bytes
- Bytes received: 2621688857 bytes
- Packets sent: 1168198 packets
- Packets received: 2971793 packets
These metrics are helpful for network administrators to monitor user activity and network usage.
