Tue Aug 09, 2022 10:31 pm

Looking for a free syslog server. Just a simple but working one. I have tested Kiwi from SolarWinds dont like it.
Must run at windows.

You can install Splunk for windows. Free for up to 500MB logs pr day. (only need to register to download).
But I do recommend using Linux. See my signature for how to setup Splunk/rsyslog for linux and get a lot of log Information.

You have it already with DUDE.

I have DUDE on hEX (has SD card+USB storage). One of the functions of DUDE is Syslog server. Storage for Syslog is used via the log via syslog notification. Topics DUDE in logging has action dudelog, which is (type=disk) logging function of ROS.

I know, quite some steps to get it there in the right place/folder and allow for volume.
Syslog rules can be set in DUDE client or via WinBox.

This is an easy way to push logs to systemd's journal:

(Well, this is Linux only... But perhaps anybody else stumbles on this and finds it useful.)

Another interesting option is to use rsyslog with https://github.com/rsyslog/loganalyzer. Rsyslog allows to easily tweak its default templates to properly parse Mikrotik logs and to store them in any format. That way you can receive similar o/p in Adiscon LogAnalyzer or equivalent file:
