This may well be the stupidest question ever posted here... and if it is, my apologies.
Is it possible to define a log format?
I've written my own Syslog collector ages ago (small .NET application that runs as a windows service on one of our servers. It puts the log entries into an SQL Database. Was setup for our previous firewall, not a MikroTik. Worked extremely well, but the log format was a bit easier to write a parser for, as there were consistent delimiters with a basic format of [fieldName]=[value]).
Is it possible to do something like this with the MikroTik log somehow?
I think I'm right in saying that however the log is formatted, this will be sent as the MSG part of the Syslog transmission, so I guess it's the MikroTik log part that I need to look at, right?
Getting something like:
Code: Select all
[FieldName]=[Value];[FieldName]=[Value]...
Thanks very much in advance.
