Theft of a notebook. Can I change the color of a MAC address in the log?

Wed Feb 01, 2023 12:45 pm

Hello,
a user's notebook was stolen. We believe the thief is still using it at our campsite.
As you know, all registered MAC and IP addresses appear live in the log.

Can I specify the MAC address of the stolen notebook with my own color?

Then I could find it faster in the log when the thief logs in.

Thanks and regards

You can use Scheduler, that will monitor your wireless registration table, and if MAC is found, send you an email.
Some examples https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... g+examples

Hello normis,
Thanks for your answer!
Writing scripts is not that easy for me...

Wouldn't it be possible for the color of the MAC address to appear red when logging in, for example?

Thanks and regards

Why not use Filter button?

Thanks that would be a good option and help!

Is there any way to change the color of the log text?

No, but if is the only thing logged, there is no problem.

A long path .... send log to 'syslog', with a filter

Where to find syslog? There is one in DUDE. Can be used with filters. DUDE stores result in LOG in memory. Could be stored in separate file etc.
DUDE collects all logs from all AP's for me in one place.

.
dudelog action could be type email in your case.
