Hello,
I would like to know how to configure my RB4011 to create up to 100 files.
Currently, only 2 files is generated so logs are rotating between log.o.txt and log.1.txt.
That is annoying because I cannot see log aged to 5 days.
Fee HDD space is 477.4 MB, Total HDD size is 512.0 MB.

Re: log files limited to 2 on my RB4011
Its better to get the logs out of the router. For example, see my MikroTik for Splunk here:

Re: log files limited to 2 on my RB4011
I agree with Jotne. In my case, every night, I have a script that ftp the log files to my file server (along with the config export and backup files).
One of these days I will work on Splunk...

Can you please share your script with us?
Re: log files limited to 2 on my RB4011
This is copied from WinBox because in my opinion it's easier to read than an export. If you want the export version, just ask.
The first part creates the backup, export and version files.
Next is to send some of those files via E-Mail.
Last is to use ftp to transfer the files to my file server. My server is running FileZilla as a ftp server. It is configured not to allow any access from off my local LAN.
What is not shown here is a command file on the server that adds the date to the filenames. That is run via the task scheduler a few minutes after the routers ftp the files to the server. Lastly, there is another command file that runs at the end of every month and zips all the files into a monthly zip file.
This script is run every night at 2231 local time (router 2 does the same at 2232, and router 3 does the same at 2233).
Is this a perfect script, likely no, but it serves my purposes.
Just because I can, here is the windows filename rename command file - runs at 2245 nightly:
And the end of the month windows zip command file - runs at 2250 local time on the last day of each month.
