Hello. I'm a newbie in Mikrotik, so I'm trying to resolve some questions.
So, I need to have an ability to make some traffic used and sites visited graphs of my users for example once in a month. As I understood, I need to use Web Proxy function (or, may be, there is another way to do it - please, tell me that). And the moment that I didn't find is how and where can I see an access log my Web Proxy making. Is there a possibility of analyzing log's in Mikrotik or should I transfer log files to another machine, windows I suppose, and analyze logs there? Please, can you tell some ways (and software) for doing this? Thanks a lot.
Re: Need to view proxy logs
You can use Proxilizer

Re: Need to view proxy logs
Yes, but Proxylizer is working under Linux only, and I need a Windows based analyzer. The VmWare image doesn't work too - it's recieving information using syslog, but it doesn't makes reports, and as I saw in a propriate topic - not only me have such a problem. So is there any other way to recieve information from proxy log using Mikrotik or any other soft? I can't believe that in such powerful system there is no availability to get proxy log statistic...

Re: Need to view proxy logs
Find some Windows analyzer that can read from syslog. There's Windows syslog clients, and the RouteOS web proxy (as per the Wiki posted above) can send log entries via syslog.

Yes, I found Kiwi syslog..Find some Windows analyzer that can read from syslog. There's Windows syslog clients, and the RouteOS web proxy (as per the Wiki posted above) can send log entries via syslog.
Here it's told, that I can configure Mikrotik to send logs, for example, to Kiwi syslog. So I get the file with such information in it:
