Log to e-mail
I have two scripts one to make log file every day and second to e-mail to me . That is another way to solve the problem...
Re: Log to e-mail
Can you post your scripts here?I have two scripts one to make log file every day and second to e-mail to me . That is another way to solve the problem...
The scripts
Make log file: /log print file=log
Send it to mail: /tool e-mail send file=log.txt to=xxx@xxx.xx body=logfile subject=mikrotiklog
Than reboot: /system reboot
You must set up the system scheduler to activate these scripts at a regular time.

I have to take back my statement from above - I just stumbled upon a way to indeed clear the log!
You can set the memory-lines (or disk-lines) parameter to "1" (0 isn't valid) and then back to the value you want to have (like the default "100") - this will clear the log just leaving the first line - which will then always read "log action changed by admin"...
So:
to clear the memory syslog content.
You could combine this with the e-mail script Nexon posted. But no more need to reboot the machine to get rid of the memory log file...

So:
Code: Select all
/system logging action set [/system logging action find name="memory"] memory-lines=1
/system logging action set [/system logging action find name="memory"] memory-lines=100You could combine this with the e-mail script Nexon posted. But no more need to reboot the machine to get rid of the memory log file...
