Observing via logging

Hi there,

I have many several Mikrotik routers and I'm curious how others manage or monitor them.

My current plan is to run https://vector.dev/ and set each of my mikrotiks to log to it.

[hendry@red] > /system/logging/print
Flags: * - DEFAULT
Columns: TOPICS, ACTION
#   TOPICS    ACTION
0 * info      remote
1 * error     remote
2 * warning   remote
3 * critical  echo
[hendry@red] > /system/logging/action/print
Flags: * - default
 0 * name="memory" target=memory memory-lines=1000 memory-stop-on-full=no

 1 * name="disk" target=disk disk-file-name="log" disk-lines-per-file=1000 disk-file-count=2 disk-stop-on-full=no

 2 * name="echo" target=echo remember=yes

 3 * name="remote" target=remote remote=X.X.X.X remote-port=9000 src-address=0.0.0.0 bsd-syslog=yes syslog-time-format=bsd-syslog syslog-facility=daemon syslog-severity=auto

I'm not quite sure how to roll this configuration out to my mikrotiks and I'd be very curious how others do it. Perhaps it's only worth monitoring the one capsmanager?

Many thanks,
