I wanted this script under V3.9 to work,
but unfortunately is not ..

Can someone help?

source="
:local body
:foreach int in=[/log find ] do={
  :set body ("$body\r\n" . [/log get $int])
}
/tool e-mail send to="YOU@DOMAIN.COM" subject=([/system identity get name] . " Log " . [/system clock get date]) body=$body
/system logging action set memory memory-lines=1
/system logging action set memory memory-lines=100"

Modify this line

  :set body ("$body\r\n" . [/log get $int])

to

  :set body ("$body\r\n" . [/log get $int message])

I have a 153 at my house with v3.9. When I ran my original script my CPU went to 100%, then the routerboard would reboot after a couple of seconds. Modifying it with the message option seems to correct that issue.

Thanks for the Help @ Louis

I have the script a little added / modified.
It will now also the time in the body.

#read log
:local logcontent
:foreach int in=[/log find ] do={
:set logcontent ("$logcontent\r\n" .[/log get $int time]. " - " .[/log get $int message])
}
#send email
/tool e-mail send to="log@xxxx.xxx" subject=([/system identity get name] . " Log " . [/system clock get date]) body=$logcontent
#delete old log
/system logging action set memory memory-lines=1
/system logging action set memory memory-lines=65000

hej itsh.net
When I copy your script in terminal, I receive this ???
Ros = 2.9.49

[erik@Trekanten] > #read log
[erik@Trekanten] > :local logcontent
[erik@Trekanten] > :foreach int in=[/log find ] do={
{... :set logcontent ("$logcontent\r\n" .[/log get $int time]. " - " .[/log get $int message])
{... }
no such command or directory (find)
invalid expression

hey Erik

your must add to the Script (i had post the blank script)
and then run the Script

/system script add name="LogDump" policy=ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,sniff 

#read log
:local logcontent
:foreach int in=[/log find ] do={
:set logcontent ("$logcontent\r\n" .[/log get $int time]. " - " .[/log get $int message])
}
#send email
/tool e-mail send to="log@xxxx.xxx" subject=([/system identity get name] . " Log " . [/system clock get date]) body=$logcontent
#delete old log
/system logging action set memory memory-lines=1
/system logging action set memory memory-lines=65000

i used the V3.9 and the script run fine..

Heloo ,
I tried this script ,work very well in v5.14,but sometimes send e-mail log without date .
I planned a simulation and this is what sends :

jan/02/1970 02:00:12 - router rebooted
jan/02/1970 02:00:15 - ether1 link up (speed 100M, full duplex)
jan/02/1970 02:00:29 - ether1 link down
jan/02/1970 02:00:30 - ether1 link up (speed 100M, full duplex)
jan/02/1970 02:00:31 - ether1 link down
jan/02/1970 02:00:35 - ether1 link up (speed 100M, full duplex)
17:11:11 - ether1 link down
17:11:13 - ether1 link up (speed 100M, full duplex)
17:11:37 - ether1 link down
17:11:39 - ether1 link up (speed 100M, full duplex)
17:11:41 - ether1 link down
17:11:43 - ether1 link up (speed 100M, full duplex)

awesome script, I use it on almost all my routers, but after a upgrade on my grooves, the script go's mental and kinda crash my router, leaving me a nice supout.rif file and no email!

Model: Groove A-52HPn
ROS: v6.3
firmware: 3.07

Posted: **Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:09 pm**

please upgrade to newer RouterOS version as scripting has had a lot of changes since 6.3

Posted: **Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:15 pm**

I don't trust the new versions of ros [past experience] ...always tends to be full of bugs

So known "non working" is better than "unknown"?

So known "non working" is better than "unknown"?

I think the logic goes more like "known to be little broken" is better than "maybe more broken".

Posted: **Thu Oct 24, 2013 1:58 pm**

not to keen to kill 20 live AP's 400km away from me, will rather wait it out till someone else makes the mistake and in mean time, I'll order the same unit for demo and testing purpose with the new ros version

Posted: **Thu Oct 24, 2013 3:12 pm**

running this script successfully on by test router using 6.5

anyway, you could update to 6.5 and attempt if this problem still exist (on one router) if you still encounter the problem, just create support output file and send it to us (if there is autsupout.rif file then send that file also).

Please help me.

Why so complicated? Just log into file and sent the file regularly as email attachment.

Posted: **Fri Aug 15, 2014 7:29 pm**

can you tell me how to do that...

with script or with winbox.

Posted: **Sat Aug 16, 2014 7:42 am**

logging:

ros code

/system logging action
set 1 disk-file-count=20 disk-file-name=/usb1/log disk-lines-per-file=2000

regular script for sending:

ros code

/tool e-mail send to="my.email" subject=([/system identity get name] . \
" SystemLog") from=my.device.email file=usb1/log.0.txt

Have you read your error message posted here?? it says that script with such name already exists...

Posted: **Fri Jan 09, 2015 10:28 pm**

ros code

/system logging action
set 1 disk-file-count=20 disk-file-name=/usb1/log disk-lines-per-file=2000

regular script for sending:

ros code

/tool e-mail send to="my.email" subject=([/system identity get name] . \
" SystemLog") from=my.device.email file=usb1/log.0.txt

I've just found this post, seems nice, but how do you do deal with duplicate or missing stuff?

for example, let's suppose I run your script daily, and there were few entries in the log, I'll see the same log twice. Instead if there were too many entries, maybe I'll just see log.0 but in the meanwhile there was another log.1 I will not see.
But, honestly, I've seen that implementing something like a log rotation and check to send only new logs becomes rapidly too much complicated and errors prone... Maybe I could just send file every two hour, and suppose I'll never log more than 1000 lines/hour

Again, is there a way to send email IMMEDIATELY for certain events, for example admin logins? There's a log target "email", but there are no examples on it...

You never can presume how the log will look like. If the logging is really essential you should run logserver and log from devices directly to it.
I remember that there were some script published here that was able to parse the log records and do actions according the log content. Search a bit.

Posted: **Sun Jan 11, 2015 1:19 pm**

Yes, but if you are using your script above, how do you deal with it? How often do you send your file? thank you

Posted: **Sun Jan 11, 2015 2:15 pm**

I send emails with log file daily. Also exports and backups each two days. Parallely I use logserver in dude online. I am not so much interested in the content of logs just checking if it works correctly because sometimes the logging to disk stops without any other notice. So I mainly check if the incoming file has recent lines.

Hi

we have some hotspots running under RB951UI2HND (v 6.3) and we need to save all sites visited by our users and keep it 3 months (terrorism law)
could you please advise the exact script to run it

Thanks

To Analyse use Libre Office from Apache, free and very easy to use !

This script stopped working with version 6.42.1 - changelog to 6.42.2 does not show any fix. I will give it a try, but anybody else having same issue?
