[@roathkanel]

Thank for your useful video. It is really helpful. I have some question regarding to this video:
1. How can I generate all traffic in router and output into the log?
2. With the log that I have on usb, how can I create report of internet usage or any other purpose as require?
Thank for your answer in advance!
Kanel

[@TKSJa]

You will have to create mangle or firewall rules and enable the log option on them.

[@supernoob5217]

[@jimsonjamesbringas]

what model you are using?

[@asalalasaf]

did you know how to log many to many src nat in mikrotik ? i mean which private ip and which ip use for natting, i dont care about the dst ip

[@binarium]

Actually it was about "How to Save Logs to Disk _OR_ USB". Not _AND_.

[@16again7]

Why use script line to add the disk1/log logging action? In Winbox, copy the existing "disk" entry, and alter destination path

[@TKSJa]

That's another option, thanks.

[@GLUR95]

Can u make FTP server guide kind of cloud with DDNS ?

[@TKSJa]

All you need to do is to port forward to the FTP server after setting up your mikrotik cloud. These videos should help ruclips.net/video/y47y73zCrEU/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/QWLY5vdKV4c/видео.html

[@dexlaine]

Do you have a tutorial about creating a popup warning reminder every time I activate him in an address list

[@TKSJa]

I don't think this is even possible.

[@bhartendulal8645]

Is it possible to add multiple ip in syslog server??

[@TKSJa]

Yes click the plus and add it the logging -->action

[@nikolashuminosky6987]

[@GLUR95]
