How to implement vpn connection log on mikrotik?

Question

VPN

By default, the memory log contains brief information about who and what time connected / disconnected. But when a bunch of other events pour in this log, information on vpn connections goes away. Therefore, it must be written in a separate log.
But if you write from a topic, for example, pptp, then there is a large amount of debugging information that is not needed and in the logs it appears as "pptp debug packet". And you only need "pptp ppp info".
How to implement?

Answer 1

Create a new log for yourself in System/logging with Topics=pptp,ppp,info,account

Answer 2

syslog on the side and filter. =) not?
MikroTik Syslog Daemon

Answer 3

In the corresponding PPP profile, you can add scripts to connect / disconnect users:
UP

:local pppuser
:local localAddr
:local remoteAddr
:local callerId
:local calledId
:local interfaceName
 
:set pppuser $"user"
:set localAddr $"local-address"
:set remoteAddr $"remote-address"
:set callerId $"caller-id"
:set calledId $"called-id"
:set interfaceName [/interface get $interface name] 

:log info message="$interfaceName $callerId @ $remoteAddr connected"

DOWN

:local pppuser
:local localAddr
:local remoteAddr
:local callerId
:local calledId
:local interfaceName
 
:set pppuser $"user"
:set localAddr $"local-address"
:set remoteAddr $"remote-address"
:set callerId $"caller-id"
:set calledId $"called-id"
:set interfaceName [/interface get $interface name] 

:log info message="$callerId @ $remoteAddr disconnected"

Well, of course, create a log with Topics=script,info in System/logging, and write it to a separate file, for example.
The content of the message in the log can be customized
