MikroTik Webproxy Logs Create graphical logs in Mikrotik on Remote Server

MikroTik logs various system events and status information. These Logs are saved in routers memory (RAM), disk, file, sent by email or even sent to remote syslog server. All those logs are saved in Router’s local memory can be viewed from Log menu and any log entry contains time and date when event occurred. But these local log info is not enough for analyzing and reports of user’s activity. For make use of report and analysis on logs, we will need to configure a remote syslog server WebProxy Log Analyzer there by giving us the leverage to carryout different analysis of desired information.

WebProxy-Log is a syslog server based on Windows. Webproxy-log requires configuration at two parts.

1. MikroTik part - Config for remote Syslog Server.
2. Syslog Server Part - Webproxy-Log config on Windows Machine (XP, 7, 8 or 10).

I assume that you know the basic configuration of MikroTik Router. So lets get to work :)
