Version 3.3 13.08.2021

Using Splunk to monitor and graph various data from our MikroTik Routers is a nice and free way to help you showing what is going on in your network.
Splunk is free to use for logging up to 500MB pr day.
NB logging large amount of Accouning, DNS or firewall rules quickly eats up license, so I do recommend to turn off Accouning/DNS logging to start with.
It can be used to monitor multiple devices. No ports needs to be opened (like with SNMP monitoring). All data are sent from the device to the Splunk monitor. Devices could be all around the world.
PS:
Traffic monitoring does not work correctly while fast track is enabled (and its removed in v7.x of RouterOS). Turn it off and you may loose throughput, so its something you should think about when using this type of monitoring. How to disable it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LaqhDm6PHI
What's new
A lot have changed since previous version. So much that its better to replace all MikroTik files in the Splunk server instead of trying to update files.
Before data was collected in three ways.
1. Syslog
2. SNMP
3. Scripts (remote)
Problem with SNMP is that you have to add duplicate configuration in Syslog to handle each box you monitor.
Problem with script is that you need to setup a job on the Splunk server that SSH inn to each box to get data.
The script tools did not log host IP, so you did not now from what box data was coming from.
SNMP and Scipts has been removed and change inn to local script on the Router that sends outs needed data to the Splunk using Syslog.
This way all data get correctly marked and you know for what Router you gets data from.

Installation
1) On your PC Works on Windows and Linux, but use Linux (clearly the best choice)
-----------------------------------
1a) Download and install Splunk (Windows or Linux(Ubuntu recommended))
PS you need an account to download. It's free to create.
https://www.splunk.com/en_us/download/s ... prise.html
PS you need to create an account to download the file. Free to download and use (up to 500MB/day)
PS remember to set timezone on Windwows/Linux, or else logging time will be wrong.
1b) PS: To install Splunk as a non root user, recomended. (needs an external syslog reciever)
Splunk setup:
viewtopic.php?p=677233#p677233
rsyslog setup
viewtopic.php?p=677233#p793342
Splunk can fine run as root user, but not recommended.
1c) Change to free license group. Very important to do before 30 day of use. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Web gui:
1d) Settings->licensing->Change license group->Free licnse->Save
1e) Open Windows Firewall for UDP on Windows (On linux its not blocked)
Web gui:
Start->type "adv"->Select:Widows Firewall with Advanced Security->Sect Inbound rules->Right Click "Inbound Rules">New Rule-Port-Next->UDP->Specific local ports->514->Next->Next->Next->Name "syslog"
1f) Allow UDP 514 (syslog) (if running Splunk as non ROOT user or like to use external syslog reciever, see 1b for non-root)
Web gui:
Setting->Datainputs->Add new (behind the UDP)->Port 514->Next->Sourcetype type syslog and select syslog->Next-Submit
1g) Download the Splunk spl file:
MikroTik3.3.rar
1h) Extract the spl file
From Start page in Splunk, click the gear behind Apps or
from top meny click Apps->Manage Apps
Then select Install app from file and select the spl file
1i) A restart of Splunk may be needed.
Web gui:
Settings->Server controls->Restart Splunk
1j) Upgrade form previous version.
Since no files are renamed, just data added, you should be fine by just replacing current files.
You can delete the MikroTik folder if you like. No logged data will be deleted.
If you have custom dashboards, menus, saved search (reports) etc, you need to merge the configuration files.
2) On Your MikroTik Router
-----------------------------
Before you setup logging, you should make an unique identifier of your route. Important if you have more than one router to monitor.
Code: Select all
/system identity set name=Router-London-222a) Syslog
You need to make your Router able to send Syslog messages.
Web gui:
System->Logging->Action->Add New->Name (your server name)->Type:Remote->Remote Address:ip your syslog->Ok
Cli
Code: Select all
/system logging action add name=logserver target=remote remote=192.168.1.50 remote-port=514PS Do NOT select BSD Syslog. It will mess up the logging format.
2b) Then select what modules to log.
I do suggest that you send all DHCP logs including debug and all other logs that are not debug.
It is very important to name the prefix like this "MikroTik" and not "mikrotik" or some other.
Splunk uses the MikroTik prefix to find out what type of syslog data that is coming to it.
Uppercase T and uppercase M, rest are lowercase
Web gui:
Code: Select all
System->Logging->Rules->Add new->Topics:dhcp->Prefix:MikroTik->action:your syslog server->OkSystem->Logging->Rules->Add new->Topics:!debug,!packet,!snmp->Prefix:MikroTik->action:your syslog server->OkCli:
Code: Select all
/system logging add action=logserver prefix=MikroTik topics=dhcp/system logging add action=logserver prefix=MikroTik topics=!debug,!packet,!snmp/system logging add action=logserver prefix=MikroTik topics=hotspotTo not fill up internal logs with firwall logs etc, remove firewall from memory logs
Code: Select all
/system logging set [find topics="info"] topics=info,!firewallPS Hotspot is not needed if you do not use it.
2c) Select what rules to log
NB Do not use more than 20 charters, or else it start to clip other part of the log!!!!!!!!!!!
To log the Firewall and Nat rules, you need to turn on logging and add Log Prefix (under action).
Do not log more than needed. Logging rules like defconf: accept established,related rules will flod your log,
Below is a sample on how to name the log rules. You do not need to follow this rule, but it makes it more uniform.
Code: Select all
Rule name logging==================Format:x_y_zz=name/infoExample-------Filter Rule Forard allow HTTPFF_A_HttpFilter Route Input Drop ICMPFI_D_IcmpNat HTTPND_DE_HttpMangle Mark HTTP packetsMF_MP_HttpFilter Rule------------------x=FF Filter ForwardFI Filter InputFO Filter OutputFX Filter Custom listy=A AcceptAD Add to dst address listAS Add to src address listD DroppF Fast trackJ JumpL LogP PassthroughRJ RejectRT ReturnT TarpitNat Rule------------------x=ND Dest natNS Source naty=A AcceptAD Add to dst address listAS Add to src address listDE Dst-natJ JumpL LogM MasqueradeN NetmapP PassthroughRE RedirectRT ReturnSA sameS Src-natRaw------------------x=RP Filter Raw PreroutingRO Filter Raw Outputy=A AcceptAD Add to dst address listAS Add to src address listF Fast trackD DroppJ JumpL LogN No trackP PassthroughRT ReturnMangle------------------x=MF Mangle ForwardMI Mangle InputMP Mangle PostrouingMR Mangle Preroutingy=A AcceptAD Add to address listAS Add to dst address listCD Change DSCPCM Change MSSCT Change TTLCL Clear DFF Fast trackJ JumpL LogMC Marc connectionMP Mark packetsMR Mark routingP PassthroughRT ReturnRO RouteS Set proiritySP Sniff PCST Sniff TZSPSI Strip IPv4 options2d) You should at least log this rule "defconf: drop all not coming from LAN" with this prefix: FI_D_port-test
Web gui:
IP->Firewall->selec:defconf: drop all not coming from LAN->Log:v->Log Prefix:FI_D_port-test
This will populate the MikroTik Live attack view.
2e) Accounting
To get accounting data, you need to enable it on the MikroTik router. (MikroTik Traffic dashboard)
Web gui:
IP-> Accounting -> Enable Accounting -> mark Threshould:2560 OK
Cli:
Code: Select all
/ip accounting set enabled=yes threshold=25602f) Main Collector Script
To get all the other data like Traffic accounting, uPnP, System health, System resources and DHCP pool information you need this script on the MikroTik. Create this script with name Data_to_Splunk_using_Syslog and cut and past code using gui.
In the top of the script, you can set a module to true/false. If you do not use wifi, set :local Wireless false
Code: Select all
