Executive Overview:

Complete technical manual on routing high-volume NAT IPDR logs from MikroTik to high-capacity Syslog servers in compliance with BTRC regulatory audits.

Why IPDR Logging is Non-Negotiable

Because broadband subscribers share CGNAT public IPs, regulatory authorities require ISPs to maintain timestamped logs of source IP, source port, destination IP, and destination port for tracking cyber incidents.

Remote Syslog Forwarding Architecture

Configure RouterOS /system/logging to export NAT connection start/stop notifications over UDP/TCP to external log aggregators, preventing local router flash storage exhaustion.
