Mikrotik Network Logs + Elastic Stack (Elastic, Kibana, and Filebeat) 

great and educative video, you saved me a ton of research. God bless you

Thank you. Very useful!

Many thanks for the excellent video. Great work, keep it up! Sub earnt

thank you very much, for your tutorial! I have succeeded from X try: current version of kibana/elasticsearch did not work for me. had to install specific versions ( apt install kibana=7.15.2, etc ) thing that bothers me in the these trafficflow logs/reports is that local network addresses are not translated and in the end I have statistics of conversations between my router and final host (say google/youtube) instead of conversations between media server and google/youtube. but maybe my mikrotik is misconfigured somehow, need to dig more.

Hello Everyone, After upgrading to Router OS version 7 I noticed that the Netflow export was not working and some people on the forums have also experienced the same issue. The setting default is to leave the "source ip" field blank in Traffic Flow Target so it would send logs for all hosts on the network unfiltered. That source ip field is there in case you only wanted to send logs filtered for one IP host on your network. Since the field can't be left blank for the time being, I have found a workaround which is to put the WAN IP address typically assigned to the interface ethr1 in source ip. This config has got netflow export to work again, but the disadvantage is that it only shows traffic travelling through the WAN and no internal traffic.

Thank you. May I ask you how you run the docker image. Do you have to set any volume to preserve the data or to indicate any port? Can you indicate the line to run the ubuntu docker image?

"Module status" to check Filebeat module In Kibana. says "No data has been received from this module yet" Any ideas why filebeat not showing any logs in Kibana?

Cannot setup filebeat. Please help

Is filebeat mandatory? I've been trying to make it work without installing it, but kibana doesnt show any data....

excelent video!, does it work for cisco routers?, thanks!
