1. Web page scripts
2. Permissions for directories
3. Syslog deamon
4. Web server with PHP and PHP-Pear
5. MySQL database server
6. MySQL user created for proxylizer database
7. Scripts/daemons forwarding records from syslog to MySQL

Mikrotik router

Web-proxy log export to remote host

TODO

Proxylizer server

All the exemples assume that web page root directory is "/var/www/proxylizer", webserver user is "www-data", Proxylizer server system user is "proxylizer" and .pipe file destination/name is "/home/proxylizer/mysql.pipe".

Web page scripts

TODO

Permissions for directories

Open console. Change ownership of web page root directory for web server user

 chown proxylizer:www-data /var/www/proxylizer -R 

Set write permisions to web page root directory for webserver user

 chmod g+w /var/www/proxylizer 

Set permisions to execute 3 shell script files for webserver user group.

cd /var/www/proxylizer
chmod g+x checkwebproxy.sh mail_send.php webproxylogtomysql.php

Syslog daemon

Install syslog-ng daemon.

apt-get install syslog-ng

WARNING : If you have Ubuntu OS syslog-ng can conflict with ubuntu-minimal package! You can remove this package.

Change syslog-ng config to receive logs from Mikrotik router and put them into mysql.pipe file. Open /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf and add these lines next to "#destinations"

destination d_mysql {
#file("/var/log/proxy.log");
pipe("/home/proxylizer/mysql.pipe"
template("$HOST $YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC $MSG\n") template-escape(yes));
};
log { source(net); destination(d_mysql); };

And this line next to "#sources"

source net { udp(); }

Create pipe file.

mkfifo mysql.pipe

restart syslog

/etc/init.d/syslog-ng restart

Web server with PHP and PHP-Pear

Install webserver (we recomend Apache2), PHP5, PHP5-cli and PHP-Pear : DB, Mail, Mail_Mime and Net_SMTP packages.

apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php-pear php-db php-mail php-mail-mime php-net-smtp

MySQL database server

Install MySQL datanbase server.

 apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client 

MySQL user created for proxylizer database

Default user name for mysql database is root with no password. But we recomend to change it for security reasons.
Connect to mysql server and create new database and user.

mysql -u root
create database proxylizerdb;
grant all privileges on proxylizerdb.* to proxylizer@localhost identified by "password" with grant option;
flush privileges;

Scripts/daemons forwarding records from syslog to MySQL

Start php script, that will read from mysql.pipe file, and insert records in database.

/var/www/proxylizer/webproxylogtomysql.php

Scheduled scripts for report generation
