+# openwrt_logger.py
+
+This script is supposed to be run by cron every 5 minutes or so.
+It looks for new lines in log file and sends them to remote server.
+
+OpenWRT must have remote logging enabled (UDP; IP of host this script is launched on; port 514)
+
+`/etc/rsyslog.conf` contains following (assuming `192.168.1.1` is the router IP):
+
+```
+$ModLoad imudp
+$UDPServerRun 514
+:fromhost-ip, isequal, "192.168.1.1" /var/log/openwrt.log
+& ~
+```
+
+Also comment out the following line:
+```
+$ActionFileDefaultTemplate RSYSLOG_TraditionalFileFormat
+```
+
+Cron line example:
+```
+* * * * * /home/user/homekit/src/openwrt_logger.py --access-point 1 --file /var/wrtlogfs/openwrt-5.log >/dev/null
+```
+
+`/var/wrtlogfs` is recommended to be tmpfs, to avoid writes on mmc card, in case
+you use arm sbcs as I do. \ No newline at end of file
