## Send data to Hunters

Hunters supports the ingestion of Mikrotik logs via an intermediary AWS S3 bucket.

**To connect Mikrotik logs:**

1. Export the logs from the Mikrotik device by following [this guide](https://wiki.mikrotik.com/Manual:System/Log#Logging_to_file).
2. Then, ship the logs from your on-premise environment to an S3 bucket.
3. Once the export is completed and the logs are collected to S3, follow the steps in [this section](/v1/docs/connect-data-through-aws-s3).

## Expected format

Logs are expected in Syslog format.
