Are RouterOS log messages stored on disk by default?

RouterOS does not store log messages on disk by default. Instead, it keeps logs in memory; this means that once the device is rebooted or if the memory is cleared, all stored logs will be lost. Users have the option to configure logging to save logs to disk by specifying a logging target, but this is not the standard setting when the system is first set up. Therefore, by default, any log messages generated will only be available in memory until the RouterOS is rebooted or the log buffer is flushed, making it important to set up persistent logging if long-term records of log messages are needed.
