Which command should you use to view the MikroTik log when investigating a recent reboot?

• A. /system reboot
• B. /log clear
• C. /log print
• D. /system resource print

Answer: (C)

To understand what happened during a recent reboot, you need to examine the system log where RouterOS records boot events and other messages. The command to view those log entries is /log print, which shows timestamped messages including when the system reboot occurred and any preceding events. This makes it the best choice for investigating a reboot because you can identify exactly when it happened and what happened just before or after. Other options don’t serve this purpose: initiating a reboot would restart the device, clearing the log would remove historical data, and showing system resources only reveals current usage, not past events. You can also filter the log or search for reboot messages to zero in on the relevant entries.
