Fresh Install mikrocata.py crashing on event

[mk31999]

Hi,

I have been running this perfectly in prod for last few months. Had an issue within my vm ESXI which meant I needed to rebuild from scratch. (Backups were also affected)

Been running for around a week to get my rules back in order, connected today to my Mikrotik and noticed in Mikrotik logs the API user was disconnecting / reconnecting

Traced it back to microcata.py service crashing when it is trying to log firewall rule

Logs during the crash below

I solved my issue. Was a misplaced comma in my configuration

Cheers
