PTA NAT logs

Status of the NAT log receiver (routers send NAT lines over UDP 5514 and the worker keeps them in hourly files) and how long they are kept, for Pakistani regulator (PTA) requests. The related PTA lookup page under Logs and reports (permission: login log, session log, and who had an IP address at a time) is a search tool, not a settings page.
