Hello, I'm trying to process freeradius logs into logstash / elasticsearch. I'm finding that the log format of my freeradius server seems different from the standard freeradius log examples I'm seeing in search results The freeradius log lines are multiline with indentation *but* each line of a multiline event begins with a (nnnnnn) index number prior to the indentation for example: (65216309) Received Accounting-Request Id 151 from 10.5.0.102:17420 to 10.5.0.172:2813 length 469 (65216309) Acct-Status-Type = Interim-Update (65216309) User-Name = "60:21:01:9f:9c:54" (65216309) Framed-IP-Address = 10.80.137.221 (65216309) Calling-Station-Id = "60:21:01:9f:9c:54" I can't seem to find explanation of this format in freeradius docs or what this leading number represents, and I can't seem to find where it is configured. Can anyone help me understand where these (nnnnn) index numbers come from in the logs? Ultimately my goal is correctly reassembling these lines in ELK using multiline processing. My freeradius server OS is CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 My freeradius version is freeradius-3.0.15-5.el7.centos.x86_64 Thanks much!
