I currently have freeradius 2.1.12 on a cent6 system. It is only being used to collect accounting data for a VPN. The RADIUS auth is happening somewhere else. The detail logs are currently being stored in /var/log/radius/radacct/<client IP>/detail-<daily-file>. However, while radius itself is logging to syslog, this detail file is not using syslog. My ultimate goal is to be able to forward all of these detail accounting logs to a central syslog server for analysis.
I would suggest another solution. Syslog is meant for line-oriented log messages. The detail file is definitely *not* that.
My current solution is I have a daemon that watches all of the files, slurps it up and re-emits it as syslog data to an rsyslog server.
I am hoping there is a way to configure freeradius to do this so I can dismantle my hack.
If you need to move files from one machine to another, use "scp". Syslog is absolutely the wrong approach. Alan DeKok.
