v4 - missing radmin?

[James Wood]

Hi Alan,

I think the documentation is out of date in this case:

https://www.freeradius.org/documentation/freeradius-server/4.0.0/reference/man/radmin.html
https://www.freeradius.org/documentation/freeradius-server/4.0.0/howto/optimization/tools/radmin.html

These still mention the debug condition.

radmin>
exit                          Exit from the current context.
help                          Display list of commands and their help text.
quit                          Quit and close the command line immediately.
set                           Change settings in the server.
show                          Show settings in the server.
stats                         Show statistics in the server.
terminate                     Terminate the running server and cause it to
exit.
uptime                        Show uptime since the server started.

I can't see anything here to view realtime debug logs like in v3

Do you have a v4 radmin example to debug on an incoming IP or
Calling-Station-Id attribute please?

Thanks,

James
