Hello,

I'm using PacketFence with Aruba Network switches. I have enabled RADIUS 
tracking on the switches to determine if the PacketFence servers are active 
responding to requests. Even though this username isn't active and the request 
fails, it still sends the failed message back to the switch so the switch can 
determine if RADIUS is actually working or not.

I configured tracking to test authentication using "RADIUS-Tracking-User" as 
the username. Every 5 min, my switches will try to authenticate using that 
username. This is filling up my audit logs with these failed auth messages.  
Also, it shows lots of failed RADIUS authentications under the dashboard view. 
They are legitimate for obvious reasons, but I would like to see if anyone has 
any suggestion on how to better manage this.

Is there a way to prevent any authentication requests from this username to be 
rejected, but not logged to the audit log?

Thank You
