Re: radius.log rotate?
Guy,
That would be a really neat feature for us, too.
If you're considering implementing it, I have a feature request: it
would be great if there was also the option to have a complete
logfile containing all realms, in addition to the broken-out files.
This would allow for easier debugging (i.e. if you suspect a user is
mistyping their realm and don't want to have to tail 5 files to
check).
Thanks,
Alex

That translates to:
/path/to/logdir/SomeISP.com/20040213.log
Would make it possible to do, and files would be renamed on the fly.

I found that for now the easiest way for me is to edit newsyslog.conf (FreeBSD 4.6) and add that file in there. Works pretty well so far. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:freeradius- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Guy Fraser Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 11:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: radius.log rotate?

Absolutely.
After spending a while reading the code in CVS, I have determined it
will take
a bit of work to have dynamically named log files. In order to make it work
consistantly with the rest of FreeRadius I am considering a rlm_log feature.
This rlm_log feature would be similar to rlm_detail in naming
convention, but
one significant difference. Some information will not have a radius request
associated with it, so it will have to have a system log, where that
type of
data will be located.
The reason I am considering this feature, is that some people have asked
for it
and I work for an ISP that administrates other smaller ISP's. I have
been asked
in the past to give access to people in affialiated ISP's, but they only
want to
see traffic for their realm. A log file named like :
%L/%{Realm}/%Y%m%d.log

Well, it's Friday night and I'm an hour past going home time, so I'll
get back
to this on Tuesday {Monday is a holiday :-)}.
