If you're acting as a Federation then we need your logs sent to us. If you're an Individual organisation then it's not necessary as we see all the traffic on our NRPS.

Configuring F-TICKS for FreeRADIUS is as simple as adding an extra module file and restarting FR. This is an F-TICKS code fragment which should work and be of the right format.

The F-TICKS logs will be sent to syslog and processed according to your syslog configuration.

To send the F-TICKS to Jisc your syslog configuration will need to be able to identify the right messages and know where to send them.

Destination: utilities.govroam.uk, port 514/TCP.

An easy way to identify the messages would be to look for 'F-TICKS' in the message.

Example for syslog-ng

destination d_jisc { 
  syslog("utilities.govroam.uk" transport("tcp") port("514")); 
};

filter f_fticks {
        facility(local0) and match ("F-TICKS", value ("MESSAGE"));
};

log {
        source(s_src);
        filter(f_fticks);
        destination(d_jisc);
};

Example for rsyslog

   local0.*
