Configuring a Syslog server to send FreeRADIUS events

The rsyslog service is used to transmit events from the FreeRADIUS server to the KUMA collector.

To configure the sending of events from the server where FreeRADIUS is installed to the collector:

1. In the /etc/rsyslog.d/ directory, create the FreeRADIUS-to-siem.conf file and add the following line to it:

   If $programname contains 'radiusd' then @<IP address of the collector>:<port of the collector>

   If you want to send events via TCP, the contents of the file must be as follows:

   If $programname contains 'radiusd' then @<IP address of the collector>:<port of the collector>

2. Create a backup copy of the /etc/rsyslog.conf file.
3. Add the following lines to the /etc/rsyslog.conf configuration file:

   $IncludeConfig /etc/FreeRADIUS-to-siem.conf

   $RepeatedMsgReduction off

4. Save your changes.
5. Restart the rsyslog service:

   sudo systemctl restart rsyslog.service

The export of events from the FreeRADIUS server to the KUMA collector is configured.
