AUDITD System Log Messages

This chapter describes messages with the AUDITD prefix. They are generated by the audit process (auditd), which notifies the RADIUS accounting server of user activity on the routing platform, such as login, logout, and execution of command-line interface (CLI) commands.

AUDITD_RADIUS_AV_ERROR

Type

Error: An error occurred

Severity

error

AUDITD_RADIUS_OPEN_FAILED

Severity

error

AUDITD_RADIUS_REQ_DROPPED

System Log Message

Discarded Accounting-Request message; no RADIUS server responded

Description

The audit process (auditd) gathers information about system accounting events from other system processes and sends the information to RADIUS servers in an Accounting-Request message. The process repeatedly sent a message to all configured RADIUS servers without receiving a response, so it discarded the message.

Type

Error: An error occurred

Severity

error

Cause

The RADIUS accounting servers are not correctly configured or are unreachable, or the server applications are not responding.

AUDITD_RADIUS_REQ_TIMED_OUT

System Log Message

Retransmitted request to RADIUS server radius-server

After failing to receive a response from the indicated server, auditd waited for a timeout period and resent the message.

Type

Error: An error occurred

Severity

error

Cause

The RADIUS server is not responding. Possible reasons include (a) the server machine is down, too busy, or unreachable (b) the server application is down or too busy (c) the shared RADIUS secret sent by auditd does not match the secret on the server.
