Hello,
We currently have a “trial” based free hotspot out in the field. We would like to get reporting on each client (MAC) that connects. Is there a way to do this without implementing a RADIUS server?
Thanks
Configure a remote syslog target and subscribe it to the relevant channels. On that external syslog server parse the logs into whatever presentation format you want.
I don’t use a trial based hotspot, but do collect information for all RADIUS and local user logins into a MySQL database entirely via syslog, it’s working very well.
Well we do have the hotspot log being sent to a remote syslog server. I was hoping there was something that would help parse the data…would the usermanager package help me in anyway?
I don’t think it would, no. User Manager basically is a RADIUS server. I’m not aware of any pre-built tools that would help you parse things. If you post some more details (what kind of report are you looking for? Delivered how? Containing what details?) maybe you’ll get some suggestions.
Number of users per day for a 30 day time period (monthly basis)…Number of users per hour for a 24 hour time period (hourly basis)
bump…anyone?
