Summary

FreeRADIUS 3.x module to send accounting messages to Kafka Queue.

Dependency

This module is dependent on librdkafka (tested with version 1.7.0). So, librdkafka needs to be installed in the system prior to compiling and using this module.

Compilation and Installation

The following steps assumes that you have FreeRADIUS source code in path /usr/local/src/freeradius-server-3.0.23/.

• Prepare some env vars to reference later

export FRADIUS_SRC="/usr/local/src/freeradius-server-3.0.23/"

• Clone the repo to FreeRADIUS source path inside src/modules/.

cd $FRADIUS_SRC/src/modules/ && git clone https://github.com/thebinary/rlm_kafka.git

• Move back to the root of FreeRADIUS source code path

cd $FRADIUS_SRC && ./configure --with-modules=rlm_kafka

• Compile and Install

1. Case-1: If you are installing all FreeRADIUS from the same source directory

make && make install

2. Case-2: If you are just installing the module to already installed FreeRADIUS instance. If the rlm modules are located in /usr/lib/freeradius

export RLM_MODULES_DIR=/usr/lib/freeradius
make && cp build/lib/.libs/rlm_kafka.so $RLM_MODULES_DIR/
