Charles, We’re running two load-balanced FreeRADIUS instances on RHEL servers. Our Identity and Access Management Team runs those machines. Short story long, last fall our auth rates were getting high enough that the IAM team had to convert the log rotation to MySQL because the log files were filling up faster than the servers could rotate them.
One of the IAM Specialists wrote Python code to generate a CSV file of total auths per minute in one minute intervals by month. I’m lucky to be the end recipient of the pre-munged data, but if you’re interested I could reach out to that department and see if they are willing to share their process. Sincerely, J.
