Cisco AAA/Identity/Nac :: ACS 5.x Not Collecting ACE Accounting Log
Aug 23, 2011
ACE is configured to point accounting to ACS servers but ACS servers are not seeing all the accounting logs. I can only see accounting logs from ACE for watchdog, start and stop.
Cisco ACS 5.2 secondary server is configured as a log collector for both primary and secondary server .Now i am facing problem in log collection from primary server .ACS secondary server is not collecting any logs from primary .
I've got an issue with my ACS 5.1 implementation not updating any of the RADIUS or TACACS authz, authc, or acct records. Nothing is showing up, even though i've logged in via TACACS to several devices, and there are numerous wireless devices authenticated and online via RADIUS right now.
How to configure ACS 5.1 local administrator accounting and where have to check the accounting log . suppose administrator logged in to ACS and created some user or delete users where will see the log , which user have they created or deleted.
Following best practices on cisco documentations we did set aaa acounting update periodic 5 with 250 switches in the deployment every single switch is geneating and sending 9.990 acct records this is too much the new testing parameterswe are using is aaa acounting update newinfo periodic 15 and this lowered accts by 2/3 (3500) moreover from switch monitoring the most accts records sent by it are related to the trunk-port any suggestion to mitigate this informations storm rather than raising the 15 min period to higher values?are this records generating from the trunk port normal?
I am setting up reports for tacacs accounting on ACS 5.3. However, accounting only seems to work after entering enable mode on the switch. I would like to see all commands, even the enable command when in privlage 1 mode.
i changed from ACS 4 to ACS 5.2. Everything works fine but i have authentication failed in the Radius accouting reports every time when users connect through ASA or Juniper into our network. Juniper amd ASA only send accounting informations to ACS. The users are not configured on the ACS, authentication is done via external LDAP. So my question is why do o see authentication error on ACS because Juniper and ASA only send accounting packets ?
I've set up my 5540 ASA to accounting commands on TACACS+.Every moviment done through ASDM is logged on TACACS+ by this form: cmd=perfmon interval 10.What does that mean?Why doesn't it record the exaclty command I'd issued?
on the dashboard of the "Monitoring & Report Viewer" I see a lot of system alarms related to the database.The explanation of the alarm says to look at the Collector logs for the details.
Whether ISE-3315-K9 with ise version: Service Engine: 1.0.4.573 , supports the command level accounting Bascially , we have integrated Cisco Switches with Cisco ISE for Device Authentication using Radius , we are able get the authentication logs on to the devices , but for any command changes or update done on Cisco devices we are not able to get the command accounting.
We have Cisco ACS 4.2 in our network and the accounting is done for 750-1000 devices and only for level priv-15.If i want to enable accounting for all levels from priv-1 to 15. All commands executed in devices are sent to ACS. Does the ACS can that much sessions from those many devices?Am also planning to configure acs remote agent to store all the accounting history.
I have a problem trying to export logs to the Cisco ACS View from my ACS 4.2In the document [URL] Cisco states that one of the mandatory attributes for export to work is "Network Access Profile Name" under TACACS+ Accounting (under ACS 4.2 System configuration -> Logging settings). Well, I don't have this mandatory attribute listed in ACS under TACACS+ accounting log configuration. I tried to ignore this attribute, but then ACS View complains about null value for the attribute mentioned above.Is this some bug in ACS View or ACS or maybe I simply missing something?
I'm using Cisco Prime 4.2 and VLAN fetch for all devices is currently going over TFTP. Devices managed by LMS are 2960, 4500, 6500 series. All devices are using SSH v2. ACS server is configured on all devices and SSH credentials are OK.
This is the error message I get when i select SCP: "SCP user credentials not available. Configure the SCP user credentials and try again Action: Check if protocol is supported by device and required device package is installed."
Is it possible to use SCP as VLAN fetch protocol? How to configure this on a devices and how to enter SCP credentials in LMS?
I am using Cisco Works LMS 4.0 for collecting configurations of the devices. After changing the configuration of the device what is the minimum time that LMS detects the configuration was changed and save (make archive) the new configuration in the LMS database ? (Periodic Collection and Polling are disabled). Which mechanism drive this process, SNMP Trap?
We are using Cisco Works LMS 4.0.1. Acquisition info reports last acquisition end time 19 July and Campus data collection running. Number of host entries is 68 but we have two thousands PCs. When we try to perform an acquisition action with scope all hosts and users, we receive this message;
Failed to start acquisition: Construction of XML data required for UT is in progress.Please try after some time.
If I choose to authenticate NCS users through Cisco ACS (5.4 in this instance) via TACACS, do I still have the ability to do accounting to track what changes they have made? I'm not getting anything in the TACACS accounting reports and I don't see anywhere to configure TACACS for accounting within NCS gui like I can on a WLC. I know that NCS has an internal audit trail but if a users account is both a local account on NCS as well as an account being authenticated through ACS does the Audit trail on NCS for that local user still contain the information about changes the user made? I ask because it looks like it does but I want to make sure I'm not going mad. Here is my example:
Local account username: NCS_Admin2AD account via TACACS username: NCS_Admin2
Audit trail for the NCS_Admin2 account on NCS looks like changes are being logged to NCS even though the user is logging in with their AD credentials via TACACS.
it seems there is no option for flexconnect registered AP's to work with external accounting server.I am using zeroshell server to authenticate with the radius server,which works perfectly!but there is no option under flexconnect security group to specify accounting server.is there a way to redierct AP to a local acoouting+authentication radius ?
I am working on cisco ACS 5.0, authentication is working fine on netscreen. Can acs be used for authorization and accounting of netscreen devices. if yes, what will be the configurations.
I have installed DCNM 5.2(2c) on windows box to manage Nexus 7K devices.\ have for the time being one device that i have manage and i see often the following text:Discrepancy in device accounting log,Recommended action: clear the accounting log and discover the device. Device details are not available.How can i delete the accounting log and why do i have this message ?
I have a WLAN configured with 802.1x PEAP pointing to an external RADIUS server. It works fine for the most part, but I'm having problem closing accounting sessions in RADIUS. I've found this is related to the client table in the WLC. The user session does not end in RADIUS unless the WLC officially removes the client from the db, which takes 5-6 minutes from what I can see (probably due to the default idle timeout of 300 seconds).
For example:
1. I connect my tablet to the test WLAN. It associates and authenticates successfully and the WLC sends the accounting info to my RADIUS server, opening up a user session. If I turn off the wifi in the tablet, the client entry stays in the WLC client table until it times out. The WLC removes my tablet from the client table after 5-6 minutes, and then the session closes in the accounting table. I can force the session to close much earlier by manually removing the client from the WLC.
2. Same as #1, but this time instead of turning of the wifi in the tablet, I choose to connect to a different WLAN in the WLC. The user session in the accounting DB never closes. If I reconnect back to the original test WLAN with 802.1x, it opens up yet another user session in RADIUS accounting. Now I have a "dead" user session in accounting that is going to be open forever unless I delete it from SQL.
Is this an issue with the end user client not sending the disassociation frame properly, or a config problem with the WLC? How can I make it so that every time a client drops from an AP or moves to a different WLAN, the WLC would immediately send accounting updates to my RADIUS server and close the user session properly?
Struggling to find any documentation that states both "ip accounting & netflow" are supported on the new ME3600 switches. I have tried both a 12 and 15 release of software. Netflow produces no data what so ever, ip accounting only produces data (of the global network) when configured on my uplink (running MP-BGP network) unable to get specific data for user networks in seperate VRFs. Is this a case of the commands being there but not being supported?
I have a Cisco 2621XM router with two ethernet interfaces that sits before a vendor supplied VPN router. I need to see the IP traffic incoming to my router from the WAN side (fasteth0/1 below). I setup ip cef, and ip flow ingress on the interface. However -- it seems that what I see when I use "ip cache flow" command doesn't have a very long history or life. What commands am I missing so that I can see a summary of the stats over say the last 5, 10 or 15 minutes? Is this the best config that can be used for this, or can I create a more summarized report just using the router HW and IOS?

The "Cisco Small Business 300 Series Managed Switches Administration Guide" and the data sheet indicate that this switch can do accounting requests with a Radius server. On the SF300 switch interface/CLI, there is only the authentication port, the accounting port can not be set (and nothing is sent by the switch to the default port). I suppose that the SF300-08 does not handle accounting. Maybe I have to change for another model.
I am using the CISCO SG300-28 with firmware version 1.0.0.27. I enabled RADIUS authentication and accounting. Authentication is working but there are no accounting requests/replys (Accounting on, accounting off, accoun ting start, accounting stop) when running RADIUS in debug mode. I also did a packetcapture and there are no accounting packets.
So i updated the firmware image up to version 1.1.2.0. When I now want to configure accounting in RADIUS settings then there isn't any option to set an accounting port.
Ich checked the data sheet of the switch and it says that accounting is supported:
=============================================== 802.1X: RADIUS authentication and accounting, MD5 hash; guest VLAN; unauthenticated VLAN, single/multiple host mode and single/multiple sessions [URL] ===============================================
I did a second packet capture with the new firmware image and there are still no accounting packets.
The RADIUS server is configured correct for accounting because when using another NAS like a WLAN-AP with DD-WRT accounting is workings. It is working with pfsense Captive Portal (an open source firewall and routing solution with a hotspot portal).
