# Tacacs Input Plugin
|
|
|
|
The Tacacs plugin collects successful tacacs authentication response times
|
|
from tacacs servers such as Aruba ClearPass, FreeRADIUS or tac_plus (TACACS+).
|
|
It is primarily meant to monitor how long it takes for the server to fully
|
|
handle an auth request, including all potential dependent calls (for example
|
|
to AD servers, or other sources of truth for auth the tacacs server uses).
|
|
|
|
## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
|
|
|
|
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
|
|
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
|
|
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
|
|
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
|
|
|
|
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
```toml @sample.conf
|
|
# Tacacs plugin collects successful tacacs authentication response times.
|
|
[[inputs.tacacs]]
|
|
## An array of Server IPs (or hostnames) and ports to gather from. If none specified, defaults to localhost.
|
|
# servers = ["127.0.0.1:49"]
|
|
|
|
## Request source server IP, normally the server running telegraf.
|
|
# request_ip = "127.0.0.1"
|
|
|
|
## Credentials for tacacs authentication.
|
|
username = "myuser"
|
|
password = "mypassword"
|
|
secret = "mysecret"
|
|
|
|
## Maximum time to receive response.
|
|
# response_timeout = "5s"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Metrics
|
|
|
|
- tacacs
|
|
- tags:
|
|
- source
|
|
- fields:
|
|
- response_status (string, [see below](#field-response_status)))
|
|
- responsetime_ms (int64 [see below](#field-responsetime_ms)))
|
|
|
|
### field `response_status`
|
|
|
|
The field "response_status" is either a translated raw code returned
|
|
by the tacacs server, or filled by telegraf in case of a timeout.
|
|
|
|
| Field Value | Raw Code | From | responsetime_ms
|
|
| -------------------- | ------------ | ------------- | ---------------
|
|
| AuthenStatusPass | 1 (0x1) | tacacs server | real value
|
|
| AuthenStatusFail | 2 (0x2) | tacacs server | real value
|
|
| AuthenStatusGetData | 3 (0x3) | tacacs server | real value
|
|
| AuthenStatusGetUser | 4 (0x4) | tacacs server | real value
|
|
| AuthenStatusGetPass | 5 (0x5) | tacacs server | real value
|
|
| AuthenStatusRestart | 6 (0x6) | tacacs server | real value
|
|
| AuthenStatusError | 7 (0x7) | tacacs server | real value
|
|
| AuthenStatusFollow | 33 (0x21) | tacacs server | real value
|
|
| Timeout | Timeout | telegraf | eq. to response_timeout
|
|
|
|
### field `responsetime_ms`
|
|
|
|
The field responsetime_ms is response time of the tacacs server
|
|
in milliseconds of the furthest achieved stage of auth.
|
|
In case of timeout, its filled by telegraf to be the value of
|
|
the configured response_timeout.
|
|
|
|
## Example Output
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
tacacs,source=127.0.0.1:49 responsetime_ms=311i,response_status="AuthenStatusPass" 1677526200000000000
|
|
```
