How to configure your Shibboleth IdP to send F-TICKS

Easily done in 2 steps:

1) Modify the file "logback.xml"  adding this part of code  right above    "<!-- F-TICKS syslog destination -->"


<!-- F-TICKS syslog destination. -->
<appender name="IDP_FTICKS_GEANT" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.net.SyslogAppender">
 <syslogHost>  IP.ADDRESS.OFTHE.COLLECTOR  </syslogHost>
 <port>514</port>
 <facility>AUTH</facility>
 <suffixPattern>[%thread] %logger %msg</suffixPattern>
</appender>
<logger name="Shibboleth-FTICKS" level="ALL" additivity="false">
 <appender-ref ref="IDP_FTICKS_GEANT"/>
</logger>

2) Restart the service with the following command:


export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
/bin/sh /opt/shibboleth-idp/bin/reload-service.sh -id shibboleth.LoggingService
